Shell CEO urges Britain to remain in European Union
Shell CEO Ben van Buerden is the latest business leader to voice his views on a possible ‘Brexit’
By Andrew Critchlow in Vienna: 04 Jun 2015
Britain should stay in Europe, the head of the UK’s largest publicly listed company Royal Dutch Shell has said as a growing number of business leaders express concerns ahead of a referendum on the issue in 2017.
Speaking on the sidelines of an energy conference in Vienna, Ben van Buerden, chief executive of Shell said: “I don’t think it will be a good idea for Britain to exit Europe.”
The boss of the Anglo-Dutch major with headquarters in London added: “I think it will be for the benefit of Europe and the UK and certainly for businesses like ourselves with very very strong legs in one and the other to see a continued engagement between the EU and Britain.”
I remember the launch of another wonder fuel by Shell in 1986, “Formula Shell”, based on new technology and with a scientific image deliberately conjured up by Shell. There was only one small problem. The new wonder fuel ruined many car engines and it did so on an international basis.

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.
