SP accuses Berisha for corruption

Brace mentioned the oil concession, that of Bankers Petroleum and Stream Oil, which increased their stock market values due to their exclusive oil exploitation in Albania. According to him, this company has not paid VAT.

“In the first six months of this year, the Bankers Petroleum Company has profited 154 million USD in the oil fields that they are using, while Stream Oil 6.5 million USD. What has Albania benefited from this? This is the decree that this gentleman has issued as President in 1995, and it says that the VAT for the companies that operate in the oil sector is 50%. I publicly challenge him to come and show us the VAT paid by Stream Oil in the last years. How much has Bankers Petroleum paid? If he continues avoiding it, as he has done until now, by showing the Albanians the 100.000 ALL (100 USD) that they receive each month, I will tell you that this taxation has been zero! Because this decree that holds his signature has not been implemented by his administration”, Brace declared.

Prime Minister Berisha declared that his government has turned the Albanian citizens in owners. During this interpellation, he defended the concessions.

“You have tried to throw mud on the concessions that shine in the history of concessions for Europe and the entire world. As never before, I have signed in only three years, the agreements for 220 hydropower plants. You can establish a commission and check them one by one. Compare them with the laws, if there have been violations. Don’t think that the war for political motives brings any result”, Berisha declared.

Speaking about the chrome concession, Brace declared that the ACR Company, which profits 2430 EUR from each miner, for every single day, pays these miners with only 10 EUR.

For the chrome resources there are 268 permissions that according to him are withheld by the chrome mafia. The Prime Minister replied by removing Brace from the podium, whose time had finished.

The Prime Minister did not reply to the concrete accusations of MP Brace, but mentioned the economic balance of the government, the increase of foreign investments, exports and revenues.
