加拿大矿业公司加布里埃尔资源挑战“报复性”罗马尼亚士丹内斯索赔

加拿大资源公司加布里埃尔资源有限公司已表示,它将“大力挑战”罗马尼亚税务机关,ANAF发布的增值税评估,它表示与其决定开始对罗马尼亚政府开始仲裁诉讼的决定。

On June 30, 2017, Gabriel confirmed that it had filed a statement of claim against Romania before the World Bank’s International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes, accusing the country of breaching the terms of its bilateral investment treaties with Canada and the United Kingdom, and claiming USD5.7bn in compensation to cover losses it incurred as a result of Romania’s actions.

Just days later, on July 6, the Toronto Stock Exchange-listed firm announced that ANAF had served its Romanian subsidiary, Rosia Montana Gold Corporation S.A., with a RON27m (USD6.8m) VAT assessment, relating to VAT previously claimed and received by RMGC in respect of its purchase of goods and services from July 2011 to January 2016.

然而,加布里埃尔答复说,它将增值税评估视为“从根本上缺陷和辱骂”,即在公司提出的......仲裁罗马尼亚仲裁之后即将到来的报复。“

该公司表示,ANAF于2016年7月结束的先前增值税审计评估了大约相同金额的责任,但“由RMGC成功地挑战并部分地被ANAF撤销”。

声明说:“加布里埃尔和RMGC将大力挑战这一决定。

Jonathan Henry, Gabriel’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “The company believes that the VAT assessment is without merit, enacted by ANAF alongside other actions with an overarching purpose to intimidate Gabriel, RMGC, and their personnel and to frustrate the company’s pursuit of its international arbitration case against Romania. The fact that the VAT assessment has been received immediately after the company has filed the ICSID arbitration claim of USD5.7bn against Romania is not a coincidence; we see this as completely abusive and retaliatory.”

加布里埃尔表示,增值税评估是在2017年8月5日支付的,尽管RMGC截至2017年8月21日,向ANAF提供行政上诉,“它充分打算追求。”
