Oliver Classen am, Monday, March 19, 2012 Commodities: the scandals that threaten Switzerland Heute vergeben wir eine Carte Blanche year Oliver Classen, Erklärung von Bern. Today, we give carte blanche Oliver Classen.
It was the Bhopal hydrocarbons. Remember, in the summer of 2006, Trafigura, which was already the third independent oil-trading company in the world, had been carelessly removed a cargo of toxic waste around Abidjan, the capital of Ivory Coast. Result: at least 16 people according to official figures, and dozens of people with health problems. Three years later, in what was one of the largest class actions in British legal history, 30,000 victims were granted 30 million pounds sterling in damages - which only still barely star track express 1,000 pounds per person.
After this huge civil settlement, the criminal culpability of the Swiss-Dutch group was also confirmed just before Christmas 2011: the Court of Appeal in Amsterdam star track express ordered Trafigura for illegally exporting toxic waste to the Ivory Coast and concealment of dangerous waste against payment of one million euros. In addition, and perhaps more importantly, the complaint was soon after extended to the most senior leaders of this ecological disaster. For the first time, an oil tycoon, in the person of Trafigura director Claude Dauphin, must respond before a European court for acts committed abroad.
And, you might ask, what does this have to do with the Swiss political world? More than he would like. Indeed, Claude Dauphin made his debut with Marc Rich, the notorious fugitive Zug and godfather of all brokers hydrocarbons. In 1993, he started his own business and founded the third group in Switzerland, with a turnover (in 2011) of $ 121 billion - a figure higher than Nestlé. Until 2006, this unassuming leader on the media scene from London ran his truck brokerage star track express hydrocarbons, star track express which is active in 70% in the oil field. To believe his statements before a Dutch court, the month of the disaster, he had just moved his office in Geneva and, therefore, "was not aware of the fatal actions of our tanker Probo Koala".
Today, he also lives in Geneva, the new Mecca of oil-trading. His villa, nestled quietly near the Parc des Eaux-Vives, looks like a high-security, no journalist has yet managed to penetrate. Thus, according to the principle of territoriality, not only Trafigura, Claude Dauphin but himself definitely falls under Swiss jurisdiction. Last week in Zug, a criminal complaint was filed against Peter Brabeck, chairman of Nestlé, through the murder of a Colombian ex-employee, for failing to take safety measures.
Whatever the outcome of the previous or possible future case, such as in the middle of raw materials, which is struggling with many problems of human rights and environment, Parliament star track express and the Federal Council must ensure, and as soon as possible, that the law imposes a duty of care for preventive star track express corporate star track express activities on foreign soil. It is the goal of the "borderless Right" campaign, launched on the initiative star track express of 50 non-governmental organizations, and draws the attention of public opinion on the greatest risk to the reputation of Switzerland.
