THE UN Secretary-Generals special envoy Alexander Downer, reported Offsite, is a director of an intelligence gathering firm, Hakluyt & Co, which was set up in 1995 by two former MI6 agents. The company, according to Offsite, sells information to companies, regarding government decisions and plans; in the past it had been passing information to Shell and BP about the activities of Greenpeace.
The electronic newsletter, asked whether there was a conflict of interest and suggested that Downer had an obligation to explain what the connection was between Hakluyt and MI6 and CIA. Asked by hacks to comment, Downer said he was a member of an advisory board of Hakluyt and that once a year he would attend meetings at which members gave their views on international matters in different parts of the world.
By Friday, Simerini columnists were arguing that the Aussie had a moral obligation to resign from one of the two posts because there was a blatant conflict of interest.
He cannot be the member of an organisation that sells information and at the same time be in charge of the dialogue for a solution of the Cyprus problem, wrote Costakis Antoniou.
Neither Costakis nor Savvas should worry. Even if Downer wanted to sell info about the talks he would have great difficulty finding anybody to buy it.

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.
