Shell takeover deal may face local resistance
Australian regulators are shaping up as one of the major hurdles for Royal Dutch Shell’s friendly $91 billion takeover of BG Group, with analysts tipping coal-seam gas sales may be needed for Shell’s plan to create a world-dominating LNG business to get through.
Credit Suisse analysts said the transaction between the energy giants should clear regulators in Brazil, where Shell wants BG’s deepwater Santos Basin, and the European Union, where both companies are domiciled.

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.
