By Linda A. Thompson

Practitioners are divided over whether an agreement between Shell and the Dutch tax administration breaks EU government aid rules. The debate has heated up in recent days after an article released June 18 by a Dutch academic claimed Royal Dutch Shell Plc avoided a tax on dividends by routing shares through a trust in the Channel Island of Jersey. Shell didn’t immediately return a request for comment. FULL ARTICLE

Bonus Group: And sadly yet more news of BG Group diaspora. A Sound move: Sound Energy, the Moroccan focused upstream gas company, announces that, as part of its planned preparations for the forthcoming potential partial divestment of Eastern Morocco portfolio, Brian Mitchener, Exploration Director of the Company will step down from the Board with effect from 31 March 2020. At the Board's request, and to enable the Company to conserve cash balances, Mr. Mitchener has agreed to accept new ordinary shares in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") in settlement of termination of his employment contract. As a result, the Company expects to issue new Ordinary Shares, at the then prevailing price per Ordinary Share, with an aggregate market value of £107,983 on or around 25 January 2020 (the "Settlement Shares") and a further announcement will be made in this regard, as appropriate, in due course. In addition, the Company announces that a total of 863,682 restricted stock units ("RSUs") previously awarded to Mr. Mitchener will now vest in full on 31 March 2020, ahead of the original date of vesting of the RSUs, announced on 26 April 2018, of 1 January 2021.

John Donovan: Theo, I have ceased posting your comments because they do not belong here. You should set up your own blog so that you are free to cover wide-ranging subjects rather than being restricted to discussions relevant to Shell or this website. Best wishes. John

Bonus Group: More news of BG diaspora. Ms Beverley Smith https://ir.q4europe.com/Solutionsstaging/Hurricane2018tf/3942/newsArticle.aspx?storyid=14551557 Memories of a catastrophic foray into Algeria, followed by a costly and hasty retreat.

Killing this forum: Theo, if it is your intention to kill off this supposedly Shell focussed forum by boring everyone to death with nonsensical ramblings, which have little relevance to Shell, then you are succeeding. Shell is not even mentioned.

Theo Benschop: Good morning young lad in London! You are very right in the here and now! Everybody wants back to nature, everybody wants therefore to cut back on emissions, but nobody wants to walk! So in the here and now the whole world is indeed saying with the freedom of speech and the freedom to read Theo Benschop, we, the about 7 Billion simple descendants of the first human beings not being a monkey would love in the history of mankind on the by Coca Coca sponsored falling star so-called planet Earth without a plan B to know what you’ve been smoking and/or drinking, because it really has made your postings somewhat unreadable. Slow down, think and re-read what your have typed, then others may be able to understand what you are trying to say Google in the light of the free sun on this beautiful brand new day peacefully in the historic crisis in the Trias Politica with the freedom of speech and the freedom to read on the digital internet full with inspiring anti-war quotes full with ancient and modern wisdom and full with inspiring anti-cyber war quotes full of inspiring ancient and modern wisdom in the name of about 7 Billion simple descendants of the first human beings not being a monkey Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Rise and shine! Watch out the bugs don't bite blind world leaders on the falling by Coca Cola sponsored star so-called planet Earth without plan B! The blind world leaders have in the historic crisis in the Trias Politica in the history of mankind the right to know Who is Free Immediately beloved Brother Julian Assange? Who is listen to beloved sister Rep. Ilhan Omar? Who is listen to Greta How dare you? How dare you? How dare you? Thunberg?. PS in the history of mankind on the by Coca Cola sponsored falling star so-called planet Earth without a plan B is it by the way interesting to know that Earth is not a tiny star, but instaed of this a so-called planet. So I’m answering everybody I’m smoking Look out! Authenthic Dutch Holland Blue. Roken is dodelijk – Stop nu! Tabaksrook bevat meer dan 70 stoffen die kanker veroorzaken!

LondonLad: Well “Theo Benschop” I would love to know what you’ve been smoking and/or drinking - it really has made your postings somewhat unreadable. Slow down, think and re-read what your have typed, then others may be able to understand what you are trying to say. Who is this Greta Thunderberg’s-R-Go?? As many have said before me she should finish her schooling off rather than playing truant. She might learn some other facts about climate change. For example rather than trying to preach to the converted she should attempt to persuade the likes of China, Russia, India and Indonesia to cut back on emissions. Even the likes of Shell are trying to help but of course most on this forum have their heads where the sun doesn’t shine when recognizing this fact. Oh, by the way Earth is not a tiny star it is a planet.

Theo Benschop: PS We, the about 7 Billion smart responsible owners of the tiny star so-called planet Earth without a smart plan B and beloved sister Greta Thunberg have after 40 year smart responsible discussion about the climate all the smart desired responsible knowledge about how to solve a in a smart responsible way a so-called problem with the climate on our tiny star so-called planet Earth without a smart plan B for which tiny star we are after all just until the end of times responsible. We and beloved sister Greta Thunberg are standing in the here and now in the vanities of the vanities where there will be nothing new under the free sun that is making the boring rounds around the free sun for the question is there a so called problem? Would you be so kind and smart to answer this question either with a responsible yes or no? If you have answered no, so-called problem solved, thank you very much for your smart responsible cooperation! If you have answered yes, the so-called problem is than not solved. In that smart case would you be so kind and smart to answer this responsible question either with yes or no? I am a smart responsible owner of the tiny star so-called planet Earth without a smart plan B. I think the who smart responsible discussion is just hysteric responsible nonsense, so just stay until the end of times with the smart plan A. Yes or no? If you have answered yes, so-called problem solved, thank you very much for your smart responsible cooperation! If you have answered no, so-called problem not solved. Would you be so kind and smart to answer this responsible question either with yes or no? I am a smart responsible owner of the tiny star so-called planet Earth without a smart plan B. I am in the here and now willing to solve a so-called problem, like beloved sister Greta Thunberg. I choose for smart responsible plan B. Next case! Thank you very much for your smart responsible cooperation!

Theo Benschop: Good morning young lad in London! Young lad in London, I have to tell you with the freedom of speech that I in the here and now thought that I had in an earlier stadium in the history of mankind replied to your reaction. So this means that I do this for the second time as 1+1=2. Let I start with good news: there is in the history of mankind not such a thing as a so-called problem for the simple reason it just in the history of mankind doesn’t exist. I could have started also with Happy Xmas, War is over. If for instance young men in London in the United Divided BREXIT want it. But I didn’t as you can read with the freedom to read. Furthermore I bring under your attention that it is in the history of mankind not allowed to talk falsely about your beloved neighbours. Hereby I repeat black on white “I know for sure that a former director has maybe in the context of the subject literally had said: everybody knows that the smart people at the oil companies have a plan B. So it will be a problem if the government is not giving the start moment for the smart plans B. So if you want to solve this simple problem: all what the government has to do is fix the price of the Black Gold - sorry, I mean the oil, or petrol for the cars, as everybody wants beautiful nature, but nobody wants to walk, which is a good thing for the shareholders – at a level nobody will notice. Maybe add something to the price. But there you have the money to pay for the transition to a more sustainable energy. So actually what everybody wants in the agreements in Paris. Also I know for sure that beloved sister Rep. Ilham Omar was perfectly right in her conclusion that a few guilty criminals did something to create the chaos of nine eleven, so not the rest of the Universe. So that about 7 Billion simple descendants of the first human beings not being a monkey are supporting her for keep on being the one and only first president of all sovereign or not sovereign United Nations.

Bogus Group: BG Alumni….... normally your post wouldn’t warrant a response from me, however I’m curious to know, what was the idea that was fostered? The website is intertwined since Shell’s acquisition of BG Group, and having worked for both companies, I feel compelled to post my comments, as others should be made aware of the traits of some of their “colleagues”. I don’t know why you’d state the website is becoming ‘bitter and twisted’, my posts are factual, and having knowledge of the workings of BG Group, there is no reason to doubt that Bonus Group’s posts are not equally factual. I had the pleasure of working with a lot of committed people in both companies, mostly with good intent, but there were others with contrasting agendas, some bordering on sinister. Unfortunately, many of the good ones either left or were pushed, as they were seen as a threat to the lackey’s, intent in moving up the corporate ladder at all costs, emboldened by the toxic corporate culture. Some issues must be highlighted. For example, the Brent ‘TFA policy’, fatalities in a Brent Bravo utility shaft, a further fatality 2-years later in the same utility shaft and BG Group’s 20 plus fatalities in a ten-year period. Many of the causal factors can be attributed to the same management enablers, but because they were shielded by company lawyers, there was no accountability. If anyone should be branded ‘bitter and twisted’ it’s the lawyers. Is this what Michael Coates meant when he said one of his biggest internal challenges was his in-house legal team? It’s crucial to have people with the courage to express an opinion as opposed to those who turn a blind eye to failings. I could hazard a guess at what camp you’d be in.

Bonus Group: BG Alumni. Ha, ha! Your post is a typical example of the quality of BG Group work. Can't read what they have written, can't check what they have written, can't type and if you don't know, then lie. Bonus Group's posts are about the dismally poor standards at BG Group and their consequences. Sure, everyone liked being employed by BG Group, because they were well paid and didn't have to do any serious work. It was a case of 'passing the parcel' by email when you couldn't do the work required. All to the shareholders' detriment. I suggest that you go back to your cappuccino. Or is it a latte?

BG Alumni: It's about time Bonus Group and Bogus Group moved on. This website is repaidly becoming all baout the bitter and twisted.I can't imagine how that idea was fostered.
