ENI CEO Claudio Descalzi said
Wednesday he was "proud to live in what some people call a dump:
it's my home and it's the most beautiful and cleanest in the
world". He said "let those who say ENI is a dump come and say it
to my face". Turning to the oil project in the southern Val
d'Agri area that has spurred controversy, Descalzi said he
wanted to "go all the way" to show ENI had done nothing wrong.
"Should we halt production for 2-3 years? I don't care, I want
to go all the way, our conscience is clear". ENI has been
accused of polluting the area in Basilicata with its waste
processing plant, Centro Oli. Industry minister Federica Guidi
resigned last week over an oil probe in Basilicata, although she
is not under investigation.
