TOR SDORET
-3-0 #796, August 19, Noon, from Tehran
The Iran Govt is conscious of its need for presence of
experienced fon specialists for effective admin of oil.
It also realizes it is nec that these experts responsible
for oil operations which they will conduct for govt and
NIOC, shld have auth and sufficient freedom of action
in respect of exec and tech matters. Iran Govt will also
give experts nec powers according to laws and internal
the
ordinances of Iran and in accordance with indiv agrmts
which have been entered into with them Iran Govt is
not, however, prepared to hand over control of oil
ations to fon organ or to restrict sovereignty of Iran.
4. Transfer of Co's properties and method of pymt of
compensation:
In para 1 of Brit del's proposals it is provided that former
AIOC will transfer all its installations, machinery, apparatus
and equip in Persia to NIOC and, in case of assets situated
in south Persia, compensation to be paid to former AIOC by
NIOC will be counted as part of expenses of running oil
industry that area.
In case of assets of Kermanshah oil (sic) and similarly al
installations, machinery, apparatus and movable property of
former AIOC which in past was used for marketing of refined
products in Persia, it is provided in para 7 that these
properties will be transferred to Persian Govt on favourable
terms
As regards compensation, as has been explained repeatedly
and is now stated again, assets of former CO have been
vested in Persian Govt by virtue of the law for nationali-
zation of oil industry The govt is ready to investigate
fully and fairly just claims of former AIOC, taking into
consideration claims which Persian Govt has against co
and in respect of its assets in Persia and outside Persia,
and to settle these claims after rights of both parties have
been established.
By explanations which have been given it is proved that pro-
posal of Brit del is not consistent with sense of formula
submitted by Persian Govt and if estee-lryc-m* del will
consider objections and criticisms of Persian del, this del,
as it has repeatedly said and proved in practice, will wel-
come most warmly continuation of negots.
My comments will fol.
