Gazprom move
Gazprom, the Russian gas group that wants to become a big distributor in Britain, is to take a stake in Gasunie’s 142-mile Balgzand-Bacton pipeline, which will pump up to 16 billion cubic metres of gas a year from the Netherlands to Britain from next year. Gazprom secured the stake in return for offering Gasunie equity in its Baltic Sea pipeline, which will run from Russia to Germany.
GM investor revolt
General Motors shareholders took a stand against the board of the ailing carmaker by demanding the right to more control over the way in which directors are elected. Under a measure called “cumulative voting” that investors voted for yesterday, shareholders would be allowed to withhold votes for certain directors and use them to give another proposed director extra support.
Gas plan opposed
Environmental advisers are urging Western Australia’s government to block plans for the A$11 billion (£4.4 billion) Gorgon offshore gas project, jointly owned by Chevron, Royal Dutch Shell and Exxon Mobil.

The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
