BP given freedom from Turkish law

Today FoEI has published a remarkable story about an outrageous deal between BP and other oil companies and the Turkish Government. A major new 1760km pipeline is planned to run from Baku on the Caspian Sea to Ceyhan on the Turkish Mediterranean coast. The deal depends on what BP’s John Browne shamelessly calls “free public money” and exempts the corridor of the pipeline from most Turkish environmental, social and human rights law.

Full details of the deal are available from FoEI and can be found online at www.foe.co.uk/resource/evidence/turkey_btc_agreement.pdf.
