ILLA International, LLC. received a letter from Mr.Peter Bickert, President of INEOS Phenol, USA, with a detailed description of the causes of the accident at INEOS Phenol plant (Mobile, Alabama, USA). Excerpts from Mr. Bickert's letter are given below:
- | We are now publishing a more detailed description of the root cause of the accident to interested parties and the general public. As is evident from this description, we have no reason to believe that Illa contributed to this accident and we do not consider Illa associated with the root cause of this accident. | - | On that basis, dear Vladimir, I suggest to put these issues behind us. You and Illa are experts in the industry. We have had a fruitful cooperation. Let me repeat my offer to you to have a meeting where we can discuss issues of mutual interest, including, of course, all safety related topics, in a relaxed atmosphere. | - | Given our statements regarding Illa's lack of involvement with the root cause of the Mobile incident, we have no concerns if you share this letter, preferably in its entirety, with your business partners. |
