| Message | This bill is highly contradictory: on one hand article 1 promotes privatisation, on the other, articles 5, 6 and 7 are higher on the statism scale than even we are comfortable with. Not to mention the fact that article 6 runs against our common investment policy with Rildanor. Articles 2, 3 and 4 are far too extreme. We are going to vote no and present a more moderate bill on the environment-related portion. We could be persuaded to vote for articles 5 and 7 separately, and a more moderate version of article 6. |
