~ Pandt's positions tenuous ~
PHILIPSBURG--Commissioner Clyde van Putten of Statia said on Monday that he had urged GEBE's Supervisory Board and Shareholding Foundation to expedite the execution of the shares transfer agreement signed by Saba, Statia and St. Maarten last October.
Van Putten met with St. Maarten's Minister of Energy Theo Heyliger, GEBE Supervisory Board Chairman Julius Lambert and Shareholding Foundation Chairman Ralph Richardson for what he described as "good meetings."
He said he had reiterated that Statia's island government remained committed to the agreement signed despite unknown reservations by Statia's representative on the foundation Max Pandt. "We have not heard from Max Pandt," Van Putten said, adding that Statia would be moving on. It is believed that Statia will look to dismiss Pandt in the next few days.
Van Putten said he had called for a plan of approach to be drawn up, as Statia was not under the unrealistic impression that "things can happen one, two, three. We understand that it will take time, but the process must start."
"I also sensed that there is a difference of approach between the two boards in terms of whose competence it is to execute what. So I urged both to get together to discuss a way forward and determine what should happen and when," Van Putten said.
Before any of that happens, Statia will have to regulate its representative on the Shareholding Foundation board, as no decision can be taken unless all board members are present in board meetings.
