&nd now for the "siness news. )egotiations etween &gli/er, a m"ltinational fertiliser prod"cer, and
the go%ernment of the island of ."l"miki ha%e ended. .he two sides ha%e now settled a disp"te o%er
&gli/ers cancellation of a 10.2 illion project to "ild a nitrogen plant on the so"th coast of the
island.
&gli/er had een gi%en all the necessary permits "t then stopped the project after local
people protested eca"se of possile impact on the en%ironment. .he case was seen as a test of how
friendly ."l"miki is towards foreign in%estment.
&gli/er and the ."l"miki go%ernment ha%e now agreed that ."l"mikis state3owned palm
oil processing company will ac4"ire the project thro"gh a share exchange. &gli/er shareholders will
recei%e a 563per3cent stake in the new "siness.
.he 4"ick resol"tion of the conflict is seen as a signal that ."l"miki still has a fa%o"rale
en%ironment for foreign in%estors.
