The statement added that the parliament is serious about approving the budget as soon as possible in the public interest and required benefits.

It is worth mentioning that the Tripartite Commission , which was mandated to negotiate in order to reach an agreement between Baghdad and Erbil on the issue of oil export from the region has announced yesterday , Sunday , it’s the failure to reach an agreement .
