European Parliament
De Rossa (PSE ).
I should like to ask the Commissioner if he could expand on the remark he made on the Council taking decisions regarding investment in state–owned companies. This relates to specifically named companies. I understand that Total has recently done a deal with the Myanmar Oil and Gas Exploration Company. Is that deal affected by the Council's decision? If not, why not, if we are serious about exerting serious economic pressure?
Lastly I should like to ask the Commissioner whether he would agree that this matter should now be raised within the UN Security Council.
