236 million dollars, Albania won the arbitration in Paris, Braçe: How I
Oil extraction plant in the Patos-Marinza field

The international court operating under the International Chamber of Commerce based in Paris has given the final decision on the lawsuit brought by Bankers Petroleum against the Ministry of Energy and Industry of Albania (MIE) and Albpetrol.

The dispute, which Bankers had referred to arbitration, related to the cost recovery procedure under the 2004 Agreement relating to operations in the Patos Marinza oilfield. Bankers asked to keep all the sums generated by the production of Pato Marinza's pitch.

At the end of the trial, Albania prevailed on many of the issues of interpretation of the Agreements before the Court.

The decision concludes that over 236 million dollars of the costs claimed by Bankers and contested by AKBN have been rejected and declared irrecoverable.

The result of the dispute is that Bankers will have to return to Albania sums on account of the Patos Marinza oil field. This will increase the historical profits of the oil field and lead to profit tax payments to the state.

Socialist deputy Erion Braçe also reacted to this decision, saying that he is happy as he emphasizes that he fought hard for this issue.

"Investigating, I discovered that the Bankers lied about the recoverable expenses and that they favored it in relation to the coefficient of 1; I presented this to Sali Berisha's governments, I confronted his Ministers of Energy and Finance, but it was time for them to change their attitude; as chairman of the Economy Commission, I did the same thing with the governments of Edi Rames, his ministers and they verified these claims; "Bankers did not accept the findings, went to Arbitration and finally lost today", emphasizes Braçe.

Brace's full post:

S ALKIPERIA HAS JUST WON A STRONG COURT,

FOR A CRAZY FIGURE:

236,000,000 EUROS!

TWO HUNDRED THIRTY SEVEN MILLION EUROS!

TO BANKERS PETROLEUM - the company that owns the hydrocarbon agreement for the largest oil-bearing area in the country!

I barely found the news anywhere, barely!

Had it been a decision against ALBANIA, it would have been ours; now that he is in favor of ALBANIA, he does not become us!

Neyse, as one of the Albanians who, in the fulfillment of his duty as a deputy, has dealt with this issue and BANKERS PETROLEUM himself, I am happy;

Investigating, I discovered that the Bankers lied about the recoverable expenses and that they favored it in relation to the coefficient of 1; I presented this to Sali Berisha's governments, I confronted his Ministers of Energy and Finance, but it was time for them to change their attitude; as chairman of the Economy Commission, I did the same thing with the governments of Edi Rames, his ministers and they verified these claims;

Bankers did not accept the findings, went to Arbitration and today HUUUUMBIIII FINALLY!

It turned out that Bankers lied about the recoverable expenses, hid the profit and avoided 50% PROFIT TAX!

It's that simple!

Many thanks to everyone who participated in this battle;

Congratulations to everyone from the first to Minister Balluku; it is a great victory and a vital precedent for ALBANIA, its greatest asset!

I believe that today, from Sali Berisha to his ministers, other important people who became important clients of Bankers and who said nothing against me and others like me who were protecting the public interest, FEEL THE SAME LOSE SO MANY BANKERS!
