    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I would like to start with sub-clause (1). Clause 58 (1) says:- “Pursuant to Article 71 of the Constitution, the Cabinet Secretary shall, upon a declaration of commerciality by the contractor, and the submission adoption and approval of the Field Development Plan, submit to Parliament the Field Development Plan for ratification.” We want to delete the words “upon a declaration of commerciality by the contractor, and the submission adoption and approval of the Field Development Plan, submit to Parliament the Field Development Plan for ratification” and substitute therefore the words “within thirty days of receipt of production sharing contract submit to Parliament for ratification all production sharing contracts entered into pursuant to this Act and regulations made under this Act.” Clause 58 (1) will then read: “Pursuant to Article 71 of the Constitution, the Cabinet Secretary shall, within thirty days of receipt of a production sharing contract, submit to Parliament for ratification all production sharing contracts entered into pursuant to this Act and regulations made under this Act.” That is the amendment to sub-clause (1). In sub-clause (2), we intend to delete the words “the Field Development Plan”. Clause 58 (2) says:- “Parliament shall, within sixty days after receipt of the Field Development Plan −” We do not want “the Field Development Plan”; we want “the production sharing agreement”. That is the second amendment. Paragraph (a) says that Parliament shall ratify the Field Development Plan. Instead of ratifying that plan, we now want to ratify the production sharing contract. In paragraph (a) again, we want to delete the words “Field Development Plan”. That is to say that Parliament, within 60 days after receipt of the Field Development Plan, shall refuse to ratify and refer the Field Development Plan back to the Cabinet Secretary for reconsideration. We want to say the production sharing agreement is marked to the Cabinet Secretary."
