GMG - Press Conference on "Sigma Trade Pact"

[ProwlerPC]

Ah, Konnichiwa my good frineds from Liberty, Guild Master Raikoke here.

You bring up a very good topic and I'm very glad you brought that up so that way we can clear up the air on our product and it's wide availability.

First of all I'd like to correct everyone about GMG fuel and Rheinland. Rheinland has always received GMG fuel. The source in Frankfurt wasn't sufficient for Rheinland's needs nearly 200 years ago and that fact is more poignant today. Following the Eighty Year War, and despite it, GMG continued to provide fuel to Rheinland through our business contracts with Kusari distributors. There is a very strong reason why this is so.

I want everyone here to realize that we take our fuel industry very seriously. We may seem like the greedy monsters holding a monopoly on an essential comodity of the day to day lives in Sirius. But I assure you all that we fully comprehend the necessity to have fuel to transport the basic needs to people on various planets and stations devoid of such necessities. We know of the responsibility that is needed to ensure that every government and it's people have the necessary fuel they need, when they need it and at an affordable price so they may use it.

In the not so distant past the distribution contract for GMG was solely with Kishiro. Kishiro distributed to Kusari, Liberty and to Mainz on Rheinland. With wars occuring Bretonnia was required to gain their fuel through middle sources in Liberty and Rhienland. Now currently, thanks to our rich new deposits in the Mintaka Field and mass production from Miura underway, GMG is experiencing an industrial growth. With the new treaty signed between GMG and Rheinland it allows RepEx to help GMG expand on it's supply line to better accomadate our growth and to help ensure the needs of others.

I would like to take this moment to let you know that it's about reopening our borders as well as providing distribution rights to one of it's companies. Assessment, quotas, projected volumes is still handled by us and remains unaffected. Such matters are not subect to politics but is at the mercy of our production rate as well as the population needs and consumption of Sirius. Such matter are not subject to the whims of war commanders either. It is unfortunate that Sirius is rife in conflict and that the fuel we send out gets used up in some war effort. We do factor in the needs of defence in our projected quotas but all nations are wise to ensure that all isn't squandered in war, that maintaining a national budget is necessary. We are reaching a golden era in our growth but there is still a limit to what we can produce yearly for the rising demand and we will not sacrifice the lives of one for another. We leave that for politicians to decide with their budgets.

That being said, our production rates have increased and this new expansion on our supply lines with a second distribution contract will help make sure that what we produce you all can use.

Arigato
