international / eu / other press Thursday November 30, 2006 21:27 by ShellWatch
Shell has been fined €160 million euro by the European Commission for fixing prices of synthetic rubber used to make tyres and other products. Shell was fined along with four other major companies for operating the cartel from at least 1996 to 2002. Its fine was increased from what it would have been under the Commission's normal calculations because of repeat offences. read full story / add a comment

Isn't it strange that when in sniffing distance of getting back into power the local parties shy away from association with opposition to separate water charges. Is the thought of missing out on the double tax so hard to swallow. Maybe the truth is as suspected that all allong the likes of the DUP SF really agreed with the policy. read full story / add a comment

A draft European Parliament report into alleged CIA rendition flights has expressed 'serious concerns' over the 147 stopovers made by CIA-operated aircraft at Irish airports. The report says these aircraft were on many occasions coming from, or en route to, countries linked with 'extraordinary rendition' and the transfer of alleged terrorism suspects or detainees. It also claims that CIA linked aircraft which had stopped off in Ireland had 'certainly been used for the extraordinary renditions' of nine named individuals. http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/breaking/2006/1128/bre...4.htm Working documents on companies involved http://www.statewatch.org/cia/documents/working-doc-no-...6.pdf read full story / add a comment

A recent study highlighting the rapid expansion of organised criminal activity in those areas where NATO and the U.S. have engaged in aggressive military intervention offers further evidence of the lasting negative social consequences of foreign occupation by neo-colonial powers. As corporate driven America attempts to assert its dominance over weaker nations, organised crime, quick to exploit traumatised societies, becomes the principal beneficiary in the 'war against terror' and the spread of ‘democracy, liberty’ and free market capitalism – what is good for capitalist America is even better for a crime boss! read full story / add a comment

Rape victims are being turned away from the very facilities designed to help them. Victims who have been turned away from facilities around the country are also going to Dublin for treatment resulting in a 30% increase in the number of people reporting there for treatment. Dublin treatment centres were already in crisis. The treatment unit in the Rotunda has been closed because there is no doctor available. Ellen O'Malley-Dunlop, of the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre says that the crisis is due to a lack of funding. Nora Newell, a Spokesperson for the Rape Crisis Centre in Letterkenny, reports that women are not reporting rapes because a lack of forensic doctors there means they would have to travel to Dublin wearing the same clothes and this would be unbearable. read full story / add a comment
