Shell admits errors

[NewsWhore]

Shell's general manager in Santo Domingo, Rafael Maradiaga has released a report that had been kept secret and that revealed that there were "deficiencies in the process" of invoicing cargo costs. The report, written in March 2007, said that there had been errors, but these were not systematic. Maradiaga sent the report to Dominican Refinery president Ruben Montas in response to a report from board members who were questioning the alteration of cargo invoices. Maradiago told reporters that when petroleum is purchased on the "spot" market, the price included transport, and therefore, there was no reason why the invoices should show separate charges for transport. He attributed the mistakes to "an inadequate control structure for something so important."
