Following a 25 November 2013 statement by privately sponsored organisation
Global Witness, the Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation (ENRC) has issued a
response denouncing the series of "false claims, innuendo, and persecutory
propaganda."
The most recent statement from Global Witness sought to pressure MPs
specifically on ENRC during the upcoming testimony of Financial Conduct
Authority Director David Lawton. The organisation has similarly released
approximately 12 statements on its website since 2012, singling out ENRC
despite the fact that the company has been neither charged nor convicted of any
wrongdoing.
"ENRC wishes to be unambiguously clear with regard to the statements contained
in the Global Witness press release of Nov. 25: there is zero truth in the
conclusions which Global Witness has reached prematurely and without benefit of
the facts." said an ENRC company spokesperson. "It is deeply concerning that
this organisation has focused so intensely and arbitrarily on one company which
has never been proven to have committed any serious violation, while at the
same time ignoring the conduct of dozens of other mining companies. It raises
questions regarding the group’s motivations and sponsorship".
