BOUGAINVILLLE Affairs Min-ister Fidelis Semoso arrived in Bougainville over the weekend with good news and pledging total support to the Autonomous Bougainville Government President John Momis.
In response to President Momis’ outburst on the cancellation of the Joint Supervisory Body (JSB) meeting last week and blaming Mr Semoso for not having the courtesy to advise the ABG team who were left wondering, an irate Semoso said it was not his fault.
He said that the JSB meeting to be held between the National Government and the ABG was cancelled because the ABG technical team were not ready with the agendas and other documentations. He said that he had advised the acting administrator Patrick Koles and National Co-ordinating Office of Bougainville Affairs director Ellison ToWalom.
Mr Momis blasted Mr Semoso for not having the courtesy to advise him and his Cabinet members that the special meeting between the ABG and the National Government was cancelled. Mr Momis was also disappointed that he was told the meeting would be in the afternoon last week, but no-one, even the Bougainville Affairs office in Port Moresby, had the courtesy to advise them before leaving for Port Moresby. President Momis was advised later that Mr Semoso was in Kokopo. “I come home with a good heart. And I come home with nothing except support for President Momis because I openly campaigned for the people of Bougainville to vote for Momis and I financed his campaigns,” Semoso said.
“I am now the Minister for Bougainville Affairs, whether they like it or not, but I don’t have time to play petty politics. Bougainville does not have time to play politics. We need all the time in the world to develop and move Bougainville forward. We don’t have time anymore. We must strictly comply with and we must strictly adhere to the Bougainville Peace Agreement.”
Mr Semoso also announced that the ABG would get its controversial K15 million in November’s Supplementary Budget. And if Bougainville is lucky, an extra K15 million may be granted, as agreed in principle by key National Government ministers. This is the reason why Mr Semoso got off in Kokopo, East New Britain to secure the funding by speaking direct with Planning Minister Paul Tiensten and State and Enterprise Minister Arthur Somare who were there – adding to the alleged delay and cancellation of the special JSB meeting which has now been put forward to this Thursday. Mr Semoso announced at the press conference at the Buka airport on Saturday that he would be in Port Moresby today.
Die Panguna Mine bedeutet erhebliche Steuereinnahmen.
Diese Gelder will PNG wie bis zur Schließung für sich nehmen.
Zusätzlich gilt :
Eine ehrliche Regierung in Bougainville bedeutet, dass Bougainville wirtschaftlich PNG überholen würde. Das muß PNG zumindest bis zu den Wahlen in 2012 verhindern, da es den Bürgern in PNG zusätzlich zeigt, daß in PNG Teile der politischen Führung korrupt sind.
Wie geht es weiter ?
Das wird vor Ort entschieden. Wir können es hier nur beobachten.
Morgen beginnt das JSB Meeting wieder ;-)))))))))
Bleibt zu hoffen dass diesmal die Hausaufgaben gemacht sind.
@Alpha
Es ist nicht so dass Bougainville als Bittsteller beim JSB Meeting auftritt.Hier werden nur Punkte abgearbeitet,die seit dem Friedensvertrag von 1998 beschlossene Sache sind.
PNG kann dabei zwar ein bischen verzögern,verhindern können sie die Uebergabe aber letztlich nicht. ;-)))
Wenn PNG und das ABG ihre "Hausaufgaben" in den letzten 14 Tagen zur vollsten Zufriedenheit aller erledigt haben/hätten so könnte man vom JSB Meeting folgende Resultate erwarten
-Aufhebung des Miningmoratoriums
-Uebertragung der Miningpower von PNG ans ABG
-Uebertragung des 19% Anteils an BCL von PNG an Bougainville (oder eines Teils davon)
-Go fuer die Verhandlungen zu einem neuen BCA
-Ueberweisung der noch ausstehenden 15 Mill Kina von PNG ans ABG (mit einem Teil der Summe soll den Meekamuis das "Weapons disposal" schmackhaft gemacht werden.
- Im Anschluss daran: Einladung des ABG an BCL die Mine zu besichtigen
-Ueberweisung der für 88-89 noch ausstehenden Royaltys von BCL an die Panguna Landowners
-Offizielle Uebergabe der Pangunamine an BCL
So langsam tritt die BCL Spekulation in ihre heisse Phase.Aktuell wechseln die Shares in die Hände von Investoren,welche das BCL Potential im Falle der Wiedereröffnung bietet
erkannt haben.
gruß
Auf jeden Fall rührt sich was und das allein ist schon Positiv zu werten nach 20 Jahren quasi Stillstand...
Grundsätzlich sind die Mekamui auch für ein Reopening der Mine. Es gibt nur wenige Ausnahmen, die aber entweder nicht auf Bougainville leben (wie der Sprecher der Mekamui) oder die Frauenlandownergruppe, die stark von Gruppierungen aus Australien beeinflusst werden.
Die einzige Bedingung für eine Zustimmung ist, dass Bougainville zuerst die Unabhängigkeit von PNG erreichen muss. Grund dafür ist das große Misstrauen, das die Mekamui der PNG-Regierung gegenüber haben. Sie befürchten einfach, dass wenn die Mine vor der Unabhängigkeit eröffnet wird, evtl. gemachte Zusagen von PNG nicht eingehalten werden und die Bevölkerung von Bougainville wieder über den Tisch gezogen wird.
Einer der wichtigsten Punkte des JSB ist meiner Meinung nach deshalb die Übertragung der Mining Power und der Aktien auf das ABG. Dann kann Momis gegenüber den Mekamui damit argumentieren, dass das ABG in Sachen Mining unabhängig von PNG ist und dass Panguna (Mit)-Eigentum der Bürger Bougainvilles ist.

Oder ist die komplette Übertragung der Aktien unumstößlich?

Das Wichtigste aus dem Artikel.
Delayed opening of copper
Starting June, three-month copper gained $1,400 to $7,400 a tonne and then lost some ground. But operators must react to the disturbing news about the fall in factory index in the US and also rise in claims for jobless benefits. The US is the world’s second largest user of copper after China.
If the experts are still of the opinion that the red metal will first climb to $9,000 a tonne within a year and then progressively approach $10,000 a tonne, it is because the fundamentals like copper production targets are missed regularly and stocks with both London Metal Exchange and Shanghai Exchange falling are supportive of copper. The copper ore quality may be falling, warehouse stocks declining and the underlying demand remaining strong despite hiccups in the world economy, but because of the inordinately long time taken in opening new mines, there is no way supply can be stepped up quickly.
No doubt supply side would have been in better shape had not weak copper prices in the past discouraged investment in new mines development.
There cannot be a more affirmative confirmation of the very positive outlook for copper than what the CEO of Rio Tinto Tom Albanese says; “Copper is the only metal I see where prices in the intermediate and long term are well above the marginal cost of production.”
Even while Rio is counted among the world’s four leading producers of the metal, Albanese laments the fact that he did not have more copper to sell in this year’s first half. This pining for more of the red metal could see Rio pushing Bougainville Copper, of which it is the majority owner, to reopen Papua New Guinea’s Panguna mine, one of the world’s largest deposits but closed since 1989
Miningpower soll laut Friedensvertrag von 98 an Boug übertragen werden (etwas schwammig formuliert "wenn Boug. dazu bereit ist")
Nach der Implementierung der von der Weltbank mit 16 Mill. USD finanzierten B' viller MRA (Mineral Resources Authority) sollte das jetzt der Fall sein.
Das Mining Moratorium (no more mines on Bougainville) sollte zum gleichen Zeitpunkt gecancelt werden und es B' ville dann erlauben darüber selbst zu entscheiden.
Lawrence geht davon aus dass das beim jetzigen JSB Meeting der Fall sein wird.
Die Uebertragung der BCL Shares wurde schon von Somare in 07 anlässlich eines Besuchs in Buka zugesagt. Wann die Uebertragung stattfindet ist offen bzw. Verhandlungssache, spätestens jedoch bei der "Independence".
Die 76.5 Mill BCL Shares wurden von PNG 1969 mit einem Kredit von 25 Mill. Kina erworben

"Both governments have signed a 15-step memorandum of understanding to hand over mining powers, lifting a moratorium on mining aimed at helping the impoverished island, according to an official at the office of Papua New Guinea Deputy Prime Minister and Mining Minister Puka Temu."

Cairns comes knocking
PAPUA New Guinea’s most northern Australian neighbouring city Cairns, is preparing to grab millions of dollars in business opportunities from PNG’s lucrative mining and petroleum sectors.
The city has just launched The Cairns Prospectus that will serve as a blueprint for securing opportunities in the country.
According to the Cairns Post, a trade mission of Cairns business representatives will leave for PNG in November, armed with a document released by Advance Cairns.
The Cairns Post reported that a (Queensland) State Gover-nment-funded representative has started knocking on the doors of businesses in Cairns and in Port Moresby, attempting to match PNG trade opportunities with Cairns businesses.
And a Perth-based mining company with links to PNG is also reportedly close to establishing a site office in Cairns.
Advance Cairns chief executive Ross Contarino urged Cairns businesses to “grab the opportunities with both hands”, saying various “jigsaws” were now coming together to help their region diversify with new opportunities.

Rebuilding lives
By PETER KORUGL
Michael Tane goes around Arawa town today on his bicycle, greeting everyone cheerfully and he is happy with the world.
He should be happy for peace has returned to his land and town after the 13-year conflict that saw thousands of people die.
As he pedals his push bike around the streets, his eyes take in the metal frames or giant concrete structures that are still left standing and he is reminded of the bloody conflict that raged throughout this town and throughout the Autonomous Region of Bougainville.
Every now and then, his fingers would move to his head to feel the scar left there from a bullet fired by a gun held by a member of the Bougainville Revolutionary Army (BRA) at the height of the crisis.
“I am one of the lucky ones. The gun had only one bullet. The rest of the BRA unit had no bullets too,” Michael said, and a broad grin lights up his dark face.
Michael is married to a non- Bougainvillean woman and like everyone else in similar relationships, he was targeted by the BRA.
“They suspected us of being spies for the PNG Defence Force and they hunted and killed anyone they caught.
“I wanted to run so I decided to send my family members out of Bougainville but they refused to go.
“They told me their place is here, with me and we will die with you,” so we stayed.
“One day they came into our village and took me.
“They sat me down in front of my family and put the gun to my head. Just when I thought my captor was going to squeeze the trigger, I hit the barrel of the gun upwards with my hand.
“The sudden movement must have surprised the man for he fired but the bullet flew past my head. It scratched my skin and I was bleeding from the wound,” Michael recalled.
He said they took them to another camp where they were held captive for two weeks and then released.
“The BRA commander in that camp knew me. After two weeks he allowed us to go,” he said.
Michael has a daughter who is now employed and he has found a job at the Kieta wharf.
With the money he brings home, his family is starting to slowly rebuild their scattered lives.
Michael’s story is synonymous with what is happening in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville - nine years down the road since the crisis ended.
Everywhere the villagers are rebuilding homes and lives shattered by the crisis even though there is distrust among certain sections in communities in the region.
“Shops are opening up among the ruins in Arawa. Business activities are picking up. People are going back to the cocoa and copra, coffee is being introduced and the people are responding to it well.
“And there are non-governmental and donor organisations working hard with the people,” Tarcisisus Karuai, a local businessman added.
While there is hope for many, there are many people who are still traumatised from the experience in places where the fighting was heavy.
Then there are many young people who lived through the crisis without going to school and are now expected to catch up with the others.
There is still more work to be done.

Appointment not proper
By GORETHY KENNETH
THE Department of Personnel Management in Port Moresby yesterday advised the process for the appointment of the chief administrator was still being carried out, therefore the announcement of the new head was improper.
But DPM also advised that because the issue of the appointment of the chief administrator for Bougainville was sensitive, they did not want to get themselves involved in the controversy. Officials advised they would seek explanation and clarification from the Autonomous Bougainville Government. This was because the chief administrator is the National Government representative on the ground and the National Executive Council will have to recommend to the ABG, which will then approve and Cabinet will announce the appointment. Yesterday DPM officials also explained that last year, out of the official list submitted, containing names such as Kapeatu Puaria, Dr Rodney Kameata, Damien Rapese and Lawrence Dising to name a few, NEC made a recommendation to the last ABG House of Representative but the choice was rejected. That’s why they had to get back to the drawing board to re-advertise the position. Last week ABG provincial executive council chairman and President John Momis said a new administrator had been appointed and would take office on September 1.
A press release was issued to news organsations regarding the appointment of Lawrence Dising as the new administrator. But Bougainville Affairs Minister Fidelis Semoso said this had to be discussed first.
Falls sich herausstellen sollte, dass dieser Stillstand in diesen Hauptpunkten weiter anhalten wird, dürfte sich dies wieder mal sehr nachteilig auf den Kurs auswirken und würde für die Zukunft natürlich, was etwaige Investoren betrifft, weitere verbrannte Erde hinterlassen
Fidelis Semoso ist ein B' viller.
Laut Aussage von Lawrence sind die Landeigner schon längst bereit ihre Vertretung zu wählen u. das MRA hat alles zur Wahl vorbereitet.Gewartet wird nur noch auf das "Go" von Präsident Momis.
M.M. nach will dieser erst Nägel mit Köpfen machen,ganz nach dem Motto "Viele Köche verderben den Brei" und den Landeignern bei den Verhandlungen lediglich eine Statistenrolle zugestehen.Meine These wird auch durch diese Aussage unterstützt.
"Once the National Government delegates mining powers to the ABG his inputs
will be is very crucial in the New BCA.
Since Mr Oni is the duly elected member from Ioro he has a legitimate
mandate from landowners and he could appoint an advisory council of
landowners comprising the 1989 Old PLA and New PLA bodies. The need for
landowner elections will not be so urgent in that case as long as the New
BCA is approved by the general body of landowners in Mining Forum meetings
of the 6 landowner groups. You might wish to work on this idea which will
save the time having to wait for elections of the six landowner bodies.
Those elections could still take place later."
310810SEMOSO ON BUSINESS
By Aloysius Laukai
The Regional member for Bougainville and Minister for Bougainville Affairs, FIDELIS SEMOSO today called on the ABG to quickly implement its policy on Economic Development for Bougainville.
He says that the ABG needs to police its Investment Policy to make sure investments on Bougainville is based on this policy.
The Regional member said that he was very concerned at the influx of foreigners and conducting business reserved for the local Bougainvilleans.
MR. SEMOSO said that Investors are welcomed into Bougainville if they are to invest on projects that cannot be done by Bougainvilleans.
Such as Mining, Fisheries, agricultural projects and not canteens and foodbars.
He said that the screening committee must do its work to control unnecessary people coming into Bougainville.
MR. SEMOSO said he supported President Momis’s Investment Policy not allowing any stand alone projects on Bougainville.
He said all Business activities must have Bougainvilleans interest.
The Minister said that all Papua New Guinean owned businesses must be prepared to give some shares to Bougainvillean companies when the time comes.
MR. SEMOSO said that he would be physically visiting Business Houses in Buka and Kokopau this week.

als langjähriger BOU-Kenner vor und ein wenig hinter den Kulissen und als langjähriger BOU-Aktionär bekommt man den Eindruck, die Zündschnurr brennt… und der BOU-Kurs macht jeden Augenblick BUUUMMMMM
wird wohl ein schöner Herbst 2010…

verspricht 6% Rendite - allerdings vor Steuern und in US Dollar und AA oder sogar AAA kann es bestimmt auch geratet werden.
Keine Empfehlung, obwohl : "... institutional investors bought them like crazy..."
Ich vertraue allerdings lieber PNG, Somare, Semoso, Momis, den Mekamui und Bougainville - nur so ein Bauchgefühl...
