Dear Sir.

NO U-turn on phosphate mining

The article “U-turn on phosphate mining” on 3 April 2014 refers.

There has neither been any U-turn nor any softening of the stance on marine phosphate mining by the responsible Minister.

A phone call to the Minister could have verified his steadfast position. He is determined as ever before in his stance against marine phosphate mining and to let the three year Moratorium run its course.

Thank you.
