EITI ++

As part of an intense campaign by Intermón Oxfam and FRIDE the Spanish media has begun to engage with issues surrounding EITI and the resource curse. During the fourth EITI Global Conference in Doha, Qatar, on 16-18 February and at the World Bank’s Extractive Industries Week in Washington on 3-5 March, numerous articles appeared in the Spanish press.

Publish What You Pay applauds the efforts of Intermón Oxfam (a PWYP member) and FRIDE in raising the critical issue of transparency in the extractive industries with the Spanish government and the public in general.

OxFam America Tuesday announced it was helping to promote a campaign, which is suggesting that federal legislation may be needed to reform revenue transparency rules for oil, gas and mining companies working in developing nations.
