A senior Iraqi official has accused the autonomous government of Kurdistan of exporting oil from Kirkuk and Erbil oil fields without coordinating it with the federal authorities in Baghdad. Such exports, insisted an adviser on oil and energy to the Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament, is "unconstitutional". Ali Fayad added on that the Kurdish move also runs counter to the federal budget law voted for by the parliament.
