During a visit to the President of the Senate yesterday, the president of the Dominican Petroleum Refinery (REFIDOMSA) asked Congress to revise the contracts signed by SHELL and the Dominican State. Aristides Fernandez Zucco believes that the contract, which was signed 36 years ago, must be revised to adjust it to the present times. He said the contract was obsolete.
Fernandez Zucco also informed that REFIDOMSA and SHELL have agreed to approve the 50,000 barrels of oil per day within the Petro-Caribbean Agreement framework, which he said would begin on 12 November 2005.
