Michael Wareing, who heads the new Basra Development Commission, acknowledged that there would be concerns among Iraqis about multinationals exploiting natural resources.
Nein, wirklich? Immerhin haben sie einen Plan, um die Region anzukurbeln:Wareing, international chief executive of KPMG, was asked by Brown to help kick-start business in the Basra region in the hope that prosperity will bring stability. On his first visit last week, he met officials and business leaders but a sandstorm forced him to cancel a flight to Baghdad to meet Maliki and General David Petraeus, the US's commanding officer in Iraq.
KPMG! Wer auch sonst. Die hätte ich auch geschickt. Bwahahahaha. Stellt sich nur noch die Frage, ob das auch sicher ist.In the first interview since his appointment, Wareing, 53, told The Observer that security had improved significantly in recent months and was no longer an issue for investors. 'If you look at many other economies in the world, particularly the oil-rich economies, many of these places are quite challenging countries in which to do business,' he said. 'Frankly, if you can successfully operate in the Niger Delta, that is a very different benchmark from imagining that Basra needs to be like London or Paris.'
Auch da wehren sich die Eingeborenen dagegen, dass die Multinationals ihnen da mit Hilfe der korrupten Junta die Bodenschätze rauben, und ihnen nur die verseuchte Umwelt zurück lassen. Kein gänzlich blöder Vergleich also.
