Honduras to Store Oil in
Transnationals Tanks
Despite the opposition of US oil
transnationals Exxon Mobil,
Chevron and national company
DIPPSA, the Honduran government
ratified on Sunday it will
temporarily use reservoirs of
those ventures to stock the
crude it will import.
Saturday, President Manuel
Zelaya announced that his
administration will rent those
installations in 2007 to import
over eight millions of barrels
of gasoline and diesel bought to
Conoco Phillips firm.
Zelaya warned the government had
to decree the temporal use of
the oil terminals of those
companies after three weeks of
negotiations over the use of the
facilities, which hindered
official plans to reduce the
price of the fuel.
