Unlike his peer, BP CEO John Browne, Royal Dutch Shell chief Jeroen van der Veer got a raise last year.
Van der Veer was paid 3.69 million euros (about $4.9 million) last year, up from 3.48 million euros in 2005,according to Shell’s annual report, filed yesterday. His pay was close to that of Lord Browne — but that CEO has taken pay cuts two years running, as his company deals with safety issues and a host of other problems.
Van der Veer, in contrast, oversaw a record annual profit in 2006 and a fourth-quarter gain of oil and gas production, long a sore spot for Shell. His 2006 compensation included a 2-million-euro bonus, a car allowance and transportation between his home and office. One assumes said car and transportation run on gasoline.

Jeroen van der Veer is so desperate to secure hydrocarbon reserves after one third of Shell’s reserves vanished in the 2004 scandal, with more lost as a result of Shell’s Sakhalin2 humiliation in Russia, that Shell is now flouting all moral and ethical considerations by entering into a business relationship with the Iranian government. This is despite the fact that the Iranians are supplying roadside bombs which are killing American and British soldiers.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. 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.
