Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (EITI) in Timor-Leste |
| On 1 July 2010, Timor-Leste completed a seven-year process of becoming compliant with the standards of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), which was appreciated by the Government and by La'o Hamutuk. Ever since then-Prime Minister Mari Alkatiri spoke at the founding conference of EITI in 2003, governments, civil society and oil companies have worked together to achieve this goal, and La'o Hamutuk congratulates them all for making Timor-Leste the third EITI-compliant nation in the world. Compliance was achieved after independent validators verified Timor-Leste's first EITI report (for 2008). Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative is a worldwide effort to improve transparency and accountability in management of revenues from oil, gas and mining, established in September 2002 by the British government, and now coordinated by Norway. EITI is a voluntary coalition of governments, companies, civil society groups, investors and international organizations. Oil-consuming and industrialized nations encourage EITI to improve revenue management by governments of oil exporting countries through the verification and publication of company payments and government revenues. A number of oil and mining companies say they are willing to use EITI as an international standard, although most will implement it only when governments of resource-producing countries require them to do so. Transparency in revenue management alone does not ensure a fair and just use of non-renewable resources, and transparency alone does not address many other problems which confront citizens of extractive-dependent countries, such as sustainability, reducing petroleum dependency, violations of community and human rights, environmental protection and attention to vulnerable groups. This web page collects analysis and comments on EITI that La'o Hamutuk has published since 2005, as well as key documents related to EITI in Timor-Leste. As always, we welcome additions and corrections. | Iha loron 1 Julho 2010, Timor-Leste kompleta prosesu ida ba tinan hitu atu sai kumpridor ho standar Inisiativa Transparansi ba Industria Extrativa (Eng.), ka ho lian Ingles hanaran Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), ne’ebe mak Governu (Port.) no La’o Hamutuk apresia.
