In response to pressure to speak regarding the recent announcements of the Mexican government regarding potential nationalization of the Mexican Eagle Petroleum Company, Royal Dutch and Shell CEO van Seelst issued this statement :
This company has invested a great deal in our Mexican infrastructure and exploration program. We believe we have an acceptable relationship with the Mexican government and people, and we treat our workers well. Wagescales are significantly above the market rates for comparable job skills.
However, we are aware that for internal reasons, foreign companies are not in favor, with the apparent exception of Standard Oil, which as always is simply to big. The listing for Shell on the London exchange has already dropped in anticipation of potential nationalizations and we have a great number of investors in England who are worried about their investment.
We shall be preparing statements reflecting the projected valuation of the Shell company and it’s future prospects, which are quite good even without the inclusion of Mexican Eagle. We continue to believe that the synergy of Royal Dutch and Shell makes for a stronger company more capable of continuing to explore and operate on a global scale.
