Shell announced second quarter profits of $8,000,000,000 today. The company is currently exploiting Irish Natural gas off the west coast for which it is liable for zero royalties. While tax may be charged at some point in the future on Shell Ireland's profits, the Anglo-Dutch company has shown itself to be skilled in avoiding tax when it can. Irish gas bills for domestic users are set to raise by 20% in September, with another 20% rise expected in the new year. The Irish state owns no stake in the Corrib field. New licences on the same giveaway terms are currently being issued for Irish offshore blocks in the Rockall Basin. http://www.dcenr.gov.ie/Natural/Petroleum+Affairs+Divis...d.htm read full story / add a comment

The Guardian reports it here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jul/29/wto.eu It didn't require the Irish Government to use their veto as the farmers have been demanding! Larger forces were at work. China and india don't want to be flooded by cheap food imports from the US. In other words they want to maintain their own small scale agriculture and their own food security. This is spelt out by Mandelson in his blog. Walden Bello of Focus on The Global South, and a noted ongoing critic of the WTO and neo-liberalism more generally, sees the re-localisation of agriculture (that such a collapse may make possible) as central to the mitigation of climate change.
