Subject: Cernavoda 2 Nuclear Power Plant project in Romania, EDC export credit approval
Dear Prime Minister Chrétien,
We are writing you to express our deep concern about the possibility that Export Development Canada (EDC) will approve $390 million ($250 million US) in financing for the completion of the second CANDU reactor of the Cernavoda Nuclear Power Plant (C2) in Romania.
The Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline project is likely to go to the World Bank Board of Directors on October 30, 2003. A review of the Environmental Impact Assessment shows it in violation of almost all of World Bank policies.
