Friday, September 7, 2007 (Buenos Aires):
The local unit of Royal Dutch Shell PLC said Thursday it plans to appeal a shutdown order for its Buenos Aires refinery, a day after the government said it lacks environmental permits and impact studies.
Shell Argentina President Juan Jose Aranguren said operations at the facility in the capital were being scaled back in response to the order.
“A shutdown will take five days to implement, and would take five days to restore to full capacity,” he said.
The plant turns much of its oil into gas and diesel fuels for vehicles, and also processes jet fuel, lubricants, solvents and paving asphalt.
It supplies about 14 per cent of the country’s service stations, but Aranguren warned that Shell would not import fuel to make up for any shortfall.
“If you want to know if we are going to assume the loss of importing all of the product that (the government) won’t let us produce, we aren’t going to do it,” he said.
Aranguren said the company would enter talks Thursday night with the government in preparation for an appeal, and would seek a court injunction if it fails.
Pollution
Authorities ordered the close Wednesday, saying inspections at the Shell refinery in the Dock Sud area of Buenos Aires turned up pollution in soil samples.
In a statement, the government also accused the plant of drawing water from the nearby River Plate estuary without necessary permits, having deficient procedures for handling waste and lacking environmental impact studies.
Argentine officials recently accused Shell of failing to fully supply domestic fuel demands as required by law in the middle of a winter power crunch. Commerce Secretary Guillermo Moreno fined the company, but a judge rejected his efforts to imprison local Shell representatives.

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.
