The General Directorate of Petroleum has formed a new committee to monitor project implementation and ensure the integrity of procedures.
While this step is important in strengthening oversight, the formation raises questions about the members' experience and ability to perform the task professionally.
A legal controversy also arises regarding the committee's relationship with the Syrian Petroleum Holding Company (SPC), which is supposed to be the primary authority for the sector after its establishment.
It is not yet confirmed whether the committee has obtained the approval of the Minister of Energy, a key factor that gives it official status and defines its framework.
Without clarity on its powers and linking its work to transparent mechanisms, the committee's effectiveness remains dependent on its implementation on the ground.
