". – This oil company has, I understand, now been purchased by an American oil company but that does not change the picture. It neither adds to nor subtracts from the problem. Nor in my view does the presence of the former Swedish Prime Minister on its board of directors affect the problem. We have no specific relations with the organisation mentioned or this specific oil company.
The oil activity in the Sudan should be looked upon as a resource for the country to be utilised to the fullest extent possible for the good of the Sudanese people. We see many cases of a perverse use of oil resources. If we look at it from a point of view of distribution policy, very few of the developing countries with oil resources are enjoying socially positive effects from that. One of the elements that we raised in the discussion on priorities in East Timor, at the very launching of our presence there, was to advise them that they should be sure to get first-class consultants to assist in handling the whole issue of the oil resources which are now part of the economic future of that country. Internal distribution is important and this should be discussed with probably most developing countries."@en1
