UKEF Premier Oils comments17 Sep 2019 19:10
Looks like Premier Oil has been consulted re UKEF
'When providing support under this Principle, in order to demonstrate such support
or development, UKEF may impose additional measures, such as incentivisation
mechanisms, whereby the level of support available from UKEF will be directly
linked to current or future supply chain spend or commitments made by the
applicant to increase the benefit to the UK and UK exports. Examples of this could
include increasing future production in the UK, increasing the value or proportion of
spend in the UK supply chain in the future, or increasing the number of jobs created
in the UK in the future. '
'Eight respondents expressed their support Principle Three. No respondents
rejected the Principle. For example, Premier Oil stated:
“Principle Three is broadly drafted to bring into consideration the wider benefits of a
project. We believe that this is beneficial giving the increasingly complex nature of
international investment projects, which frequently have multiple consequences for
the UK.”
