  • Small, Savvy, High-Tech Firms Preponderate Among Israeli Multinationals, Survey Finds
    Small, savvy, high-tech firms preponderate among Israeli multinationals, survey finds EMBARGO: The contents of this report must not be quoted or summarized in the print, broadcast or electronic media before September 2nd, 2009, 10:00 a.m. Israel; 7 a.m. GMT and 3:00 a.m. United States EST. Release of the second ranking of Israeli outward investors Jerusalem and New York , September 2nd, 2009 The second annual survey of Israeli multinational enterprises (MNEs) is being released today. It was conducted by a joint team composed of the Manufacturers Association of Israel, Tel Aviv University, Hebrew University and the Vale Columbia Center on Sustainable International Investment (VCC), a joint undertaking of Columbia Law School and The Earth Institute at Columbia University in New York.1 The survey is part of a long-term, multi-country study of the rapid global expansion of multinational enterprises (MNEs) from emerging markets. The results released today cover the year 2007, although some information on 2008 is also provided. In 2007, Israel's top 20 MNEs – ranked by foreign assets – had over USD 12 billion in foreign assets (table 1), over USD 26 billion in foreign sales (including exports), and employed nearly 68,000 persons abroad. Foreign assets, sales and employment had increased by 33%, 8% and 24%, respectively, since 2006 (table 2). Four firms, Israel Chemicals, Amdocs, Teva and Ormat, together accounted for 60% of the total foreign assets of the top 20. An important clarification is in order. The report speaks of ‘the top 20’ for convenience. It is not in fact possible to be certain that the 20 companies listed in table 1 below are the largest Israeli investors abroad.

Although all errors are mine, he should be considered as co-author. 1. INTRODUCTION The Tribunal have asked me to consider whether, and if so how, English law could provide remedies to victims of human rights abuses by reference to a number of specific examples. Whilst I remain happy to talk to these examples at the hearing, I hope I can be forgiven for thinking that it is likely to be of greater assistance to the Tribunal if I provide an overview of the basic components of English law in so far as they relate to redress and accountability for victims of human rights abuses.
