It states the company is 'Private' but then goes on to provide its NYSE ticket symbol. This company is publicly tradable.

The article looks like a corporate press release; most importantly, it glosses over numerous conflicts CVRD has had in the past with local populations, including indigenous communities. The company is also no less responsible for ecological damage than other large mining concerns. Since a shady privatization proccess (when the company was sold for less than its annual profits), CVRD has used its weight and command of the entire iron-ore transport chain to bully and purchase smaller iron miners in Brazil, using its newfound near-monopoly to impose on iron buyers unfair prices, a situation which led to the demise of many foundries. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thuin (talk • contribs) .

In Christmas Time, Let’s Share The Daily Prayer Of Vale Do Rio Doce

Contributed by Nelson Tembra Belem/Para/Amazonia/Brazil Thursday, 21 December 2006

I come to bring my analysis for Roger Agnelli's declarations during annual balance of the Company Vale do Rio Doce, accomplished in December 13, 2006, in the headquarters of the Federation of the Industries of Rio de Janeiro (Firjan). Such declarations underestimate everybody’s intelligence.

Agnelli discovered the gunpowder: "with the investments of R$ 15 billion of the Company Vale do Rio Doce (CVRD) in Pará up to 2015, it is possible that 1 million people from other States are attracted for lands of the State of Pará. The migrants' crowd will create new infrastructure demands and services to the citizen that they have not been supplied by the Public Power. That can make unfeasible great projects and, in consequence, to lock the economical growth of the Country". There are "great projects that are not viable, because the expenses with what are not made by the Public Power are immense". The social expenses, according to Agnelli, they "tend to be incorporate by the great companies and they endear the projects. The result is the financial return on this side of the expected due to the not execution of obligations on the part of the city halls, state and federal governments”. Poor Vale is having many damages in Pará!

And what saying on the royalties that generate job but they don't guarantee the development? To exemplify, under the title "The economical profile of the municipal district of Parauapebas (Pará) and the social reflexes resultant of the Financial Compensation For The Exploration Of Mineral Resources (FCEMR)", the study brings two important revelations. The first, relative to the estrangement between collection and counting, concluding the research with base in the analysis of the legislation and in official data of National Department of Mineral Production (DNPM), that expressive values stopped being indeed collected by the Company Vale do Rio Doce. Second, regarding the structure of expenses of the municipal district of Parauapebas, it reveals that the destination given to the resources originating from of FCEMR are far away from creating the basic conditions for the social and economical development that inspired its creation. FCEMR, observes the research, it can serve as economical instrument for a politics capable to channel part of the wealth generated by the mining, that is not permanent, for other maintainable forms of wealth, what would lead the area of that continuity to development after the end of the mineral activity. The profile of expenses, however, it is not a little exciting as for the possibility of that to be reached at aim in Parauapebas. On the contrary. The numbers show that, when exhaust the mineral reservations that today are in exploration, the municipal district will be without perspectives of economical growth and probably facing very serious social problems.

In 2010, Pará, that is the seventh largest exporter of Brazil and the fifth in balance of exchange value, it will be able to be generating more than net US$ 8 billion for the national external bills, a contribution that only two or three other units of the federation will also be able to give. But while it almost represents 80% of the value of the paraense international trade, the mineral production has little expressive paper in the formation of the wealth interns. The mining enters now with about 4% of the state income of taxes, thanks to the exemptions and advantages granted by the Union to the exporters of semi-elaborated. Even with five times the value of the production in the decade, the weight of the mining will be of 18% of the tax income in 2010, according to the own government's of the State estimate.

Pará is one of the last ones in Index of Human Development (IHD), even having the second largest territory and the 9th Brazilian population, and it won't advance a lot in that item if it depends on the mineral boom, that it provokes growth but no development. Like this, Pará is predestined to occupy its mineral place subject to the same circumstance of the countries that preceded it in the podium: to be big, without being rich. Another aspect that happens to interrogate: who buys the subsidized electric power for Vale do Rio Doce? I answer: the poor residential consuming. Brazil, particularly Pará, they are among the largest subsidized electric power exporters in the form of ores to the industrialized countries. That’s amazing!

Another punctual critic of Roger Agnelli concerns the bureaucracy around the environmental legislation of the Country. He considers that there is speakers' excess, what hinders the decisions on decisive subjects for economy and the Brazilian development. "To give beginning to a great project it is necessary to explain the same argument more than 60 times. The discussion goes by the city halls, by the environment general offices, by the legislative assemblies, Public prosecution service, by the federal government, social movements and National foundation of the Indian (Funai). He defended although the environmental rules should be applied, but it demands clarity in the procedures and in the discussion with qualified agents that can debate the projects with technical knowledge. We "want to discuss, yes, but with qualified representatives". in other words, for Agnelli the mayors, the aldermen, the environment secretaries, the state deputies, the district attorneys and the federal government's members are all incompetent ones.

Classified as "a year of records", the Company Vale do Rio Doce commemorates the highest value of market of the history, nothing less of the US$ 68,9 billion, registered in the last December 5. In 2006, the gross revenue arrived to US$ 30,054 billion, with a net profit of US$ 10,063 billion and generation of cash of US$ 14,801 billion. Another sum had as positive is the production in Carajás that crossed the 7,8 million tons. In the mat of the optimism, the mining company foresees growth of 14,6% a year in the iron ore production. The estimate is based on the observation starting from 2001, when the Company produced about 133,80 million tons of the input. In 2006, the estimate overcomes the 264 million tons, amount that it can reach the house of the 300 million in 2007.

Another prominence done by Roger Agnelli are the investments in projects of partner-environmental responsibility, according to him a "priority of the company". The numbers of the Vale indicate that in 2006 were invested more of R$ 300 million (won't they fail?). The executive emphasizes that the actions of the Company in the area benefit about 3 million people in 500 municipal districts in Pará, Maranhão, Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro, States in which Vale is installed. Truly, such investments correspond the tiny ones 0,2% of the market value (of US$ 68,9 bi); 0,5% of the gross revenue (of US$ 30,054 bi); 1,4% of the net income (of US$ 10,063 bi), 0,6% of the accumulated investments (of US$ 23,6 bi) and 0,7% of the new acquisitions of companies (of US$ 20,3 bi).

Front to so many "truths" (True Lies), lamentably, it remains us paraenses, from Maranhão, capixabas and cariocas, in Christmas time, to share the daily prayer of Vale do Rio Doce.
