Posted 14 June 04
Royal Dutch/Shell faces the prospect of a investor revolt. With two weeks before the oil giant’s delayed twin annual meetings, institutional shareholders are growing increasingly frustrated by the secrecy surrounding the internal review of its governance structures and they plan to go public with their grievances, in person, at the meetings.

Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
