    Second1 International Fact-Finding Mission to Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan Pipeline Azerbaijan Section Initial Summary Report 4 June 2003 Bank Information Center Friends of the Earth US Friends of the Earth Netherlands CEE Bankwatch Network Green Alternative National Ecological Centre of Ukraine PLATFORM From May 7 through 11, an international Fact Finding Mission (FFM) comprised of representatives from the seven international NGOs listed above visited Azerbaijan to assess the planning and implementation of the proposed Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) oil pipeline. The FFM traveled along the pipeline route meeting with landowners, community members and local government.2 The FFM also met with NGOs in Baku and Ganja and company representatives at the Sangachal terminal and the workers’ camp near Aran. This report provides a brief overview of the findings. A full report will be issued in the near future with findings and recommendations for BP, the lead operator of the consortium, and for the public and private financial institutions being approached to finance the project. These public institutions include the World Bank Group, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), and export credit agencies from several countries. This preliminary findings report for Azerbaijan (a parallel report for Georgia is prepared) serves as an initial report for the financial institutions that are being asked imminently to finance the pipeline. Resettlement and Land Compensation The FFM noted numerous concerns about the implementation of the land compensation process in Azerbaijan. • Land owners were not given the contract in advance. Approximately one year ago, land owners were required to sign a document stating that they would adhere to the compensation process.
