INDIA: The Sistema - Shyam telecommunications certificate termination intends to toss a lengthy darkness over India-Russia connections. CNBC TV18’s Siddharth Zarabi found up with Alexander M Kadakin, the second time Ambassador of the European Federation to Native indian. In his first unique TV appointment on the latest improvements, Kadakin cautioned that Italy would not allow its individuals cash to go spend due to India’s inner state policies, including that while Sistema and Italy were eager to take care of the issue, one of the alternatives could also be to quit Native indian.
Excerpts of the unique interview:
Siddharth Zarabi: Let me begin by asking you about the European Deputy Excellent Minister’s short trip to Native indian. Although Russian-Indian financial collaboration has ongoing for many decades, for the last few several weeks we saw some problems arriving up. It seems that (due to latest developments) traders from all over the globe and obviously traders from Italy too may have some issues about India’s quality and appeal as an financial commitment location. What do you have to say to that?
Alexander Kadakin: Well, we have very wide collaboration with Native indian in the area of common financial commitment, too. The Sistema or Shyam Telecom and Native indian financial commitment collaboration began in 2008 when they became true customers of the certificate. They functioned in demanding compliance with all rules of Native indian and purchased the certificate for the wavelengths, not stated by anyone. We were very fulfilled that such a new and exciting area of our common collaboration as telecommunications was started out, a new financial commitment location for the European investment – both personal investment from the Sistema, as well as from the Govt with its stocks.
As true customers of that certificate we were thunderstruck when the whole thing all of a rapid modified here in Native indian and all those allows were noticeable incorrect. It was a very surprising development. I feel the legal and other government bodies did not make a difference between our organization, which was a true customer, and all other organizations. And the array we purchased was not stated by any Native indian organization.
There might have been faults or maybe even offenses. But we were not suffering from them. We have been until now silently and proficiently operating and the number of Native indian customers protected by the MTS product has obtained 16 mn. We shall observe very carefully how the scenario originates in the arriving several weeks, even days. It is essential that a clear difference be designed between those who may have dedicated some criminal activity and those who were operating carefully, genuinely and proficiently.
Siddharth Zarabi: Ambassador Kadakin, you designed this very essential factor and you are not the only ambassador of a nation which, as worldwide traders, seem to be suffering from the Superior Judge option. My next issue to you has to do with the overall procedure that seems to have invoked in this respect. The organization in issue has started mediation process towards the Govt of Native indian...
Alexander Kadakin: No, mediation has not been began. We are looking together with our Native indian buddies how we can get out of this scenario in a justful and appropriate way. Arbitration has not began. There are three alternatives that the European part can take. First, is just completely keep Native indian.
Siddharth Zarabi: Is that really an option?
Alexander Kadakin: It is an option, but we do not want it. We do search for financial commitment collaboration between the two areas to succeed and create. Please understand that we welcome India’s financial commitment in Italy, especially in hydrocarbons, oil, manure, gemstones, etc. There is a glowing example of very effective collaboration – Sakhalin 1 venture. But, we should keep in ideas that this is a two-way traffic, like two linking boats in chemical make up. How can effective financial commitment from the Native indian part take place if generally to our traders here? It takes two to dance, you know. We do want to see Native indian as our trader and we freely declared it. It was described last night by our Deputy Excellent Reverend, Mr Dmitry Rogozin.
Siddharth Zarabi: Ambassador, is it possible to tell us, what was the reaction that you got from the Govt, because clearly the European Govt has been increasing this issue for several several weeks now? You observed anything from any accountable organization in the Government?
Alexander Kadakin: This issue was mentioned last night, when Russia’s Deputy Excellent Reverend Rogozin had shares in his potential as the Co-Chair of the Russian-Indian IGC. We described this issue to the Co-Chair from the Native indian part, the Exterior Matters Reverend, Mr SM Krishna. It was also mentioned in D. Rogozin’s discussion with the Excellent Reverend. We are not much for this first option.
The second option is an worldwide trial of mediation. We have a bilateral contract on protecting investment strategies, which is legitimate. International exercise gives issue to worldwide contracts over household laws and regulations. But if you would like, we can opt for the third option – to proceed collaboration and to take care of this rapid issue in a helpful way recognized by the great soul of our ideal and blessed collaboration.
Siddharth Zarabi: Ambassador, what would be the repercussions if no remedy is obtained, because clearly, according to what we observed from the Native indian government bodies the issue is a legal one, it is up to the legal courts and we cannot really impact the legal courts in India?
Alexander Kadakin: I do not want to ideas on the Native indian legal system, with maximum respect I have for it. But it seems there is more governmental content here than legal one. If we take up the issue judicially, look - a true customer gets a regularity which nobody statements, performing according to all standards and rules, legitimate then, in 2008, and all of a rapid this year they just terminate all the allows and my organization is boiled in one broth with all other organizations which may have dedicated something. It is not a legal issue only, it is a governmental one. The European Govt will never allow 3.1 bn money to be tossed in the pit. This must be recognized. The Government’s stocks are the tax-payers' cash. It is about 1 bn. Are we to toss our cash into the inferno of your inner issues in the telecommunications sector?
Siddharth Zarabi: Ambassador, while you discuss this I am also advised of the fact that now when the financial commitment occurred in 2008 the Rupee-Rouble Debts Agreement already proved helpful. I remember mature associates of the Govt of Native indian saying that this organization became a way to negotiate this Rupee-Rouble debt. Clearly the repercussions of this will not be restricted to personal organizations but also crack down of interaction at a much advanced stage, at the Govt to Govt stage.
Alexander Kadakin: I do recognize with you because to some extent the cash that was spent was from the Rupee debt of Native indian to the former Communist Nation. Native indian has been a very persistent payer of your debt. It was done just distinct on the day. There is some cash remaining of your debt, but it is almost compensated. All and all, our personal preference and the best way to negotiate the issue is to do it in a helpful soul with very effective contribution of the Govt. We do have maximum respect for the judiciary in your nation, but for us, it is mainly a governmental issue.
Siddharth Zarabi: Ambassador, let me now turn to the issue of overall collaboration between Native indian and Italy. There are reviews that in the course of the modern times Native indian has become less essential location for Italy. Is that knowing mistaken?
Alexander Kadakin: I do not recognize with this at all. How can it be that Native indian would seem not a very beneficial location for European financial commitment if last night a deal was finalized in Moscow starting a history of credit for 3.5 bn US money for the development of Kudankulam energy plant? This is a huge, very essential and ideal venture. How can one say that factors are not OK? These are the objectives of ill-wishers who try to sow wicked seed products of question into our collaboration.
We do have issues in common business because the results are not fulfilling. Its number of 10 bn money between Native indian and Italy as an yearly income is just nuts. $ 9.6 bln, as of these days, to be accurate. With Chinese suppliers we have $ 200 bln. India’s income with Chinese suppliers is organized to arrive at $ 100 bln. That is important!
Siddharth Zarabi: Before I ask you any particular issue on the tasks that Italy might take later on let me get returning to the issue of Kudankulam. In previous times we observed that some of the demonstrations that were released against the atomic energy in Native indian were, perhaps, inspired ones. You also described “ill wishes”. Would you like to flourish on that? Some question you have in your ideas, who is behind the protests?
Alexander Kadakin: Well, whose were known as by the Excellent Reverend in his appointment to the 'Science' journal. When that scenario ongoing for six several weeks, when Native indian as a result was losing 1 mn money every day. One should normally think, how come those individuals were so well structured, on what cash those “nature-protectors” were purchasing water and had food provided, had shamianas constructed there? It expenses a lot. Who was providing the money? And the Native indian Govt has found that the cash was routed through all type of environmental and “green” NGOs. But the cash originally was focused not for the anti-Kudankulam demonstrations. Instead of creating the facilities in the area and in those towns, the cash was used to arrange protests!
Siddharth Zarabi: What would be your concept to the bigger Native indian public as far as the development of atomic energy is worried, because Kudankulam venture will be a glowing example of Indian-Russia atomic cooperation?
Alexander Kadakin: It is not a key. In the medical globe everybody knows that these models are the most secure on the globe. And, despite maybe some type of envy or competitors on the part of other nations, even the researchers in those nations do recognize that those models are the most secure and the best on the globe. That is why we do not see why we should not proceed our large-scale collaboration with Native indian. We now have a map to fix India’s energy issues and we are assisting seriously, doing whatever we can. It has been determined that in many decades even if Native indian purchases the whole amount of oil designed on the globe, it will not be sufficient to satisfy its approximated specifications for maintainable development. To get over India’s energy lack, the only remedy is atomic energy.
Siddharth Zarabi: And are you fulfilled with the schedule and the advance made?
Alexander Kadakin: It has been late for six several weeks, true, but not due to our mistake. Our researchers were seated nonproductive for six several weeks, doing nothing. We wish that there will be no repeating of this scenario. We say that given India’s wish, and the map is there already, we can help Native indian in sequential development of atomic models, not only Kudankulam #3 and #4, but #5 and #6 also, if space allows. We also are ready to develop another place in another vicinity. The option on the new website has not been designed. Haripur was described in the moving. We are awaiting another website to be known as. Other nations that get involved in India’s relaxing atomic energy tasks are not our opponents, since Native indian specifications in energy are such that even the three nations taken together – Italy, Portugal, and the Combined Declares – will not be able to satisfy India’s requirements in full.
Siddharth Zarabi: Mr Kadakin, let me ask you seriously, as a traditional professional a more common issue. The overall atmosphere in Native indian at this factor of your energy and energy seems like in a little bit of despondency. The outside scenario shows a issue of the worldwide group. How do you see the overall scenario around Native indian as well as the overall framework?
Alexander Kadakin: It’s a challenging issue you are asking. I cannot ideas on your interaction with nearby nations, but we do welcome the procedure which has began between Native indian and Pakistan with creating of more programs of interaction. More programs of collaboration mean more programs of relationship. The only way to have an improved common knowing is to perform together, to discuss. We welcome the procedure of step-by-step normalization. There is a hefty pressure of previous times and even of offenses dedicated against Native indian. But I think this luggage has to be remaining unclaimed, and new interaction should be designed.
As regards Native indian, we are rejoicing together with Native indian at its success. The results of the India’s development have been great, nearly 9 %, which in simple terms is almost an financial magic. We are extremely pleased together with you, as Italy is India’s equivalent associate, a sis. So whenever I get to Moscow, I give one simple example: in five and a 50 percent decades of my lack between the 'two Indias', when I was making my first ambassadorial publish in 2004, the city was inaugurated in Delhi and I took a joy journey. There were only seven programs there such as Kashmiri Checkpoint. But when I came returning from Stockholm, you had more than 100 programs. Is that not a miracle? Moscow would be jealous. We have one new place designed in one season, and there is so much party. Native indian is hurrying forward like a European troika. We are fulfilled to be in that sledge together with Native indian and want to hurry even quicker, and bring all our initiatives in all areas such as that of common financial commitment.
We do wish that the Shyam Telecom issue will be peacefully fixed. These are some alerts we are getting from the Govt. A special team has been designed, not the team for all the gamers in that game, but particularly to look into the European situation as a individual one, as we have been requiring from the very starting. So, mediation or a trial situation, like in Singapore trial or in Stockholm, is the last hotel. Leaving Native indian after so much of our not only cash, but of our spirits and minds and hearts have been spent, is definitely not our option. We would like the Govt to take up this issue in a really serious way. The lengthy run of our financial commitment collaboration is determined by this. If it is not efficiently settled, than we shall have second ideas whether it is beneficial to work. We come here, spend cash and then retrospectively everything is modified instantaneously. We will not allow European cash to die.
Siddharth Zarabi: Ambassador Kadakin, thank you very much. Let us wish that this nuisance between Native indian and Italy gets settled in due course.
Alexander Kadakin: It is not an nuisance but just a issue. Those individuals who do not perform have no issues. But we do perform in a serious and sincere way to enhance our ideal collaboration. Offering a good reputation from both factors and wish to fix factors, the sky will be eliminated.
