PROJECT ENTERS THE FUNDING PIPELINE : The countdown starts now! 120 days to
stop banks using YOUR money to pay for big oil.
BP has now formally asked for funding from the World Bank (IFC) and the European
Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) for its controversial new Caspian
oil pipeline (BVEJ newsletters passim). This means there are just 120 days

consultation period so we all get a chance let them know what we think of the
BTC pipeline.
