Titolo: Eni - Iraq ed Iran

Interessante quest'articolo... Pare che l'amministrazione Bush voglia
mettere Eni nella sua black list a causa dei suoi rapporti d'affari con
l'Iran. Per questo pare che si TFE sia ENI potrebbero essere escluse dallo
sfruttamento dei pozzi iracheni una volta finita la guerra....
Ma non è tanto questo a preoccuparmi. Se gli USA dovessero prendere di mira
l'IRAN dopo l'Iraq di quanti barili al giorno calerebbe la produzione di ENI
che in quel paese ha parecchi investimenti?

The Pentagon is drawing up a blacklist of non-US companies investing in
Iran's energy sector, with a possible view to barring them from US-awarded
contracts in the reconstruction of neighbouring Iraq, according to private
sector sources close to the US defence department.
The companies on the draft list include several from countries within the
US-led "coalition of the willing", such as oil companies Shell of the UK and
Italy's Eni. TotalFinaElf of France, which led opposition within the UN to
the war, is also listed.
President George W. Bush last year identified Iraq, Iran and North Korea as
an "axis of evil" that pursued weapons of mass destruction and aided
terrorists.
A Pentagon spokesman declined to comment on the blacklist.
The Pentagon is listing companies regarded as being in breach of the
Iran-Libya Sanctions Act (Ilsa). This provides for sanctions to be imposed
on non-US companies that invest more than $20m yearly in the energy sectors
of the two countries, designated as state sponsors of terrorism.
The European Union says the act, passed in 1996 and renewed in 2001, is in
breach of international trade rules. To date, the law has not been applied.
Former President Bill Clinton issued a waiver for TotalFinaElf's investment
in Iran, while other cases are under review.
An analyst of Iran-US relations, who asked not to be named, said the
possible application of Ilsa would "kill two birds with one stone", by
putting pressure on Iran and helping US companies.
The removal of Iran's Islamic theocracy is high on the wish list of senior
hawks in the Bush administration. Richard Perle, until this week an
influential adviser to the Pentagon, said recently he was optimistic that
regime change in Iran would come about without US military intervention. But
he denied knowledge of a Pentagon corporate blacklist.
Several large US companies do business in Iran through subsidiaries.
Halliburton, the oil services company formerly headed by Vice-President Dick
Cheney, said this month it agreed under shareholder pressure to review its
operations in the country. A Halliburton unit later won a contract to
extinguish oil-well fires in Iraq but it emerged yesterday that it was no
longer in the running for a larger reconstruction contract.
Non-US companies fear they will be excluded from US government contracts in
Iraq. A US official sought to calm concerns, saying there would be no curbs
on bidders "from the free world".
The US has yet to explain the delay in announcing the award of the first
major reconstruction contract of $900m, which did not go through an open
tender process. The winner will be one of five selected US companies. Some
work is expected to be subcontracted to non-US companies.

Se quello che scrivono č vero, Bush non č solo un idiota, č un pazzo
criminale da fermare al piů presto possibile.


--->ma allora ditelo che questa guerra e' un complotto segreto per far
venire l'ulcera al flamini...:0)

 che in quel paese ha parecchi investimenti?
Buzz sta aggiungendo schiaffi su schiaffi alla sua collezione se vuole
prendere la mazzata finale non ha che da andare in Iran che non ha subito i
12 anni del terribile embargo iraqeno e dunque sarà pronto a rispondere in
maniera ancora più dura, Comunque l' Eni per il momento in Iran produce
50.000 b/g circa le fasi 4 e 5 di South pars non sono ancora operative.
Comunque fossi al posto di Powell prima di mettere l' Eni sulla lista nera
io metterei la famiglia Buzz, infatti loro hanno fatto e forse fanno ancora
affari con il clan Bin Laden, l' Eni non ha potuto vendere l' Enichem alla
Sabic, per il dipartimento di stato ha detto no, visto che in tempi lontani
uno zio di Osama entro nel consiglio di amministrazione
