"Madam President, if I understand the Commissioner correctly, he is defending continued expenditure on Sakhalin II, despite the fact that it fails to meet most of the bank’s own criteria. The first criterion is that funding is only supposed to be given to projects that cannot otherwise be funded in a simple way. Shell, the owner of the company in question, last year recorded earnings of USD 23 billion. They have enough money to find the cash they need somewhere.
The EBRD states that sustainable development is the highest priority. Yet, if this is so, what we have here is a case of building first and worrying about monitoring things afterwards. No heed was paid to the advice provided by the group of experts you mention until it was too late. No measures at all were taken in respect of the environmental problems; I have a long list of environmental problems that were not dealt with. Nor was the ‘stakeholder dialogue’ implemented as set out in the programmes. Seventeen organisations were against what was proposed. That is a monologue, not a dialogue."@en1
