And it is questionable whether Canadian taxpayers would willingly finance a costly stabilization plan certain to cause...
...largess was a power play to crash Italy into the big leagues of Middle East oil. Probably no major Western company will be as free-handed in future contracts with oil-rich Iran. Even so, the ENI deal is a significant break in the fifty-fifty pattern. The government will press for NIOC participation in future oil deals...
