“La Caixa de Pensions” del Predident de la Presidencia
“La Caixa” del Predident de la Presidencia.-El darrer informe
mensual del servei d'estudis de “La Caixa“, l'augment de la població exercirà “una” pressió sobre la despesa pública en Pensions, sanitat i polítiques. “Sense canvis en les actuals polítiques, tot i que gradualment, l'impacte en la despesa pública serà significatiu“, s'explica en l'informe. Entre els canvis proposats hi ha «plantejar modificacions en el sistema de Pensions (La Caixa de Pensions) que contribueixin a reduir la despesa a llarg termini com tenir en compte tota la vida laboral per calcular les pensions“ que paga la “Caixa“. Es troba “factible” endarrerir l'edat de jubilación “arran de l'augment de l'esperança de vida i el nivell de salut. A més, aquest canvi es podria aplicar de manera gradual perquè fos políticament acceptable“, vaselina. Es proposa endarrerir en sis setmanes la jubilació cada any (fins als 65 anys i sis setmanes el 2008, 65 anys i 12 setmanes el 2009...), de manera que l'any 2050 l'edat arribaria als 70 anys i la població en edat de jubilació s'hauria reduït en un 20% en aquest exercici. A l'àrea de sanitat, “la Caixa de Pensions” proposa el Copagament de la sanitat per part de l'usuari com a font de finançament de la “Caixa”A més, recorda que seria lògic plantejar-se una millora del tractament fiscal per a la “Caixa de Pensions“. Les coses de la Caixa de pensions. Les "Pensions del IBEX 35".

Dos ‘contratos del siglo’ en México han sido el mejor bálsamo para las grandes corporaciones energéticas de La Caixa -Repsol y Gas Natural- contra el fracaso en la oferta pública de adquisición de acciones (opa) sobre Endesa. Repsol YPF y su filial Gas Natural -en la que controla el 24,2% del capital según datos del regulador de Bolsa, CNMV- se han convertido en dos de los mayores activos españoles en un país que es la antesala del mercado norteamericano.
Fue el 19 de septiembre de 2007 cuando el presidente de México, Felipe Calderón, anunció que se había adjudicado a la “empresa peruana” Repsol el contrato de suministro de gas natural licuado para la planta regasificadora de Manzanillo, en la costa del pacífico, por 15.000 millones de dólares. Que calificara a Repsol de peruana no fue un ‘lapsus linguae’, sino la constatación de que la empresa abastecerá a México a través de su explotación de Camisea, en el sur del Perú. El contrato prevé que el grupo español abastezca durante 15 años a la república mexicana con hasta 500 millones de pies cúbicos de gas licuado a través de un gasoducto, una planta y una terminal de carga que estarán operativas en 2010.
El acuerdo parece ser la culminación de una operación que se inició en agosto de 2005, cuando la empresa española firmó un acuerdo con la petrolera norteamericana Hunt Oil para el desarrollo de Gas de Perú LNG (en este proyecto, Repsol YPF obtuvo un 20% de la planta de licuación) y el yacimiento de Camisea, en el que la sociedad española obtuvo el 10% de los bloques 85 y 56. El propósito era vender el gas “en la costa oeste de Estados Unidos y México”, según información de la propia compañía.
Aunque el objetivo de vender el gas en el país azteca estaba marcado desde hacía tiempo, la concesión se produjo tras un luctuoso suceso. Poco antes, el Ejército Popular Revolucionario -un grupo armado inactivo desde hacía varios años- dinamitaba los principales gaseoductos de la empresa estatal mexicana Pemex, que abastecen el corredor industrial del centro del país, provocando cortes de fluido que obligaron a parar a pequeñas y grandes empresas y sumió a la zona en un colapso sin precedentes.
Cumbre
La consecuencia inmediata fue acelerar la licitación por parte del Ejecutivo mexicano. En una cumbre de negocios en Nueva Zelanda, el presidente en persona dio al mundo la mejor noticia para Repsol YPF tras una larga temporada en los infiernos por la ‘nacionalización’ de parte de sus negocios en Bolivia y el aumento de impuestos que quiere imponer Ecuador.
El Gobierno de Rafael Correa quiere aumentar del 50% al 99% el llamado ‘beneficio extraordinario’ que según el Ejecutivo peruano obtienen Repsol YPF y otras compañías petroleras.
Más recientemente llegaba el turno de Gas Natural. Salvador Gabarró, presidente de la gasista española, anunciaba “la más importante adquisición de activos en toda la historia de la compañía”: 1.448 millones de dólares destinados a la compra de cuatro centrales de ciclo combinado y un gasoducto propiedad de EDF y otra central y un gasoducto, ambos propiedad de Mitsubishi.
En realidad, los proyectos de las dos empresas van unidos de la mano. Gas Natural y Repsol YPF sellaron un acuerdo estratégico para la explotación, transporte y comercialización del gas natural licuado (GNL) al 50 % que ahora, en clave méxicana, adquiere toda su dimensión. La flota de barcos metaneros de Gas Natural será, previsiblemente, la que transporte el gas licuado de Repsol a la planta regasificadora de Manzanillo.
De esta forma, la gasista española también obtiene una bocanada de aire tras la cancelación por parte del Gobierno argelino del contrato de explotación del yacimiento Gassi Touil. La empresa argelina Sonatrach rompió el contrato suscrito en 2004 para la puesta en marcha del yacimiento en 2009 por supuestos retrasos en la obra. Sin embargo, la firma española no está de acuerdo y ha solicitado un arbitraje internacional. a las puertas de EE.UU.
Gracias al nuevo contrato de México, Gas Natural se convierte en el segundo generador privado de energía eléctrica de este país, con cinco centrales próximas a la frontera con Estados Unidos, una potencia instalada de 2.233 megavatios (MW) y una posición importante en la distribución de gas natural licuado, sobretodo en la ciudad de México y diez municipios más.
Por otro lado, gana posiciones ante Iberdrola, que goza en México de una posición de fuerza. En 2006, la eléctrica presidida por Ignacio Sánchez-Galán inauguró Altamira V, su quinta central de ciclo combinado en tierras aztecas y se mantiene como el primer operador eléctrico del país, seguido por Gas Natural -que pasa a ser el segundo proveedor- y por Unión Fenosa, la eléctrica participada por la constructora ACS.
De esta forma, las tres firmas españolas producen el 65% de la electricidad que se consume en México.

La Caixa, primera caixa ?espa?nyola, va aconseguir un benefici net de 2.488 milions d'euros fet que suposa un descens del 17,8% respecte a l'exercici anterior. La caiguda de guanys de La Caixa es deu als menors extraordinaris, a causa que 2006 va ser un any excepcionalment bo en atípics, amb operacions com la venda d'Inmobiliaria Colonial. Des de l'entitat s'assegura que "el món continua" però es reconeix que fa anys que s'observava una "correcció tan tràgica".
La Caixa va obtenir el 2007 resultats extraordinaris de 477 milions d'euros, enfront dels 1.520 milions que es van registrar el 2006. El benefici recurrent, va pujar un 33,5%, fins als 2.011 milions d'euros i va estar impulsat per creixements superiors al 20% en tots els marges. En el seu pla estratègic 2007-2020 la caixa catalana preveu duplicar el seu benefici net recurrent en quatre anys.
Durant la roda de premsa de presentació de resultats, el president de La Caixa, Isidre Fainé, va admetre que "feia anys que no vèiem una correcció tan tràgica", si bé va apuntar que és un compte de resultats "sòlid". No obstant això, va afegir que "després d'aquesta crisi", en referència a la crisi de confiança dels mercats després de l'impacte de les hipoteques subprime als EUA, "el món continua".
La caixa assegura que els seus negocis van presentar un fort i sostingut creixement en l'exercici 2007, en un entorn impactat per fortes tensions en els mercats financers, alentiment i gran competència bancària. El grup assegura que la seva gran capacitat comercial ha possibilitat l'augment sostingut dels ingressos que, juntament amb la contenció de les despeses i la gestió del risc i de la liquiditat, ha possibilitat creixements superiors al 20% en tots els marges del compte, mantenint elevats nivells de qualitat de l'actiu, amb riscos controlats i elevades cobertures, i millorant l'eficiència i la solvència del Grup.
La caixa d'estalvis va créixer un 14,3% en volum de negoci bancari, fins als 385.639 milions, va millorar el marge d'explotació recurrent un 37,4% i va augmentar els ingressos de les participades un 23,1%.
Projecte de fusió a Andalusia
D'altra banda, el president de la Junta d'Andalusia, Manuel Chaves, va confirmar "converses incipients i multilaterals" per fusionar totes les caixes d'estalvis que estan domiciliades en aquesta Comunitat Autònoma. No obstant això, la Junta només ha fet els primers passos.

Salvar al soldado Sacyr
Resumen de prensa, en cope.es
El Mundo: Del Rivero pide ayuda al Gobierno para no vender Repsol a Lukoil. Pretende que La Caixa le compre la empresa de gestión de autopistas Itínere para así poder reducir su endeudamiento. El Ministerio de Industria baraja que el Tesoro se quede con la deuda contraída por Sacyr, en el marco del plan de ayuda a la banca. Zapatero mantiene su posición favorable a un acuerdo con los rusos: “Descarto una intervención del Gobierno en Repsol”. El presidente del ICO, Aurelio Martínez, afirma que su obligación es “hacer lo que le dice el Gobierno”. Los accionistas minoritarios exigen que se lance una OPA sobre el 100% . El PP lanza una ofensiva contra Lukoil y no descarta pedir una comisión de investigación Fernández de la Vega en el Fórum Economía & Sociedad abierta: “La mano invisible del mercado necesita la mano visible del Estado”. La vicepresidenta lanza un duro alegato contra los neoliberales y afirma que esa ideología “no ha resistido el empuje de la realidad”. EEUU anuncia un nuevo plan de 600.000 millones para reactivar las hipotecas. El Gobierno anuncia otro gran desembolso de la Reserva Federal para abrir el mercado de crédito y que la liquidez llegue a familias y empresas.
ABC: Zapatero se inhibe ahora de la venta de Repsol a Lukoil y deja sola a Sacyr. El Gobierno rectifica su postura días después de dar vía libre a la operación. La SEPI no comprará la participación de la constructora en la petrolera y el ICO no le refinanciará la deuda con los bancos. Rubalcaba prefiere a Total y Solbes evita pronunciarse. EEUU inyecta 800.000 millones para reactivar el consumo y la vivienda. Obama promete frenar el despilfarro y estudiará con los gobernadores un plan anticrisis. La Mesa tumba una idea de Bono por segunda vez en siete días. Se ve obligado a retirar la lista que elaboró para leer la Constitución y en la que estaban Casillas, Nadal, Contador, Laporta y Calderón. España probará su primera vacuna antisida en 30 voluntarios. La MVA-B es preventiva pero no evita la infección, sino que busca que la enfermedad no llegue a desarrollarse.
La Razón: El juez de Belfast pone reparos a la extradición del etarra De Juana a España. EL TERRORISTA, EN EL TRIBUNAL. El etarra compareció ante el juez Tom Burgess para oír la petición de las partes en su proceso para ser extraditado a España. UN DELITO DIFÍCIL DE UTILIZAR. El juez admite que al estar penado sólo con dos años, el delito de enaltecimiento no sería usado para su vuelta. UNA DOBLE INCRIMINACIÓN. La justicia española no ve motivos legales que impidan su entrega por parte de las autoridades españoles. EEUU destina 617.000 millones de euros para las familias y las pequeñas empresas. La Reserva Federal explica las novedades de sus planes para reactivar el consumo y “descongelar” el crédito a los particulares. Obama anuncia que revisará “el presupuesto página por página y línea por línea”.
El País: EEUU inunda de dólares la economía. LA FED EMITE 800.000 MILLONES PARA REANIMAR EL CRÉDITO Y EVITAR LA DEFLACIÓN. Zapatero anuncia que las medidas de estímulo se extenderán en España hasta 2010. El plan contra la crisis de la UE propone una rebaja de impuestos y cotizaciones. El CGPJ negocia suspender al juez Tirado de cinco meses a un año. Los progresistas apuestan por una sanción que le obligue a cambiar de juzgado. Del Rivero busca a Zapatero sin éxito. Algunos de los presentes en las jornadas de organizadas por el semanario The Economist, cuentan que al finalizar el acto el empresario intentó contactar con el presidente del Gobierno pero no lo logró. Del Rivero salió de la sala acompañado por David Taguas.
Libertaddigital: El Gobierno desea que la francesa Total entre en Repsol y se aleja la opción rusa. El desembarco de Lukoil se complica. La dificultad para conseguir financiación y la tormenta generada por el supuesto interés de la empresa rusa en Repsol dejan vía libre para que otras, como la francesa Total, entren en liza. Rubalcaba celebraría la llegada de la compañía gala. Zapatero: La entrada de Lukoil surge de empresarios españoles. Cambia el mapa electoral: El PSN, instigador de la ruptura PP-UPN, único beneficiado. Ya lo advirtió Santiago Cervera. La primera encuesta tras la ruptura PP-UPN da al PSN sus mejores resultados electorales. Sube un escaño, mientras los regionalistas pierden cinco a favor de los populares. Rajoy acude el viernes a Pamplona para inaugurar la sede de la refundación. Casillas, Estopa, Calderón y Laporta ya no leerán la Constitución. El presidente del Congreso, José Bono, ha decidido suspender las invitaciones cursadas a personajes famosos para participar el 5 de diciembre en una lectura de la Constitución en el hemiciclo junto con alumnos de institutos.
Elsemanaldigital: El Gobierno derrocha una millonada para que los españoles engorden sus arcas con la lotería. Es una fuente de ingresos fácil: sólo de la recaudación de los juegos de azar del ONLAE, el Estado se lleva la cuarta parte. Así que el Ejecutivo invierte verdaderas fortunas en publicitarlos. El galimatías Lukoil le abre a Zapatero una nueva brecha entre sus diputados. La semana pasada fue la placa de Sor Maravillas y esta vez la "ocupación" rusa. La división suscitada en el Gobierno del PSOE por el asunto Repsol se ha trasladado, y de qué manera, al Congreso. El "hermanísimo" de De la Vega dimite un día después de "ser nombrado". Su nombramiento como nuevo presidente de la Fundación de la petrolera se conoció el lunes, pero la reacción ha sido de tal magnitud que el susodicho ha tomado medidas drásticas. Sáenz de Santamaría se apunta un tanto importante en el Congreso. La portavoz y el resto de su equipo estaban pletóricos este martes por la tarde. Habían conseguido una ‘gesta’ que a punto estuvieron de echarles por tierra los socialistas. Rajoy come terreno a Miguel Sanz con un PP navarro aún en tablas.
Otros asuntos
El Mundo: Zapatero exige a Rouco el mismo respeto a las exhumaciones que a las canonizaciones. Guarda silencio sobre la posibilidad de regular la presencia de símbolos religiosos en los colegios. Alonso y Blanco creen que la aconfesionalidad del Estado implica la retirada de los crucifijos. 400.000 mujeres son maltratadas cada año en España. A pesar de ello sólo 80.000 presentan denuncias, según el Ministerio de Igualdad. Policías, escoltas y agentes del CNI aprenden técnicas antiterroristas en campos israelíes. Martine Aubry es ya de manera oficial la nueva líder de un Partido Socialista francés que queda partido en dos.
ABC: El ICO ha financiado la expansión de buena parte de las empresas del Ibex. La entidad estatal suele aportar entre un 6 y un 7% de estas grandes operaciones. Gas Natural, Enagás, Red Eléctrica, CLH, Gamesa, Ferrovial, ACS y RENFE son algunas de las empresas financiadas por el ICO. El Gobierno recurre al Congreso para eliminar el límite de tropas en el exterior. La ministra de Defensa anuncia el envío a Somalia de una fragata con 200 militares. ERC pide homenajear a la República y el PP recuerda la quema de conventos. El Congreso rechaza el intento de los independentistas de reformar la ley de Memoria.
La Razón: Zapatero reitera que el Gobierno no frenará la entrada de la petrolera rusa Lukoil en el capital de Repsol. El líder del PP mantiene sus críticas a la operación y promueve una investigación. Chacón anuncia el envío de una fragata con 200 militares a Somalia. Aboga por la cooperación entre Ministerios en la nueva Directiva Nacional de Defensa. Sáenz de Santamaría responde a Aznar con loas a la moderación. Defiende el trabajo de su grupo porque está “pendiente de los ciudadanos”. La guerra de los crucifijos enfrenta a padres y colegios. El PSOE del Congreso pide la retirada de los símbolos religiosos en edificios públicos. Un juez de Ponferrada, el primero que devuelve el caso a Garzón tras negarse a investigar una fosa común.
El País: El envío de tropas al índico rompe el límite de soldados en el exterior. El límite de 3.000 soldados para las operaciones de las Fuerzas Armadas saltará hecho añicos en 2009 con el envío de 390 militares al Índico contra la piratería. La ministra es partidaria de eliminar ese tope. Cuatro sentencias rechazan que los colegios decidan sobre el crucifijo. Sostienen que son los Gobiernos autonómicos los que deben decidir sobre la presencia de crucifijos en las aulas, y no los consejos escolares de cada centro. Zapatero pide a la Iglesia que respete todas las memorias. PP y ERC chocan con la Ley de Amnistía y se acusan de pasado antidemocrático. Martine Aubry gana la batalla para liderar el socialismo francés.
Libertaddigital: EEUU compromete el 60% de su PIB en el mayor rescate público de la historia. Suma y sigue. Si hace un mes, la factura del mega-rescate financiero en EEUU ascendía a 3,2 billones de dólares, en la actualidad, se ha disparado hasta los 8,5 billones (el 60,7% del PIB de 2007). Eso sin contar la supuesta garantía pública que se pretende extender al mercado de créditos derivados. Tardá dice que el Rey "tiene que pedir perdón" por "jurar los principios del Movimiento". PSOE, PP y CiU rechazaron en el Congreso la reforma de la conocida como "Ley de Memoria Histórica" que proponía ERC. El portavoz independentista Joan Tardá, en su línea, acusó a Fraga de ser "corresponsable de ejecuciones" y consideró que el Rey debe "pedir perdón" por su vinculación con el franquismo. Un diputado del PPC pide a Rodríguez Madero "que se vaya a su casa". Mientras que Génova sigue sin pronunciarse sobre la cuestión, un diputado autonómico del PP, Rafael Luna, ha pedido a Rodríguez Madero, el consejero del CAC que en su día propuso el propio PP, que "dimita y se vaya a su casa". El Pocero de Fuenlabrada pospone ahora la compra de suelo por su "encarecimiento". Como ya adelantó LD, "El Pocero Bueno" carecía de suelo para empezar a construir las casas que ha prometido a cerca de 3.000 personas. Aún así exigió una entrada del 10% por piso. Ahora dice que pospone la compra "debido al encarecimiento" del terreno.
Elsemanaldigital: Juan Manuel de Prada salió abrasado de su lance con el jefe de Losantos. No salió la jugada al gusto del columnista de ABC, otrora distinguido defensor de Zarzalejos en su guerra con la Cadena COPE. Al contrario, le esperaban con la guadaña levantada. EA endurece su ofensiva contra el PP y se lanza a la yugular de Fraga. Nuevo capítulo en la guerra entre ambos partidos. La formación vasca ha anunciado que encargará un informe para investigar el pasado oscuro y los crímenes contra la humanidad del gallego. El Príncipe Felipe se identifica con un extraño personaje de TVE. El dibujo animado Enjuto Mojamuto, del programa "Muchachada Nui" fue el encargado de inaugurar el II Foro Internacional de Contenidos Digitales, que presidía Don Felipe de Borbón.
Editoriales y artículos
El problema Sacyr
En El ‘caso del Rivero’ o la mano bien visible del Estado, El Mundo afirma que “Muchos de los males de la economía en España– y el intento de compra de Repsol por Lukoil es el mejor ejemplo– viene de la injerencia de los poderes públicos. El intento de Zapatero por tratar de arrebatar el control de empresas a personas supuestamente vinculadas al PP es lo que le llevó a intentar el asalto al BBVA, a Endesa y a Repsol. De ahí surgió el absurdo de convertir a un constructor como Luis del Rivero en el primer accionista de la petrolera. Los hechos vienen a demostrar que el disparate del papel que Del Rivero desempeña en Repsol es hijo del intervencionismo y no del libre mercado, y esa evidencia ha empujado al Gobierno a un callejón del que no sabe cómo salir. Por eso, Zapatero dice un día que va a defender el “ADN ideológico” de la socialdemocracia y al siguiente descarta mediar en la venta de Repsol con el argumento de que es partidario de “intervenir lo justo” en economía. (…) En realidad, si Del Rivero hubiera entrado por su cuenta en Repsol, no existiría el problema. Como quien le introdujo fue el Gobierno, ahora él exige que La Moncloa le saque del lío, si quiere evitar que venda a los rusos. (…) Si Zapatero defiende que los problemas empresariales “tienen que tener soluciones empresariales”, si de repente se ha despertado liberal, no es por convicción, sino porque antes, con su intervencionismo, alumbró el monstruo de Del Rivero. Y si se expone al desgaste que genera tanta contradicción, no es por redimir al constructor, sino por salvarse a sí mismo de una situación que nunca se habría producido si su mano bien visible – ahí queda su rastro – no hubiera mecido la cuna”.
En El Mundo, en Del Rivero, entre la Caixa y el Gobierno, Casimiro García-Abadillo escribe que “La caída de Sacyr sería un desastre, pero no es de recibo que su salvación sea a costa de vender Repsol a Lukoil”.
En Neoliberal converso, ABC opina que “Zapatero es el prototipo del político que vive pendiente de la imagen y practica sin pudor el oportunismo, cambiando de postura sin molestarse en dar explicaciones. Ayer, en un ámbito financiero y empresarial, lanzó un mensaje aparentemente liberal al asegurar que el Estado debe intervenir “lo justo” y que el proteccionismo supone “un retroceso para el desarrollo”. Resulta muy llamativa la súbita conversión del presidente del Gobierno a una doctrina evidentemente muy alejada de las prácticas que promueve, desde la fórmula de los “campeones nacionales” al incremento a tope del gasto público para desarrollar políticas sociales de dudosa eficacia. (…) Es probable que el mensaje contra el intervencionismo vaya dirigido a apagar algunos fuegos internos, aprovechando como siempre para hacer oposición retrospectiva contra el PP y para ignorar las críticas fundadas de Rajoy sobre una operación que carece de cualquier justificación objetiva. Una cosa es que España siga siendo un país atractivo para la inversión extranjera, como dijo ayer el presidente, y otra muy diferente poner en manos de una compañía como Lukoil una fuente determinante para el buen funcionamiento de nuestra economía. La figura de Zapatero como cabeza de una “cruzada” neoliberal después de sus críticas sectarias a la administración Bush resulta poco creíble, por mucho que ahora le convenga realizar este movimiento táctico”.
En Libertaddigital, Tufillo a corrupción, Ignacio Villa destaca que “Cada vez que Zapatero mete mano en el sector privado se arma un lío. Ha pasado ya en varias ocasiones desde que llegó al poder: BBVA, Endesa y ahora le toca el turno a Repsol. Al final, se trata siempre de la misma historia que despierta un cierto tufillo felipista, esto es, la percepción de la corrupción y del amiguismo en estado puro. El poder emborracha y Zapatero no es ajeno a ello: con este nuevo escándalo, está ofreciendo una imagen auténticamente lamentable”.
Los planes anticrisis se llevan por delante los conceptos de deuda pública y déficit
En EEUU sale en ayuda de las familias, La Razón dice que “La contundencia de Estados Unidos a la hora de afrontar la crisis económica contrasta con la vacilante, cuando no contradictoria, toma de decisiones europea. Así, mientras la Administración Bush aprobó ayer, con el apoyo de Obama, un segundo plan de intervención masiva por 800.000 millones de dólares, Europa se debate en propuestas que algunos países no están dispuestos a aplicar. (…) En opinión de los analistas, con estas medidas se pretende que la economía norteamericana no entre en deflación, dado que el margen de bajada de tipos, que están al 1% , está prácticamente agotada. En Europa, el panorama no parece tan despejado. Entre las propuestas se incluyen recortes del IVA, a pesar de la oposición de países como Alemania, Francia o España, que han dicho que no seguirán los pasos de Gran Bretaña para impulsar el consumo. (…) El problema es que la diferencia de criterios en el seno comunitario paraliza planes verdaderamente ambiciosos”.
En Un cambio de segunda mano, ABC señala que “Prácticamente todo el equipo del que se está rodeando Obama viene de puestos importantes de las dos legislaturas de Bill Clinton, incluyendo como elemento más simbólico la que, según todos los indicios, será la próxima secretaria de Estado, Hillary Clinton. (…) El tiempo dirá si este camino lleva a la próxima Administración hacia nuevos horizontes bajo la batuta del futuro presidente o, al contrario, si será el entorno que éste ha escogido el que delimite sus ambiciones. (…) Entre otras cosas porque una parte de la responsabilidad de la crisis actual la tienen también algunas de las políticas diseñadas durante los mandatos de Clinton”.
El antenicidio del CAC
En Libertaddigital, Engranajes, Juan Carlos Girauta escribe que “Por fin una voz autorizada del PPC, la del veterano Rafa Luna, pide la dimisión del miembro del CAC Rodríguez Madero, exorcista en sus ratos libres, que, con un trabajo así, deben ser los más. (…) Les pagan veinte quilos al año, bastante más que a un juez, e incluso más que al hermano de Carod, que ya es decir, porque su cargo conlleva incompatibilidades. Es decir, son unos sacrificados, pues es sabido que todos ellos podrían doblar tal remuneración en el mercado. A todos les llovían las ofertas multimillonarias de las grandes cadenas, emisoras y rotativos. Echen un vistazo a sus nombres y comprobaran que se trata de la flor y nata de la profesión, aunque ahora mismo no recuerde a ninguno haciendo nada”.
En Contra la libertad: Primero la COPE y Vocento, ahora Internet, Elsemanaldigital dice que “La COPE y Vocento no están solas. Tras quitar a estas emisoras cinco de las frecuencias que tienen ahora en Cataluña, el presidente del Consejo Audiovisual, Josep Maria Carbonell, quiere "regular el acceso de los operadores a Internet y otras redes telemáticas". Internet es por definición un espacio de libertad: libertad de expresión, de opinión y de información. Solo dictaduras como la cubana, la china y la norcoreana "regulan" el acceso a Internet. Porque la libertad de prensa es inseparable de la democracia. Y por eso mismo es intolerable en un organismo oficial, tras tres décadas de democracia, un planteamiento semejante”.
El difícil encaje de los ex presidentes del Gobierno
En El acento, en La autoridad de los mayores, El País sostiene que “A diferencia del estilo bronco de Aznar, González actúa con la autoridad y la paciencia fatigadas del padre que recibe unas malas notas del hijo díscolo. (…) Aznar se atreve a ser incorrecto y descoloca a su partido. González, en cambio, es más amigo de un discurso confuciano. (…) Uno es más amigo de incordiar, el otro de aconsejar. Pero ambos siguen ahí, infatigables, cada uno con sus reflejos. Los dardos envenenados de uno, las consejas de senador del otro, mientras a los suyos les toca mirar hacia otra parte, silbar y hacerse los locos”.
Pesimista evolución del maltrato a mujeres
En Fracaso contra los malos tratos, El Mundo advierte que “El Día Mundial Contra la Violencia de Género resultó ayer el de la constatación de un fracaso colectivo y administrativo. El fracaso de una sociedad que se pretende desarrollada pero en la que cerca del 5% de su población femenina sufre malos tratos – unas 400.000 mujeres, según estimaciones del Gobierno -. Y también el de un sistema político, judicial, policial y asistencial que se revela desbordado ante esa lacra. Nuestros poderes públicos no terminan de articular medidas eficaces contra la violencia de género por más campañas de sensibilización que se emprenden”.
En El Puntazo, en Cómo humillar a las mujeres por cuenta del erario público, La Razón dice que “En un alarde de oportunismo deleznable, una tal Ermitas Valencia, concejala de Juventud, Solidaridad y Normalización Lingüística del Ayuntamiento de La Coruña, ha dicho que el uso del español es otra forma de violencia de género, y que no hay diferencia entre un “ojo morado” y hablar castellano. Pocas veces se ha visto un acto de indecencia política y cívica de tal calibre. Porque Valencia no sólo insulta al sentido común; también humilla a las miles de mujeres que cada año son maltratadas”.

LUKOIL oil company :
LUKOIL's strategic goal for the 21st century is to secure stable growth and to become one of the world's leading oil companies. The goal can be achieved through a well-balanced solution of social, economic and environmental protection assignments.
LUKOIL realizes its responsibility to the nation for environmental safety, rational use of natural resources. The Company relies on people's understanding of the complexity and range of problems it is facing in this sphere.
LUKOIL's priority objectives are health protection and safety of personnel and communities in the areas where LUKOIL operates and natural resources management.
To complete this, industrial/occupational/environmental safety systems have been created and are successfully operating within the Company. They fully comply with the existing legislation of the Russian Federation and are based upon best domestic and international practices and are certified in conformity with ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001.
The policy has been developed and is along the line with the state strategy in the area of industrial/occupational/environmental safety and rational management of natural resources.
LUKOIL sets out the following goals in the coming 5 years:
permanent improvement of industrial/occupational/environmental safety and control over these commitments;
rational management of natural resources involved in commercial production and those in the areas where the Company operates;
achieving a level of industrial/occupational/environmental safety conforming to the current state of scientific, engineering and social development;
improving the industrial/environmental safety of the Company's production facilities, minimizing an adverse impact upon the environment through raising their reliability, ensuring both safe and trouble-free operation of process equipment;
setting efficient patterns for preparation and implementation industrial/occupational/environmental safety programs which ensure permanent identification and solution of increasingly more important industrial/occupational/environmental safety assignments faced by the Company;
stabilization followed by reduction of toxic emissions and discharge with increased production output through application of innovative, state-of-the-art technologies, equipment, materials and improvement of automation control level;
reduction of environmental stress caused by newly commissioned facilities through improving the preparation quality of (pre-)project documentation and its environmental and industrial safety assessment in LUKOIL;
efficiency improving of inspection for industrial safety and environmental monitoring at the Company's facilities through application of modern information technologies, diagnostic engineering and remote probing.
To attain these objectives, OAO LUKOIL has committed the following:
to implement a range of preventive measures aimed to preclude any emergency and mitigate impact on the environment;
to prioritize actions and measures, projected and under implementation, aimed at preventing an adverse impact on the environment, personnel and population over those aimed at elimination of such consequences;
to strive for persistent improvement in the figures characterizing the influence of such activities, products and services on the environment, personnel, population and natural resource consumption along the line with contemporary level of scientific, engineering and social development;
to work in a permanent and target-oriented manner on mitigating crude oil/oil product losses and their penetration into the environment;

Domestic Refining
LUKOIL developed its oil refining business very rapidly in 2007, particularly at Russian refineries, thanks to intensive modernization and extension of capacities, in a context of high refining margins.
The Company refined 56.77 million tonnes of oil in 2007 (including processing at third-party refineries), which is 5.4% more than in 2006. LUKOIL’s own facilities refined 52.16 million tonnes (6.7% more than in 2006).
The Group’s program for modernization and reconstruction of its refineries was continued in 2007 with capital expenditures of $830 million. LUKOIL also consolidated its oil refining assets, including increase of its stake in theNizhny Novgorod Refinery to 96.91%. Investments in Group refineries during 2007 totalled $157 million.
Refinery throughputs at LUKOIL’s own Russian refineries rose by 7.7%, to 42.55 million tonnes in 2007. Capacity load in Russia was 96.5%, which is the highest level in Company history. LUKOIL processed 3.59 million tonnes of crude oil at third-party refineries in Ufa, helping to take best advantage of the favourable price environment.
The share of high-octane gasoline in total output of gasoline at Company refineries in Russia (not including mini-refineries) rose to 83.5% in 2007, up from 76.6% in 2006. Refining depth was 74.0% and light product yield was 49.9%. The biggest output increases in 2007 were of fuel oil (18.4% increase compared with 2006), heating oil (+13.9%) and motor gasolines (+11.4%).
Measures were implemented in 2007 to reduce operating expenses and raise production efficiency of Russian refineries. As a result irretrievable losses at refineries were reduced from 0.70% to 0.65%. Irretrievable losses at the Nizhny Novgorod and Ukhta Refineries were among the lowest in the Russian refining industry at 0.38% and 0.22%, respectively. There was also a 2% reduction in average personnel numbers at LUKOIL’s Russian refineries during the year.
Capital expenditures for modernization of the Company’s Russian refineries were $606 million and investments were $157 million in 2007.
The Volgograd Refinery commissioned an isomerization unit with annual production capacity of 370,000 tonnes. The unit enables increase in yields of high-octane gasolines conforming to Euro-3 and Euro-4 standards. Economic effect (NPV) is estimated at $50 million.
At the Perm Refinery an isomerization unit was installed and put into operation. The unit, with annual production capacity of 450,000 tonnes, reduces purchases of high-octane additives, increases output of high-octane motor gasoline and reduces levels of benzol, aromatics and sulfur to conform to Euro-3 and Euro-4 standards. Economic effect (NPV) from installation of the unit is estimated at $85 million.
The Perm Refinery also commissioned an automated mixing station for motor gasolines with daily capacity of 6,500 tonnes. The station enables automated production of any grade of gasoline, thus reducing necessity for storage and, consequently, reducing working capital, while increasing gasoline production volumes.
Annual refining capacity at the Perm Refinery was increased from 12.0 to 12.4 million tonnes in 2007 thanks to overhaul of fractionation columns on distillation units.
At the Nizhny Novgorod Refinery the Company completed most of the work on installation of a vacuum residue visbreaking unit with 2.4 million tonnes annual capacity, and commissioning of the unit is scheduled for the second quarter of 2008. Economic effect (NPV) of the new installation is estimated at $383 million thanks to greater depth of refining and efficiency improvements.
The first stage of modernization (from 2006 to 2010) involves construction of catalytic cracking facilities, which will enable all motor gasolines at the Refinery to be produced to Euro-4 standards (the Refinery has produced gasoline to Euro-3 standards since 2006) and increase in overall output of motor fuels by 1.5 times. Qualitative indicators of the Refinery should be improved by 2010: Nelson index will rise to 7.4 (from3.6 in 2007), light product yields will reach 60% (42.6% in 2007), and the share of high-octane gasoline in overall gasoline output will reach 100% (86.6% in 2007). Annual EBITDA of the Nizhny Novgorod Refinery should rise by $240 million (in 2007 prices) as a result of launch of the new facilities.
At the Ukhta Refinery the Company commissioned a vacuum residue visbreaking unit with 800,000 tonnes annual capacity. The unit increases refining depth, reduces output of fuel oil and raises output of vacuum gas oil. Estimated economic effect (NPV) of the new unit is $94 million.
International Refining
Refinery throughputs at the Group’s international refineries grew by 2.5% in 2007 to 9.61 million tonnes. Total international refinery throughputs, including processing, were 10.63 million tonnes, which is 4.1% less than in 2006. The reduction was due to scaling down of deliveries to third-party refineries outsideRussia by 39.9% due to redirection of crude oil flows to refineries in Russia. Average capacity load at the Ploiesti (Petrotel) Refinery in Romania and at the Burgas Refinery in Bulgaria was 85.8%, which is slightly higher than the level in 2006.
Average refining depth at the Company’s foreign refineries rose to 81.0% in 2007 from 80.4% in 2006. Light product yield was 64.1%, down slightly from 66.1% in 2006, which was due to unscheduled stoppages of catalytic cracking units at the Petrotel-LUKOIL Refinery and unscheduled repairs to catalytic cracking units and distillation unit at the Burgas Refinery. Irretrievable losses were 1.11%. The share of high-octane gasoline in total output of gasoline at foreign refineries was 100% in 2007 (as in 2006).
The highest rates of output growth at international refineries were for jet fuel (+20.5%) and coke (+13.5%). Production of motor gasoline rose by 1.8%, and increase of diesel output was 3.5%.
Capital investments in modernization of foreign refineries were $224 million in 2007.
Burgas Refinery (Bulgaria)
At the Burgas Refinery in Bulgaria construction of a unit for isomerization of n-butane with 50,000 tonnes annual capacity was completed. Its launch will increase production of feedstock for the sulfuric acid alkylation unit at Burgas, raising production potential and enabling greater flexibility in production of highoctane gasolines (by increasing output of alkylate, which is a high-octane component) at the Refinery.
Economic effect (NPV) from launch of the new unit exceeds $70 million.
Odessa Refinery (Ukraine)
The Odessa Refinery inUkraine completed the first stage of reconstruction, which was begun in August 2005. The distillation unit and various other facilities were rebuilt during this first stage. Test operation was successfully carried out at the Refinery in 2007. In 2008 the Refinery completed the second stage of modernization by installation of a visbreaking unit, which will lower output of fuel oil and raise output of vacuum gas oil. The Odessa Refinery was put back in operation in April 2008. Modernization of the Refinery will increase refining depth from 56% to 78%. Economic effect (NPV) from the modernization is estimated at $87 million.
Petrotel-LUKOIL Refinery (Romania)
A 25 megawatt power supply unit was commissioned in 2007 at the Petrotel-LUKOIL Refinery in Romania, increasing total installed generating capacity at the Refinery to 61 megawatts. The new power supply unit increases reliability of power supplies to the Refinery, fully covering its electricity and heat needs, and also creates potential for supplies of heat to meet needs of the city of Ploiesti. The first stage of reconstruction of the power generating facilities at the Refinery has now been completed. The overall project also includes construction in the second half of 2009 of a boiler complex with 245 megawatts heat capacity, fired by petroleum coke. Petroleum coke is also produced at the Refinery and is considerably cheaper than fuel oil, which is currently used at the Refinery’s generating station.
Petrotel-LUKOIL also commissioned an automated system, which ensures efficient management of technical processes at various Refinery units and can react in real time to any changes in the Refinery’s production cycle.
Natural Gas Processing
The Company's gas-processing plants process associated gas produced in Russia, turn it into marketable gas (fed into the Gazprom gas pipeline system) and into liquid hydrocarbons.
The LUKOIL Group has 4 gas processing plants.

ü Industrial and household liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), including LPG for motor vehicles;
ü Isopentane;
ü Light nafta.
Gas-processing plants of LUKOIL Group processed 3.317 billion cubic meters of gas feedstock and 882,000 tonnes of natural gas liquids in 2007. Gas processing rose by 25% compared with 2006 and processing of natural gas liquids was 40% higher.
Major growth of processing volumes was due to capacity expansion at the Lokosovsky complex, which was completed in 2006. Company plants produced 2.595 billion cubic meters of stripped gas. They also produced 960,000 tonnes of LPG (36% more than in 2006). Output of liquid hydrocarbons (stable gas naphta, isopentane, hexane-heptane fractions, and natural gas liquids) totalled 873,000 tonnes, which is 38% more than in 2006.
Permneftegazpererabotka commissioned a new railway rack for loading of liquefied hydrocarbon gases and discharging of feedstock. The new installation will increase productivity of discharge and loading capacities by 1.5 times, enabling the plant to accept an extra 500,000 tonnes of natural gas liquids each year for processing.

In accordance with its development strategy in the petrochemicals segment, LUKOIL is steadily increasing production of chemicals with high value-added (polymers, monomers and organic synthesis products) and reducing production of chemicals with low value-added (secondary pyrolysis products and fuel fractions). LUKOIL petrochemical plants in 2007 produced 2.041 million tonnes of marketable petrochemicals, including 844,000 tonnes of polymers and monomers, 578,000 tonnes of organic synthesis products and 611,000 tonnes of pyrolysis products and fuel fractions. The Company made 477,800 tonnes of polyethylene (6.8% more than in 2006), 225,000 tonnes of propylene (3.2% less than in 2006), and 82,900 tonnes of polypropylene (18.1% more than in 2006). Net profit in the petrochemicals sector was $148 million, which is 54% more than in 2006.
Conditions on markets for petrochemicals were favourable in the accounting year. The market price for polyethylene rose by 8% in Europe and 4% in Russia. Prices for polypropylene were 7% higher in Europe, although they declined by 3% in Russia, and the market price for benzol rose by 10% in Europe and 2% in Russia.
LUKOIL took various steps for modernization of its existing petrochemical facilities and setting up of new production lines in 2007 as part of Company strategy for development in the petrochemical sector. Capital expenditures in the segment were $171 million and investments were $20 million.
During 2007 Otechestvennye Polimery, a joint venture between LUKOIL Group and SIBUR, acquired a controlling stake in POLIEF, which owns Russia’s only polyester facilities and is the country’s sole producer of terephthalic acid. Production volumes in 2007 were about 180,000 tonnes and annual capacity is 230,000 tonnes. Terephthalic acid is the raw material for production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is widely used in the textile and packaging industries as well as in other sectors. Launch of PET production with annual capacity of 120,000 tonnes by Otechestvennye Polimery, using its own feedstock, is scheduled for the first half of 2008.
A key project for LUKOIL in the next few years is construction of the Caspian Gas-chemical Complex, which will use natural gas and condensate produced by LUKOIL in the Caspian region. The purpose of the project is to increase added value through deeper processing of gas feedstock and to achieve highly efficient chemical processing of ethane, natural and gas condensate. The Complex will also carry out complex processing of natural gas and its components into basic organic synthesis products, polyethylene, polypropylene and other petrochemicals. A pre-feasibility study for construction of the Complex was completed in 2007, including selection of the configuration and structure of marketable output. A provisional decision was taken to build a gas-processing plant with annual capacity exceeding 6 billion cubic meters at the town of Artezian in the Republic of Kalmykiya, from where over a million tonnes of hydrocarbon feedstock will be delivered each year via a product pipeline for deep processing at Stavrolen. The feedstock will be processed at Stavrolen using new facilities for production of ethylene and its derivatives constructed for that purpose. Total annual capacity of Stavrolen will thus increase to 950,000 tonnes of ethylene, 900,000 tonnes of polyethylene, and 300,000 tonnes of polypropylene. Also, stripped gas produced at the Caspian Gas-processing Plant will be supplied to the Company’s power generating assets in the Southern Federal District.
Conceptual engineering for ethylene and ethylene derivative production from Northern Caspian hydrocarbons will be carried out in 2008, and negotiations will be held to secure agreements for licensing, equipment deliveries and construction of units to produce ethylene, polypropylene, and high- and low-density polyethylenes.

The Company carried out 10,573 km of 2D seismic exploration and 3,118 km2 of 3D seismic in 2006 in order to locate and detail structures, and to prepare for drilling of prospecting and exploration wells at promising structures. In recent years the quality of seismic exploration has improved and the speed of data processing and interpretation, has increased. This is mainly thanks to application of new IT solutions. For example, high-quality seismic has enabled a 100% success rate for exploration drilling in the Russian sector of the Northern Caspian, and the average success rate for the Group as a whole during the last five years has been over 70%.
Geoelectric exploration in 2006 totalled 4,030 km. Vertical seismic profiling, which details the geological structure around a drilled well, was carried out at 33 wells in 2006. Total exploration drilling in 2006 was 162,000 meters with efficiency level of 1,003 tonnes of reference fuel per meter. That is much higher than a figure of 385 tonnes of reference fuel per meter of exploration drilling, shown by the Company five years ago.
Most growth of liquid hydrocarbon reserves due to geological exploration work was achieved in the offshore Caspian, Western Siberia and Timan-Pechora. Oil discoveries were also made as part of the Condor project in Colombia and additional reserves were discovered in the Anaran project in Iran.
Geological exploration work led to discovery of 10 new fields in 2006, of which one was an oil & gas field (Shiryaevskoye in Perm Territory) and 9 were oil fields: Polyemskoye, North Pokamasovskoye, West Novomostovskoye and South Valovoye in Western Siberia; Verkhneye Volminskoye in Komi Republic; Stepnoye, Nemirovskoye in Volgograd Region; Olginskoye in Nenets Autonomous District; and Condor in Colombia. There were 15 new oil strata finds at existing fields.

Company subsidiaries and equity affiliates produced crude oil at 361 fields during 2007, and 12 new oil fields were put under development: the Tsentralno-Stanovoye field (Volga region), the Chekaldinskoye and Vladimirskoye fields (Tatarstan), the Mokhovskoye, Dozortsevskoye, Sypovskoye and Lesnoye fields (Urals region), the Verkhnee-Volminskoye, Oshskoye, and Osvanyurskoye fields (Timan-Pechora), the Domnovskoye field (Kaliningrad Region), East Kumkol (Kazakhstan), and one gas field — the Khauzak field (Uzbekistan).
Work continued in 2007 to improve efficiency of field development and reduce operating expenses as part of LUKOIL’s program for optimization of development and production of oil in the period of 2006–2008. LUKOIL production companies took systematic measures in 2007 for increase of well productivity and oil recovery rates in order to achieve oil production targets. Development costs totalled $6,660 million.
The Company had 28,470 production wells at the end of 2007, of which 24,100 were actually in use. The number of injection wells was 9,060, of which 6,660 were under pressure. The number of production wells increased by 2.3% compared with 2006 due to increase in volumes of drilling. The share of wells that were out of use had reduced marginally by the end of 2007 compared with the end of 2006, and stood at 15.3% of all production wells.
Total production drilling in 2007 was 2.968 million meters, which is 27% more than in 2006. There was an increase in the share of international projects in total production drilling, which reflected intensive field development work as part of projects, in which Caspian Investments Resources Ltd. was a participant. A total of 1,193 new production wells were commissioned, including 109 horizontal wells. Average daily flow at new wells was 37.8 tonnes, including 65.5 tonnes from horizontal wells. Total production from new wells (Group share) was 5.47 million tonnes. Drilling of horizontal wells has been found to be highly efficient and the Company plans to increase their numbers in the medium term.
Russia
Crude oil production by LUKOIL Group in Russia in 2007 was 91.100 million tonnes, including 90.735 million tonnes produced by subsidiaries. Russian production was 1.7% higher than in 2006.
Subsidiaries and equity affiliates of the Company produced oil at 337 fields in Russia during 2007. Production drilling was 2.641 million meters, which is 24.5% more than in 2006. The number of Company production wells in Russia at the end of 2007 was 27,450, of which 23,240 were actually in use. 981 new wells were commissioned during 2007 and production at new wells totalled 5.05 million tonnes.
International Projects
LUKOIL’s share of production in international projects was 5.545 million tonnes in 2007, which is 2.3% less than in 2006. The volume reduction was due to completion of the transaction for sale of a 50% stake in Caspian Investments Resources Ltd. Daily oil production by Caspian Investments Resources Ltd. at the time of the sale (based on its share in projects) was about 46,000 barrels. So the sale reduced daily output of crude oil by LUKOIL Group by 23,000 barrels. However, organic production growth in international projects was 9.8%, which almost completely compensated shrinkage of production due to the sale of Caspian Investments Resources Ltd. Most of the organic growth was from the KarakudukMunai, Karachaganak and North Buzachi projects.
Production drilling in the Company’s international projects was 327,000 meters, which is 49% more than in 2006. The large growth of production drilling in 2007 reflects intensive field development as part of projects involving Caspian Investments Resources Ltd. and as part of the Kumkol project. The number of oil production wells outside Russia was 1,017, of which 861 were in use. 212 new production wells were commissioned during the year. Average oil flow at wells was 61.7 tonnes per day. Launch of new wells gave 420,000 tonnes of additional production (Group share).
Gas Production
The objectives of LUKOIL’s gas program are accelerated growth of gas production both in Russia and abroad and increase in the share of gas to a third of total hydrocarbon production by the Group. The strategic aim is to commercialise gas reserves and reduce the Company’s exposure to price volatility on the international oil market.
Gas production by LUKOIL in 2007, including the Company share of production by equity affiliates, was 16.397 billion cubic meters (1.586 billion cubic feet per day). Output of marketable gas (net of own use, reinjection into reservoir formations and transport losses) totalled 13.955 billion cubic meters (1.350 billion cubic feet per day), of which 13.731 billion cubic meters were produced by subsidiaries. Average daily production of marketable gas grew by 2.5% compared with 2006. LUKOIL net profit from gas projects was over $150 million, which is more than twice higher than in 2006.
Production of natural gas was 10.787 billion cubic meters, of which 9.652 billion cubic meters was marketable. Output of marketable natural gas was 1.7% lower than in 2006 due to reduction of purchases by Gazprom from the Nakhodkinskoye field. The main achievement in gas production during 2007 was launch of production at the Khauzak gas field as part of the Kandym – Khauzak – Shady project.
Production of associated gas was 5.610 billion cubic meters. Associated gas is used at Company fields for maintenance of reservoir pressure (by injection of the gas), for production of electrical energy at gas-fired generating stations and for other production needs. Marketable associated gas is delivered to gas-processing plants and to local consumers. Production of marketable associated gas was 4.303 billion cubic meters, which is 13.5% more than in 2006.
The utilization rate for associated gas* was 69.0% in 2007 which is lower than in 2006. This was mainly due to acquisition in 2005–2006 of new production assets (Geoilbent and Khantymansiyskneftegazgeologiya), which do not have developed systems for gas utilization, as well as rapid growth of oil production by these assets.
The system for utilization of associated gas at Company fields was further developed in 2007 by construction of compressor stations and gas pipelines. The level of utilization at main Company fields in Western Siberia exceeded 95%. Implementation of projects for use of associated gas at newly acquired assets will enable production of the gas to be increased by more than one billion cubic meters.
LUKOIL is carrying out a small-scale generating program, based on construction of gas-fired mini power stations at fields in order to increase associated gas utilization. As a result the Company is able to reduce flaring of associated gas and cut electricity costs, thus reducing oil lifting costs. These measures are important for implementation of LUKOIL’s program, which aims to increase associated gas utilization to 95%, and which was approved in 2003.
The Company had 376 gas production wells at the end of 2007, of which 277 were in use.
Russia
Production of marketable gas in Russia in 2007 was 12.273 billion cubic meters, which is 1.2% less than in 2006. The share of natural gas was 66%, which is 5 percentage points less than in 2006. LUKOIL had 297 gas production wells in Russia by the end of 2007, of which 221 were in use.
International Projects

The share of natural gas was 89%, which is 4 percentage points higher than in 2006. The Shakh-Deniz and Kandym – Khauzak – Shady projects accounted for most of the growth in gas output. LUKOIL gas production wells in international projects totalled 79 at the end of 2007, of which 56 were in use.
International Exploration and Production
Exploration and production of oil & gas is LUKOIL's main business and delivers the largest share of Company value (almost 50% of consolidated net profit of LUKOIL Group). LUKOIL has a high-quality E&P asset portfolio, which is highly diversified in terms of geography, reserve type, and levels of depletion.
The emphasis in geological exploration work abroad is to prepare the resource base for rapid launch of production as part of the Company’s strategy for intensive development of its international business. 2D seismic work in international projects totalled 1,470 km in 2007, 3D work was 2,822 km2 and overall exploration drilling was 13,000 meters. Spending on geological exploration outside Russia was $180 million. The Company continued rapid development of its international Exploration & Production business. The Group was involved in 15 geological exploration projects outside Russia during 2007: in Azerbaijan, Colombia, Iran, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, Venezuela, and Cote d’Ivoire. LUKOIL Group constantly monitors opportunities for participation in new, promising international projects, and the Company acquired stakes in three new projects during 2007: an agreement was signed in April with the American oil & gas company, Vanco Energy, for acquisition of a 56.66% stake in three projects for geological exploration of promising offshore blocks in the Gulf of Guinea (Western Africa).
An agreement was also signed with the Indonesian state oil company, Pertamina, for conduct of joint geological exploration work in Indonesia over a two-year period. The agreement envisages creation of a management committee and joint technical group for study of several promising offshore and onshore areas in various parts of Indonesia. The objective is to assess and interpret existing data in preparation for subsequent geological exploration work and development of oil & gas areas. LUKOIL signed a memorandum in 2007 with the state oil company, Qatar Petroleum, on cooperation for exploration, development and rehabilitation of oil & gas fields in Qatar.
LUKOIL’s share of production in international projects was 5.545 million tonnes in 2007, which is 2.3% less than in 2006. The volume reduction was due to completion of the transaction for sale of a 50% stake in Caspian Investments Resources Ltd. Daily oil production by Caspian Investments Resources Ltd. At the time of the sale (based on its share in projects) was about 46,000 barrels. So the sale reduced daily output of crude oil by LUKOIL Group by 23,000 barrels. However, organic production growth in international projects was 9.8%, which almost completely compensated shrinkage of production due to the sale of Caspian Investments Resources Ltd. Most of the organic growth was from the KarakudukMunai, Karachaganak and North Buzachi projects.
Production drilling in the Company’s international projects was 327,000 meters, which is 49% more than in 2006.

The share of natural gas was 89%, which is 4 percentage points higher than in 2006. The Shakh-Deniz and Kandym – Khauzak – Shady projects accounted for most of the growth in gas output. LUKOIL gas production wells in international projects totalled 79 at the end of 2007, of which 56 were in use.
The biggest volumes of marketable gas (1.046 billion cubic meters by LUKOIL’s project share) were produced at the Karachaganak field in Kazakhstan, where output increased by 4.2% compared with 2006. One multi-bore horizontal well was launched at Karachaganak in 2007 and drilling of another multi-bore well was completed. A further 6 such wells are to be brought into operation during 2008. Project work was carried out in 2007 on the third stage of field development, which will significantly increase capacities. The third stage will start to be implemented in 2008.
LUKOIL continued intensive development of its production projects in Kazakhstan, investing $287 million in development of Kazakh fields during 2007.
LUKOIL produced 1.60 million tonnes of oil and gas condensate in 2007 as its share of the Karachaganak project in Kazakhstan. Production rose by 10.5% compared with 2006. One multi-bore horizontal well with daily oil flow of 1,400 tonnes was launched in 2007 and construction of another multi-bore well was completed. A further 6 such wells are due to be commissioned in 2008. Work was carried out in 2007 for the third stage of the project, which will involve substantial capacity increases. Implementation of the third stage is scheduled to start in 2008.
Intensive development of the Kumkol field in Kazakhstan was continued. A total of 25 production wells were commissioned and sidetrack drilling technology was tested. Average oil flows from new wells, commissioned in 2007, were 77.9 tonnes per day. A unit for primary disposal of water and a group pumping station were completed as part of development of the system for maintaining reservoir pressure. A scheme for utilization of associated gas was selected and agreed with the supervisory authorities in Kazakhstan, and implementation was begun. The East Kumkol satellite field was brought into production in 2007. Total output in the Kumkol project rose by 2.9% in 2007 to 1.76 million tonnes (LUKOIL’s share). Output has now reached the planned level and LUKOIL’s objective is to maintain production at this level for as long as possible. 32 new production wells are to be drilled in 2008 and sidetracks will be drilled at 10 wells.
In Egypt 13 new wells were launched as part of the Meleiha project. They gave average daily oil flow of 43 tonnes. An extension of the concession agreement for the Meleiha block up to 2024 came into force in 2007. A further 32 wells are to be drilled in 2008. A system of reservoir pressure maintenance was made ready for launch as part of the WEEM project in Egypt and well drilling will be restarted in 2008. A total of 5 new production wells are to be drilled in the project. The share of production of LUKOIL Group in Egyptian projects remained at its level in 2006 (200,000 tonnes).
Test production was carried out at the first exploration well as part of the Condor project in Colombia and 1,400 tonnes of high-quality Vasconia crude was produced. Work began on a development plan and a schedule for field preparation.
Production of gas condensate began in 2007 at the Khauzak area (part of the Dengizkul gas condensate field in Uzbekistan, which is being developed as part of the Kandym — Khauzak — Shady project). A complex system was put in place for transportation of gas condensate to Uzbekistan’s Dzharkurgansky Oil Refinery.
A key event in 2007 was launch of natural gas production at the Khauzak gas area as part of the Kandym — Khauzak — Shady PSA project in Uzbekistan. Peak production in the project will be about 12 billion cubic meters per year, which exceeds overall natural gas production by LUKOIL in 2007.

Oil transportation
Crude oil exports from Russia by LUKOIL subsidiaries (including oil purchased from other producers) declined to 42.15 million tonnes, down by 4.5% from 2006, due to redirection of a part of export oil to the domestic market. LUKOIL exported 38.10 million tonnes to the far-abroad countries and 4.05 million tonnes to the near-abroad. The Company managed its export deliveries efficiently in 2007, selecting the most profitable routes. The largest share of export volumes was delivered via the ports of Primorsk and Novorossiysk, which accounted for 50% of total exports (46% in 2006). A further 13% of exports were directed to Germany via the Druzhba pipeline (16% in 2006).

Petroleum product sales
LUKOIL exported 25.1 million tonnes of petroleum products to the near- and far-abroad in 2007 (22.0% more than in 2006). The growth compared with 2006 was due to production and export increases at nearly all of the Company’s Russian refineries. The bulk of exports (over 85%) consist of fuel oil, diesel and vacuum gas oil.

Rail
Most petroleum products are delivered to export by railway (83.5% of the total in 2007). LUKOIL optimized its product deliveries by rail in 2007, using its own tankers and tankers provided by other private companies, and obtaining lower tariffs and discounts on main export routes. These efforts enabled the Company to limit growth of rail delivery costs in 2007: cost for LUKOIL of rail delivery of a tonne of products to export rose by 11.9% during the year, compared with 13.0% tariff increase by Russian Railways.
Terminals
Vysotsk

The Vysotsk terminal is located on the Baltic coast in the North-West of Russia. Construction began in June 2002 with the aim of increasing export capacities for crude oil and petroleum product exports and reducing transport costs. The first stage of the terminal, with capacity for 4.7 mln tons of oil and petroleum products, was launched in June 2004. In 2005 the second stage was built and launched, in 2006 – the third stage. Annual capacity at the end of 2007 was 12 mln tons. The harbour can accommodate ships with deadweight up to 80,000 tons, giving a substantial saving on transport costs. The terminal can handle crude oil, fuel oil, vacuum gas oil and diesel. Since 2005 only petroleum products have been exported via the terminal.
Petroleum products are supplied to the terminal by railway. Technical characteristics of Vysotsk make it one of the most up-to-date terminals in the world. Vysotsk allows LUKOIL to export oil and petroleum products to Western Europe, the USA and South-East Asia.
In 2007 Vysotsk handled 3.4 mln tons of vacuum gas oil, 4.2 mln tons of diesel fuel and 3.5 mln tons of fuel oil. Total shipments were 11.7 mln tons, which is one third more than in 2006.

Varandey
This terminal with annual capacity of 1.5 mln tons, located 4 km from the village of Varandey on the Barents Sea, began operations in 2000. The terminal was connected to oil reservoirs on the coast by an underwater pipeline and could serve ice-breaking tankers with deadweight up to 20,000 tons.
The terminal was intended for all the year round export deliveries from the Timan-Pechora oil & gas province, particularly deliveries to the US market. Due to growth of production in the region and lack of developed transport infrastructure the decision was taken to build a new terminal with annual capacity of 12 mln tons of oil.
Construction of an ice-resistant off-loading terminal (22 km off-shore), two onshore tanks and an underwater pipeline was completed in 2007. The terminal was launched in June 2008 and regular oil shipments by tankers with deadweight up to 70,000 tons began. There are also plans to start shuttle deliveries of oil from the terminal to a new transshipment complex on the coast near Murmansk, where the oil will be loaded onto tankers with deadweight up to 150,000 tons and carried to Europe, the eastern seaboard of the USA and Canada. Thus, a unique sea export system which makes it possible to transport large quantities of oil to polar regions was created. It allows oil exports at a minimum cost, while preserving its quality, to the European and North American markets. Besides, the infrastructure has been built to develop new fields in Timan-Pechora oil and gas province. Transshipments through Varandey in 2007 were 0.8 mln tons of oil.
Svetly
A terminal at the port of Svetly in Kaliningrad Region ( 20 km from Kaliningrad) was commissioned in 2000. The terminal is designed for transshipment of crude oil produced by LUKOIL-Kaliningradmorneft and of petroleum products. Initial annual capacity of 1.5 mln tons was increased thanks to work in 2003 and the terminal can now transship as much as 4 mln tons per year.
In 2004 the channel from the port entrance at Baltiysk was widened and deepened, making the terminal accessible for tankers with deadweight up to 20,000 tons (the previous limit was 12,000 tons). The effect is to increase annual capacity to 6 mln tons of oil and petroleum products. A system introduced at the terminal in 2005 increased shipment of base lubricants and diesel fuel.
The Svetly terminal transshipped 2.7 mln tons of crude oil and gas condensate (including 1.4 mln tons owned by third parties) and 1.8 mln tons of petroleum products (including 0.6 mln tons owned by third parties) in 2007.
Astrakhan
In October 2003 LUKOIL commissioned the first stage of a crude oil export terminal in the village of Ilyinka in Astrakhan Region. Oil is carried to the terminal by railway, where it is transshipped to river-sea tankers.
Current annual crude capacity of the terminal is 2 mln tons and the terminal can service tankers with deadweight up to 5,000 tons. One use of the terminal is for supplies of oil to Iran on a substitution basis.
In 2007 the terminal handled 0.4 mln tons of oil and petroleum products.
Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC)
The Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) is a 1,510 km pipeline connecting the Tengiz field with the Yuzhnaya Ozereyevka terminal nearNovorossiysk. The first framework agreement on construction of the CPC was signed in mid-1992 between Kazakhstan, Oman and Russia. The first stage of the pipeline with annual capacity of 28.2 mln tons was put into operation at the end of 2001. It was decided in October 2004 to expand annual capacity of the CPC to 67 mln tons by 2008. The first tanker was loaded with CPC oil in October 2001.
Pumping of oil from the Kumkol field through the CPC began in October 2003 (the oil is carried by pipeline from the field to the town of Dzhusaly, and from there by rail to the CPC).
In May 2004 LUKOIL Group began to pump stable gas condensate from the Karachaganak field through the CPC system.
In November 2004 the CPC began to transport LUKOIL Group oil from the Volga region and Western Siberia.

CCOO es consolida a «la Caixa» amb 301 delegats
CCOO ha augmentat la representativitat a «la Caixa» després de les eleccions als comitès d'empresa de 20 circumscripcions, amb la qual cosa el total de delegats del sindicat en aquests territoris puja a 301 d'un total de 592 (50,8%). Segons CCOO, aquest nivell de representativitat és el màxim des de 1990, i s'ha aconseguit, en part, per l'augment dels delegats escollits aquest any a les circumscripcions que han celebrat eleccions, en què CCOO ha augmentat en 27 els seus representants, fins a 80 nous delegats. Els altres sindicats amb representació són el SECPB-CSICA (32%) i la UGT (12%).

Banco Santander estafa financiera, mètode Ponzi :
L'estafa financera més tran de la història preocupa els inversors perquè el forat provocat per la companyia d'inversió de l'expresident del Nasdaq Bernard Madoff, encara s'ha de quantificar i pot afectar entitats de molts països, entre els quals l'Estat espanyol. El Banco Santander té dos Fons que estaven lligats al negoci de Madoff i que movien fins a 3.300 milions € d'euros. Hi pot haver més entitats de banca privada per a grans fortunes. El BBVA estudia si ho va fer. El frau es va descobrir després que els fills de Bernard Madoff denunciessin a la policia que el seu pare els havia confessat que havia provocat una estafa mitjançant el mètode Ponzi; és a dir, que va planejar un frau piramidal de proporcions èpiques a través d'un fons de cobertura. Aquesta estafa es pot convertir en la més gran de la història, seguida del cas Enron el 2001, quan es van estafar 63.400 milions de dòlars. El mètode Ponzi implica el pagament d'uns rendiments anormalment elevats. Un sistema piramidal, que paga el rendiment promès amb el diner ingressat mitjançant l'entrada de nous clients, fins que es trenca la cadena i es descobreix el frau.

La Caixa treballadors afectats :
La Caixa negocia amb els sindicats un "pla d'optimització" de la seva xarxa d'oficines fins al 2010, sense que de moment hi hagi una xifra concreta de tancaments de sucursals ni de treballadors afectats, van informar fonts de l'entitat.
Segons avançaven ahir El Economista i Expansión, la reestructuració es farà mitjançant recol·locacions en altres oficines, prejubilacions i jubilacions parcials.
Fonts sindicals consultades van explicar que el pla comportarà el tancament de 250 oficines entre 2009 i 2010 amb l'objectiu d'adaptar al context econòmic actual la xarxa de sucursals de l'entitat, la més àmplia del país.
Els mateixos mitjans van explicar que la previsió és tancar 150 oficines al 2009 i 100 més al 2010, sobretot a Catalunya i les Balears, on La Caixa té més sucursals i més concentrades.
També desapareixeran alguns centres oberts en petites poblacions de Castella i Lleó i que tenen un sol empleat.
Fonts sindicals van detallar que la majoria de tancaments es produiran en oficines d'uns tres treballadors ubicades a uns cent metres d'oficines més grans, que n'absorbiran la feina i part de la plantilla.
Retallada de plantilla
Després de les recol·locacions en altres oficines, prejubilacions i jubilacions parcials, la plantilla disminuirà en unes 200 persones per aquest pla, segons els sindicats.
Per la seva banda, La Caixa ha volgut destacar que en l'últim any s'han creat 1.000 llocs de treball nets, xifra semblant a la del 2007.
Amb tot, les prejubilacions i jubilacions parcials no formaran part d'un pla extraordinari, sinó que s'inscriuen en el que es fa cada any. Per al 2009 hi ha inscrits 450 treballadors, dels quals gairebé 200 seran jubilacions parcials -fet que suposa una nova contractació a canvi-.
La plantilla pròpia de La Caixa al setembre, data més recent amb dades, era de 25.431 persones, i la xarxa d'oficines de 5.577 -295 més que el setembre del 2007-.
El Banc d'Espanya va instar al final de l'any 2008 a bancs i caixes d'estalvis a controlar costos i vigilar la dimensió de la xarxa d'oficines, després de diversos anys d'obertures de gran nombre de sucursals.
