Chief executive of Royal Dutch Shell Company said on Thursday that the oil company will invest in Iraq only if they are fully confident of the legal framework that governs the oil and gas projects.
Iraqi government had adopted last February a draft law on Iraq’s oil, which would facilitate investment to foreign companies and it is important for the organization of dividing the huge oil wealth among the sects and ethnic groups.
However, Jeroen van der Veer, Head of Shell said that his company is still studying the law and it needs to make sure that it would not be facing a different legal framework before it ventures with its funds.
He told reporters on the sidelines of a conference in Paris, “You must not only think in the legal system existing now, but you must be confident that it will continue in order to invest their”.
He also prefers to negotiate with Baghdad and not with local governments on oil contracts, saying that it would be “perfectly logical” to conduct negotiations with the central government.
He went on to say that the security situation in Iraq must be stabilized well before the flow of investments.

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.
