2. Takes the view that, in the draft Special Measure for Iraq for 2007, the Commission exceeds the implementing powers laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 by selecting as one of the areas of intervention a "Feasibility Study for the Akkas Gas Field", the overall objective of which is "to study the conditions for exploration of the Akkas Gas Field in western Iraq in view of linking its output to the Syrian gas pipeline network", and further "to integrate this project if possible in the workings of the Euro-Arab Mashreq Gas Market Project"; points out that "the study will take into consideration the future interest of the Mashreq neighbours and of the EU in integrating the output of the wells into the Euro-Mashreq gas market", and that "this integra ...[+++]tion will open a large potential market for the Akkas fields' production and allow a first integration of the Iraq natural gas with the regional and European market", and therefore considers that this objective is not in compliance with Article 2(1) and (4) of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006, in that the primary objective of the proposed Special Measures is not the eradication of poverty and in that the stated objectives do not fulfil the criteria for ODA established by the OECD/DAC;

The new discoveries add to three existing fields in the Colville Hills, which together could pool sufficient gas to warrant a connector line to the main Mackenzie Valley trunk line, with throughputs roughly estimated at 100 million to 200 million cubic feet per day.

In general terms, the three development plan applications were for gas fields. They are referred to as the anchor fields for the Mackenzie Valley Gas Project.
