Meeting for investors on Iraq's hydrocarbon laws planned
Commerce
The American Chamber of Commerce of Iraq (AmCham-Iraq) and the Iraqi Development Program (IDP) have announced plans for industry-government summits on the proposed hydrocarbon laws of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) to take place in Amman, Jordan and Erbil during the fourth quarter of 2006. These events - the first of their kind - are designed to further the dialogue between global and regional oil companies interested in participating in the development of the Iraqi oil sectors and officials of the governments of the Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government.
Initially in Amman, details of this process will be explained and leading oil and gas executives will have the opportunity to comment on the forthcoming legislation. Feedback will be filtered through AmCham Iraq and presented to the legislative decision making authorities in Iraq. Under AmCham-Iraq planning, the high-level summit in Amman will be followed by a two-day summit in Erbil with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). Here there will be an opportunity to obtain the latest information on the KRG proposed hydrocarbon law and to engage in private one-on-one meetings with KRG senior decision makers.
