Aujourd’hui, tout ce qui concerne les activit\u00e9s de BAE avec l’Arabie Saoudite, en plus de contribuer \u00e0 la fortune (au propre et au figur\u00e9) du groupe, contribue paradoxalement \u00e0 son affaiblissement en alimentant la chape de plomb de soup\u00e7ons et d’activit\u00e9s occultes qui p\u00e8se sur lui. C’est donc le cas de la r\u00e9v\u00e9lation faite par des parlementaires lib\u00e9raux britanniques, et reprise notamment par The Independent<\/em> de ce jour<\/a>, d’un nouveau march\u00e9 d’\u00a31 milliard et portant sur 60 avions d’entra\u00eenement Hawk<\/em>. (Rien n’est dit sur le fait de savoir si ces n\u00e9gociations sont affect\u00e9es par l’affaire BAE en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, notamment par un freinage ou des conditions pos\u00e9es par les Saoudiens. C’est probable.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tC’est caract\u00e9ristique. On n’applaudit pas du tout \u00e0 la nouvelle, qui est pourtant bonne pour l’exportation et l’industrie britanniques. Voyez les r\u00e9actions des parlementaires lib\u00e9raux :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abLiberal Democrat MPs said yesterday that it was possible the Saudis had dangled the current deal during representations to drop the corruption inquiry.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbMr Lamb added: If this contract was envisaged and the Saudis were saying your prospects of winning this contract hang in the balance, that would be yet more evidence of a breach of OECD rules.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbIt certainly needs to be pursued. Particularly if there is a link between this contract, supply of work, and the decision in December.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbMr Lamb’s colleague Vince Cable, a Treasury spokesman, said: Prince Bandar was coming to Britain and landing at Brize Norton about every fortnight. They can’t just have been discussing dropping the investigation.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tPlus encore, la nouvelle met un peu plus en \u00e9vidence un autre domaine d\u00e9licat de l’affaire BAE : celui des liens structurels existant entre militaires britanniques et saoudiens, d\u00e9sormais charg\u00e9s d’une cargaison de soup\u00e7ons de corruption et d’ing\u00e9rences dans les affaires nationales britanniques. C’est cet aspect structurel qui est le plus pr\u00e9occupant et alimente tant de soup\u00e7ons selon lesquels, au lieu d’\u00eatre un groupe contr\u00f4lant le secteur d\u00e9fense\/a\u00e9rospatial de l’Arabie, BAE serait plut\u00f4t tenu sous l’influence manipulatrice<\/a> de l’Arabie, client fastueux, corrupteur et exigeant.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tDeux remarques \u00e0 ce propos, extraites de l’article :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abThe arms industry bible Jane’s Defence Weekly reports that BAE and the Saudi government are negotiating a new \u00a31bn contract for 60 Hawk trainer jets. If that goes ahead, it will lock the Saudi air force, BAE and Britain’s Royal Air Force into years of training co-operation that would be worth billions of pounds.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t()<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbDefence analyst Paul Beaver said the deal showed how tightly BAE and the Saudis were linked. If they have the European fighter, they have to have the leading fighter trainer.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 8 juillet 2007 \u00e0 07H57<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Aujourd’hui, tout ce qui concerne les activit\u00e9s de BAE avec l’Arabie Saoudite, en plus de contribuer \u00e0 la fortune (au propre et au figur\u00e9) du groupe, contribue paradoxalement \u00e0 son affaiblissement en alimentant la chape de plomb de soup\u00e7ons et d’activit\u00e9s occultes qui p\u00e8se sur lui.
