The Iraqi oil ministry is disappointed to have an agreement with the Kurdistan Regional Government and accusing Masrour Barzani of not cooperating and not complying with the federal court's decision. The Iraqi government intends to formally call on Turkey to stop exporting the KRG oil, which may be the beginning of a tougher economic phase in the region. 

The Iraq's oil ministry decides
The Iraqi oil ministry is expected to announce a strong stance on the Kurdistan Regional Government in the next few days, an informed source from Baghdad told Draw.
According to the source, the Iraqi ministry of oil intends to formally inform the Iraqi Council of Ministers and the public that the regional government, particularly Masrour Barzani himself, is not complying with the federal court's decision.
After notifying the Iraqi government and the general public about the region's non-compliance, the Iraqi oil ministry wants to formally stop exporting the region's oil through the Jaihan port.
80% of the Kurdistan regional government's income comes from oil sales alone, and stopping oil exports paralyzes the region's economy and people's life in general. 

KRG and the federal court's decisions
The regional government and the Iraqi oil ministry have not yet reached an agreement on implemention of the February 15 decision of the Federal Supreme Court.
On The 11th of this month, for the first time since the supreme federal court's decision was issued, a delegation of the Kurdistan regional government went to Baghdad and met with the oil ministry officials.
The Iraqi ministry of oil said the meeting was to discuss how to implement the federal court's decision on the Kurdistan Region, yet on the 15th of this month, Abdul-Hakim Khasraw, a member of the regional government delegation, said, "The visit of the regional delegation to Baghdad was not to negotiate on the decision," he said. "We have not been able to implement the federal court's decision because we have formally responded to Baghdad that we will negotiate based on the constitution, not the decision."
On February 15 this year, after ten years of waiting, the Iraqi Supreme Federal Court settled the Iraqi government's legal status on the Kurdistan Regional Government's oil and gas case.

The details of the federal court's decision are as follows:
• Kurdistan Region's oil and gas law No. 22 of 2007 is unconstitutional and dismantled.
• The KRG government shall abide by the handover of all oil products from the Kurdistan Region's fields and other areas, which the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Region extracts oil from) to the federal government.
• The complaint has the right to investigate the cancellation of oil contracts signed by the Regional Government and the Representative of the Minister of Natural Resources with foreign parties, states, and companies regarding the discovery, extraction, export, and sale of oil and gas.
• Obliging the Kurdistan Regional Government to allow the Iraqi Ministry of Oil and the Federal Financial Supervisory Board to review all oil contracts that the Kurdistan Regional Government has made regarding the export and sale of oil and gas.
