Andererseits gelingt es trotzdem dass bei einigen Nominees u. Custodians die Orders ohne Probleme eingestellt werden können.
Die Weigerung die Orders zu routen (z.B. DAB Bank Über JPM) lässt darauf schliessen dass dort grosse Shortpositionen vorhanden sind die sich nicht ohne weiteres eindecken lassen,wenn weitere Böcke der Ausleihe durch hohe VK Orders entzogen werden.
Jeder Investierte sollte seine Bank dazu auffordern dafür zu sorgen dass seine VK Order auch effektiv im Orderbuch erscheint.Eine etwaige Weigerung sollte man sich schriftlich geben lassen mit dem Hinweis dass man sie an das Handelsblatt weiterleiten möchte da der Vorgang dort untersucht würde. ;-)))))))

Govt and ABG to meet in Sept
By Fabian Gatana
THE National Government may hold its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Bougainville come September, Bougainville Affairs Minister Steven Pirika Kama has announced in Buka yesterday.
And in September, during the National Government Supplementary Budget, it will also be the time when ABG should receive its K15 million Development Grant from the Government.
Further, the Joint Supervisory Body (JSB) meeting, the avenue for the National Government and ABG to discuss Bougainville forward, may also be held in September in Buka but after the Supplementary Budget.
Mr Kama said this at the Buka airport on arrival from Port Moresby.
He said the first JSB was held in Port Moresby and the next one should be held in Buka later this year.
JSB is the meeting where all the government departments relating to Bougainville issues and the ABG meet to discuss and iron out specific issues of development and the drawdown of powers for Bougainville. The meeting is normally chaired by the ABG president and the PNG Government Prime Minister.

Papua New Guinea's mining industry has expressed grave concerns over plans by the PNG government to revert ownership of minerals and resources to traditional landowners.
The mining industry warns that such a move will scare off investors and will be disastrous for the country's economy.
PNG's Mining Minister Byron Chan, says the government is reviewing existing laws to give ownership of minerals on, as well as under the land and seabed to the traditional owners.
Presenter: Firmin Nanol
Speaker: Byron Chan, PNG's Mining Minister; Simon Ekanda, spokesperson for PNG landowners; Greg Anderson, Executive Director of PNG's Chamber of Mines and Petroleum

NANOL: Mr Chan says PNG is an island of gold floating on a sea of oil.
But the minister says it's sad to see that resource owners are living in very poor conditions despite the relatively small population and the world class mining projects in the country.
He says by restoring ownership of minerals to the landowners, the government hopes to allow them to participate in the exploitation of their resources and improve their livelihoods.
Minister Byron Chan says this will be a win-win situation for the landowners and potential investors in PNG's mining and petroleum sectors.
He says currently provincial governments, landowners and people from resource project areas are either left out of the negotiation and participation processes or lose out on long term benefits.
Minister Chan says under the proposed legislative changes the government will be a regulator, and not investor and regulator as is the case now.
CHAN: The law which states that the state owns everything six foot under, both on land and sea. We'd like to replace that possibly almost immediately to revert the ownership back to the landowners and relinquish the state from owning anything from six foot below land and sea, that's what we're looking into right now.
NANOL: That is a big legislative, that will throw things into chaos, isn't it?
CHAN: No, what we are proposing would not affect existing licences. We're proposing amendments that will look into future licences etc. The current agreement won't be affected. All of these things are currently being undertaken now by the department, so that there won't be chaos and the landowners will have more relationship with mining companies themselves, government stands as the regulator.
NANOL: Some groups of landowners are supportive of the proposed changes to give ownership of minerals and resources back to them.
Simon Ekanda is a spokesperson for landowners from villages surrounding PNG's multi-billion dollar PNG LNG gas project in the PNG highlands.
He says it's about time ownership of mineral resources is given back to landowners.
EKANDA: We own what was underneath and on top and above and Constitution recognises the customary law and the customary law, the landowners get rights to own what was underneath and on top and above. So we already own it and you see how this country can move the next five years when this law has been changed and people will have money in their pocket. Now the government has taken away that right. That is a beggars in this country.
NANOL: But PNG's Mining industry has expressed grave concerns about the proposed change of the mining laws and the ownership of minerals on and under the land.
The Chamber of Mines and Petroleum says it's a mistake for the government to give back ownership to the landowners, who have no capital and investment skills.
Executive Director, Greg Anderson says it will scare off investors and will not want to work in PNG.
ANDERSON: That is of great concern to us because you have to have central government control on issuing leases and an organised system. If we tried to deal with landowners on exploration titles, I think it's just going to be a nightmare. But there's many questions that arise with that. If the landowners own the resource and they're going to be shareholders in the project, whose going to pay for it? Where's the money going to come from? What's going to happen to royalty? How can you run a dual system and implementation will mean you've got to revise the whole mining act, which is a major task and will be of great disruption to industry in the meantime. So it is a serious issue.
NANOL: That changes of the ownership and the legal framework would only look at the new or ones that could be explored and mined later in the future, not existing ones?
ANDERSON: That means you're going to have a dual system in the country and I think it's extremely naive, because the government made a statement that they wanted to remove all the landowner problems and do you think the Engans and the Hulis and everybody else is going to be satisfied with one system for them and one system for all the new projects. I don't think it's going to work. And if you've got a policy that's completely ill defined, uncertain, nobody's going to invest on something that's uncertain and you'll scare off the explorers like you wouldn't believe. So I've got to talk it through with the government exactly what they mean, but we do not like the principle this issue of private ownership, because I don't think it's workable in Papua New Guinea.
NANOL: That was Greg Anderson, Executive Director of PNG's Chamber of Mines and Petroleum.
But the PNG Mining Minister Byron Chan, says the government plans to have the changes to the mineral ownership and mining laws ready and put to parliament to pass into law before the 2012 general elections.

Frankfurt (BoerseGo.de) – Die Metallpreise verbuchen aktuell angesichts der massiven Verluste bei Aktien und anderen Rohstoffen, wie dem Rohöl, vergleichsweise geringe Verluste.
„Im Falle von Kupfer und Aluminium könnte dies auf ein gestiegenes Kaufinteresse aus China zurückzuführen sein. Marktbeobachtern zufolge hat das Reich der Mitte den Preisrückgang seit Monatsbeginn bereits ausgenutzt, und in Erwartung eines globalen Angebotsdefizits insbesondere Kupfer gekauft. Dies dürfte sich in den kommenden Monaten in höheren Importen widerspiegeln“, schreiben die Rohstoffexperten der Commerzbank in ihrem heutigen „TagesInfo Rohstoffe“.
Gegen 13:15 Uhr MESZ notiert Kupfer bei 8.793,00 USD je Tonne. Im niedrigen 8.700er-USD-Bereich zeigte sich Kupfer zuletzt gut unterstützt. Hält die Marke von 8.711,00 USD nicht, findet sich die nächste Unterstützung am Tief vom 12. Mai bei 8.536,00 USD.

THE Bougainville Government peace team is hoping to meet with south Bougainville Me’ekamui rebel hardliner Damien Koike in Tonu next week.
The ABG Peace team told the Post-Courier on Wednesday that they have made a decision to bring traditional shell money and two pigs and food from the villages to Koike, to meet and reconcile with him specifically to find a lasting way for peace within the Konnou area.
Veterans Affairs Minister David Sisito will be leading his delegation to meet with Koike, who is seeking refuge in Tonu, south Bougainville, together with his peace mission team.
The two peace teams are stationed in Arawa and travel in between Buka, Arawa and Buin.
About K500,000 was allocated for the peace mission in Tonu and the operation to sort out the mess in Buin, Konnou in south Bougainville was scheduled for three weeks, it has now been extended to three months.
“We are trying our best to come up with a solution for the people of south Bougainville, specifically the Konnou area and we believe strongly that we will achieve our goals of bringing peace back into Konnou,” the peace team executives said.
“Yes, there are killings, there are guns still being used and innocent lives terrorised, women, children and youths affected and most importantly the service delivery mechanism is not effective in the area because of the infighting.”
Over the weekend, two people were killed, one WILMO, a government instituted organisation and one from the Me’ekamui.
On Monday, there was still gun battle among these factions and while this is happening, Koike is seeking refuge in Tonu, Siwai area of south Bougainville which is the home of U-Vistract conman Noah Musingku.
From the Konnou boys in Buin and Tonu, they could not comment on the whole issue but only said: “There is no way to peace … peace is the way,” they said.
The ABG is adamant the issue will be sorted out before three months is up by the end of this month on August 30.

Contractors crying foul in Bougainville
SERVICE providers on Bougainville are crying foul over the amount of money the Autonomous Bougainville Government, its administration and the National Government owe them.
It is estimated that the ABG and its administration owe service providers in Buka town including Arawa almost K3 million.
Local contractors, hoteliers, guest houses, shipping companies, hire cars, local fuel companies, shop owners and other companies said they sympathise with the ABG for struggling to pay their dues. Outside of Bougainville, several tertiary institutions and colleges have also advised the ABG that they still needed to pay their outstanding fees for Bougainville students under the school fee assistance scheme.
This week, the ABG Peace Ministry has admitted they were facing major financial constraints to sustain the peace building initiative within the region.
A wholesaler told the Post-Courier yesterday that the ABG still owes them more than K100,000 for food supplies purchased on credit during a disaster-stricken period two years ago, which had accumulated till now.
Another, a shipping company this week complained that they could not set sail to the Atolls to serve the people and provide their service there because the ABG still needs to pay them their dues – more than K150,000.
A hotel claims the ABG and its administration still owes them almost K300,000 for services dating back several years.
The ABG yesterday advised that it was still waiting for K15 million from the National Government.
It said it symphatised with the service providers and blamed the National Government for not honouring its commitment of releasing funds so it could pay its dues.

The Bougainville Autonomous Government will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of the signing of the peace agreement on August 30 this year.
To commemorate the occasion, a high level delegation from the United Nations is due in Bougainville this month to see how far the Autonomous Government has gone after the Peace Agreement was signed. Also expected is a big media team from around the globe to cover this event. The UN delegation will visit Bougainville again after their exit under the UN Observer Mission On Bougainville (UNOMB) in 2005. They were heavily involved in the Weapons Disposal program and other peace operations.
Anthony Agyenta, UN head in Bougainville, told the Post-Courier that the advance team is already in PNG but the rest of them should arrive in two weeks time. He said the UN team will be coming back to engage with PNG, ABG and the civil society in furthering the peace mission on the island but specifically to see the progress and challenges Bougainville has endured and effectively addressed 10 years ago, since the BPA was signed on August 30, 2011.
“UN is hoping the whole of Bougainville and its leadership take August and September as the month of prayer and reflection, but it is not happening,” Mr Agyenta said. “We are organising the civil society to progressively address this and make these months as we see it. When the UN team arrives in the region this month, we should also be talking about re-deploying a team to Bougainville to specifically help with the progress and challenges Bougainville is facing.”
A peace walk is also being organised to start on August 23 through to 27 and is aimed at involving members of the ABG and youths.

Miners in shock as PNG plans to put landowners in charge of resources
The proposal by Mining Minister Byron Chan, the son of former prime minister Sir Julius Chan, has been tabled just as PNG -- which is often described as an island of gold in a sea of oil surrounded by gas is entering a massive resources boom.
The industry, which employs 30,000 people, provides 80 per cent of PNG's export earnings and is sending annual economic growth soaring, up to 9.7 per cent of gross domestic product last year and 11 per cent expected in 2011.
But analysts say any move to change the rules could derail the mining boom, which has led to most big mining companies in Australia move back into PNG in the past few years.
"This was totally unexpected, and is especially explosive in election year, with landowner groups expected to cheer and push for renegotiation even of existing projects," one analyst said.
Several planned LNG projects would also be affected.
Greg Anderson, executive director of the PNG Chamber of Mines and Petroleum, yesterday told The Australian: "This is playing with fire." He has sought an urgent meeting with Prime Minister Peter O'Neill, who took office two weeks ago, to hand a letter of concern signed by the leading players in the industry.
Mr Anderson said the industry would consider an advertising campaign against the bill, which he described as driven by "short-term populism and regionalism".
Those operating or exploring in PNG comprise many of Australia's, and the world's, top mining and oil companies, including Oil Search, Santos, BHP-Billiton, Rio Tinto, Newcrest, Xstrata Copper, Barrick, Harmony, Newmont, Vale, Nautilus Minerals, Allied Gold, Highlands Pacific, China's MCC, Marengo, New Guinea Gold, Petromin, ExxonMobil, Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Talisman, Sasol, Nippon Oil and InterOil.
Several of the companies approached by the The Australian declined to comment on the record, but all expressed concern at any change to existing laws.
A resources executive in PNG said the move would "increase sovereign risk and damage investor confidence".
A spokeswoman for Newmont pointed to a speech by Mr O'Neill last week, in which he said: "My government will give prominent attention to fast-tracking outstanding mining projects."
>>>>>>> .....Mr Chan told Radio Australia: "The law says that the state owns everything six foot under, both on land and under the sea.
"We'd like to change that, possibly almost immediately, to revert the ownership back to the landowners, and relinquish the state from owning anything."........<<<<<<<<
He said "the landowners will have more (direct) relationships with mining companies themselves, with the government standing as the regulator".
Two years ago, Mr Chan and his father Sir Julius strongly supported a private member's bill that sought a similar change.
The chamber of mines wrote to every MP strongly opposing it.
But the then government, led by Sir Michael Somare, disregarded the bill and it failed. Today, Mr Chan has the ministry, and the government has a sufficient parliamentary majority (Mr O'Neill won office by 70 votes to 24) to secure the votes needed to change the constitution.
The new government has previously enjoyed a comparatively calm transition, even though it will continue to face a legal challenge over the process.
Now, however, it is confronted by its first serious challenge. It is a massive one, and it comes from within.
Mr Chan's plan to give all resources wealth to the landowners will prove incendiary in the context of this campaign, unless Mr O'Neill steps in quickly.
Mr Anderson said that although Mr Chan claimed his proposal would not affect existing operations, it would be difficult to prevent landowners also claiming ownership. "How can you run a dual system?"Mr Anderson asked. "The present system works well, he said, and will continue to do so" as long as the national government has control over titles.
Wenn das ernst gemeint ist, >>>>>>We'd like to change that, possibly almost immediately, to revert the ownership back to the landowners, and relinquish the state from owning anything.<<<<<<<<<<< könnte doch die neue Administration von PNG, mit einer schnellen Umsetzung der Versprechen ( + Auszahlung der zugesagten Gelder) für Bougainville ein positives Zeichen setzen oder besteht da sogar ein Zusammenhang ?

THE AUTONOMOUS PROVINCE of Bougainville hopes to resolve a long standing impasse in the south of the main island by taking the traditional Melanesian approach of reconciliation.
Despite six years of autonomy, few government services are available around the district of Konnou because the security of workers can’t be guaranteed.
Former civil war combatants, led by Damian Koike, have been blamed for the crime and violence, which has claimed many lives. President John Momis wants face-to-face talks with Mr Koike, who he says is concerned he could face arrest at such an event. Mr Momis says to have a permanent peace the government will need to take a traditional Melanesian restorative justice approach.
Restorative justice focuses on the needs of victims, offenders and the involved community instead of satisfying abstract legal principles or punishing the offender.
“To assist him to pay compensation, and vice versa, because there are people on the other side who have, in fact, dealt death blows to people on Koike’s side,” Mr Momis said. “It’s a complicated situation and we are just trying to get to the bottom of it and work out a mutually acceptable peace arrangement.”

THEY WERE GREAT MEN. Francis Ona and Joseph Kabui. But these two great leaders from Central Bougainville died without seeing Bougainville become an independent island nation.
Back in those years when they were divided, the late Francis Ona formed the Meekamui government and the late Joseph Kabui the Bougainville People’s Congress and they never talked to each other face to face. Ona’s followers said that with Ona as leader, Bougainville will be an independent nation while Kabui’s followers said no.
Now, as they are both gone, only their names, mean something to the Kieta and Central Bougainville people. Their first names were Christian; their second names were in the Kieta language.
Ona means change. His loyal followers know that another Ona will emerge as the name suggests and will lead them to the promised land. Kabui means grows. When you cut a coconut tree, after a few months it will put forth buds. Another Kabui will grow up soon.
Ona’s death, they said, was from suspected malaria; while Kabui died from a suspected heart attack. In biblical times, nor did Moses the greatest leader see the Promised Land.
A couple of years ago we got a copy of the names of 50 Bougainvilleans who were on a death list starting with Ona, Kabui, Kaouna, Ishmael and Chris Uma. The list went on. A supporter asked me after the news of Kabui’s death, is the death list still active even though there is peace on the island?
Just before Kabui’s death, he was under too much pressure from within the Autonomous Government and from other Bougainvilleans as well as Papua New Guineans.
Two days after he passed away, a PNG diplomat was telling me it was a good thing Kabui passed before he included PNG in the Invincible* deal, because the deal died with him. Joseph Kabui did the deal in the best interests of every single Bougainvillean.
I believe the deaths of the two great leaders was not natural but involved foul play. However, as their names say, there will be great new leaders who will come up to lead the children of Bougainville towards the freedom for which they been crying so long.
Long live Mekamui, Bougainville.
Reposted from Mekamui Wordpress for PNG Attitude by Leonard Fong Roka
* The late President Joseph Kabui had approved a deal with Invincible Resources to acquire 70% of Bougainville’s lucrative mining rights. But the move was unpopular with some Bougainvilleans, with one MP saying it could spark another civil war - KJ

UN marks 10th anniversary of Bougainville Peace Accords

PRESS RELEASE
UN marks 10th anniversary of Bougainville Peace Accords with ‘Empowering youth: village by village’ trek
Port Moresby, Monday 22 August, 2011
Tuesday 30 August, 2011 marks the 10th anniversary of the Bougainville Peace Accords. The United Nations, which played an integral part in the peace process and peacebuilding efforts, will mark the occasion by conducting a cross-island trek entitled:
Bougainville Walk for Peace, Numa 2011 Empowering youth: village by village
On Thursday 25 August, a UN team, including the UN Resident Coordinator, David McLachlan-Karr, will launch the first Bougainville Walk for Peace at the Numa Numa track. The track runs east to west and starts just south of Wakunai, crosses over the Crown Prince Range and finishes at Torokina Beach. The team plans to return to Buka on Sunday 28 August.
On Thursday, before the team embarks on the trek near Wakunai, ABG officials, including ABG President Momis, will show their solidarity by joining with the UN team on a Bougainville Walk for Peace in Buka.
While many challenges still face Bougainville, one of its most immediate is that of its so-called ‘lost generation’ – those young people who have failed to receive the basic education and employment opportunities during the crisis years.
It is with this in mind, that thirty youths from the various villages along the track have been trained as guides. Each guide will lead the group from their village to the next, before passing over the lead to the next guide. Youth from each of the three regions of Bougainville will also join the trek. Along the way, the UN delegation hopes to engage with the youths and their families and learn about their hopes for the future and the challenges they are facing today.
The lessons learned will then be brought back to a Youth Forum to be held in Arawa from 29 August to 2 September.
The ‘Empowering youth: village by village’ trek aims to raise awareness around the ‘lost generation’ and encourage youth in PNG and around the world to support peace in the region. With celebrations around the world marking International Youth Day in UN House, Level 14, Deloitte Tower, Douglas Street, Port Moresby
2 August, this is an opportune time to look towards Bougainville’s future and the young people who will one day lead their people. The UN also hopes to raise the profile of ecotourism in Bougainville – a vital element to the reinvigoration of the region and a return to a thriving economy. We encourage all media to attend the launch of the track, where there will be opportunities for comment and photos. We welcome further interaction with the media around this initiative and ask you to contact the UN Resident Coordinator’s

Oamaru in North Otago has been a backdrop for the past four days for the filming of a movie adaptation of the novel Mr Pip by Lloyd Jones.
The novel is set in the Pacific Island of Bougainville, where a teenage girl becomes entranced with the world of Dickens as she imagines it.
Producer Robin Scholes says Oamaru was chosen to conjure Victorian London meeting the Pacific, using the look and colour of the town's beautiful stonework.
The Victorian quarter has already been the backdrop for a number of productions including The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and a series of AMI insurance ads.
Oamaru Whitestone Civic Trust chair Phil Hope says he has learnt to be flexible and trust the crews to restore the area completely afterwards.
However, this shoot was delayed by three days by last week's snow storm.
After filming in Bougainville with all its problems of security and logistics, Ms Scholes (Once Were Warriors) says this was meant to be the easy bit.
Mr Pip will debut at Cannes Film Festival in May next year.

The United Nations representative in Papua New Guinea is optimistic it can help mediate and reconcile factions in the troubled south of Bougainville.
The president of the autonomous province John Momis has said he hopes a traditional Melanesian approach will solve the impasse after earlier suggesting the need for UN peacekeepers to return.
The UN’s David McLachlan-Kerr says the deployment of such a force isn’t likely and the UN can assist by drawing on a decade of experience reconciling factions in other parts of Bougainville.
“It often involves the exchange of valuable items, pigs and shells and money but these things are necessary and they’re part of Melanesian culture. We hope to use the expertise that we’ve developed to bring similar types of exercises to the people of the south.”
