Dear Executive,

Þ Do you know how your organisation will be affected by the implementation of the US sanctions and the D’Amato law should they be enforced?

Þ Can you forecast and exploit the benefits and increased opportunities of being involved in Iranian petrochemicals?

Þ Can you effectively maintain your customer share in this highly prosperous market in view of the US restrictions?

Þ Are you fully aware the developments presently facing European and US companies who have invested in Iran as well as the effect this will have on you and your company?
