Dear Mr. Egler,

It is hard to imagine why the Swiss authorities would consider to continue the providing of grants which benefit/subsidize directly a certain logging company. A company where the shareholders and directors are not known and this information is considered to be 'some secret which can only be extracted with spying activities'. Clearly this should be publically available information not only under national law but also when it comes to donor agencies getting involved with such entiteties. Based on the allegations made in Africa Confidential, concerning the ownership of CIB, and the subsequent total black out on such information, I would like SECO to get the Swiss authorities to start an investigation of CIB/tt-Timber under the OECD anti corruption stipulations to which Switzerland appears to be a signatory.

It terrifies me to think what will happen in terms of bush meat once the road will link the North to Brazzaville, considering that it turned out to be totally impossible to stop the FLYING OUT, on a weekly basis, of tons of bush meat including that of gorillas and elephants, on the flights from Ouesso to Brazzaville. Maybe progress in some ways. A huge step backwards in other ways. Clearly something the minister would not want to see documented based on: spying activities.

Best regards
Karl Ammann
