Parliament approves legislating emergency support law

Baghdad-INA


The National Product Bloc, which is part of the coordination framework, announced Thursday, that the framework will proceed with the legislation of the emergency support law, indicating that the law will give some amounts to the governorates to implement lagging and delayed projects.
 
Representative of the bloc, Ibtisam Al-Hilali, told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "There is a legal formula regarding the emergency food security support law after the Federal Court responded to it, as it is presented by the parliament as a proposed law, voted on and sent to the government for implementation."

She added, "The emergency support law supports several segments of society and came to solve the crisis of high prices in the markets," noting that "the coordinating framework wants to legislate the budget law, but because of its delay, we will proceed to legislate the emergency support law to support the ration card and farmers and many matters that concern the citizen."

She continued, "The law will give some sums to the governorates to implement some lagging and delayed projects," noting that "the coordination framework is with the legislation of this law."

The Parliamentary Finance Committee confirmed, at an earlier time, the continuation of reading the proposed law on emergency support for food security and development in preparation for discussion and passing it in accordance with the powers of the legislative authority, while noting that the schedules of amounts will not exceed 25 trillion dinars.
