Mise à jour
En septembre 2007, le Point de Contact National (PCN) du Royaume-Uni a publié son ‘évaluation initiale' de la plainte de Global Witness, disponible en anglais à :
www.csr.gov.uk/docs/Afrimex_initial_assessment_final.doc
L'évaluation confirme que le PCN a décidé d'accepter la plainte de Global Witness pour une enquête supplémentaire. Cependant, elle n'indique pas que le PCN pense qu'Afrimex a enfreint les Principes directeurs de l'OCDE à l'intention des entreprises multinationales.

Global Witness stands by findings on Sudanese oil data
Global Witness today refuted claims that it had apologized for the findings of its September 2009 report, Fuelling Mistrust, on the lack of transparency in Sudan's oil sector. The organisation said that although very important commitments on improving transparency were made recently by the Government of National Unity (GoNU), the full disclosure of oil revenue data and the results of an independent audit remain necessary to prove the concerns were unfounded.
