What can you do for transparency this Valentine's Day? USA version
February 14, 2012 - 17:17
In 2010, the US passed the Dodd-Frank Act which contained a ground breaking provision for transparency. Section 1504 of the Act – also known as the Cardin-Lugar amendment- obliges oil, gas and mining companies to publish what they pay to each country where they operate. But this law, which would help lift millions out of poverty, finds itself under threat as oil, gas and mining companies lobby hard against it and have even threatened to sue the SEC if it publishes strong rules for the provision.
Tell big oil companies: it’s time to come clean.
