Working together for future of Scotland's oil and gas sector
Partnership working is 'crucial' for future of North Sea sector, says Carmichael.
Tomorrow바카라 사이트™s meeting with major figures in the oil and gas industry will form a major part of the UK 바카라 사이트바카라 사이트™s on-going work to support the sector even further, Scottish Secretary Alistair Carmichael said today.
Chaired by the UK 바카라 사이트 and attended by Oil and Gas UK, representatives from over a dozen major oil and gas companies as well as the Scottish 바카라 사이트, PILOT facilitates the partnership between the UK oil and gas industry, and government to help secure the sector바카라 사이트™s long-term future
Mr Carmichael said:
PILOT has been the vehicle for many of our great success stories in one of our most vital industries, from attracting global investment into Scotland through to preparing our future oil and gas workforce. Bringing together 바카라 사이트 with the major oil and gas figures in this country is crucial now more than ever for encouraging future investment and ensuring a bright future for the sector right through the supply chain.
Tomorrow바카라 사이트™s meeting and the visit by the Energy Secretary to Aberdeen on Thursday will form an important part of our on-going work to build on what we have done in recent weeks to support the Oil and Gas sector. This includes the package of allowances and tax reliefs as part of the Autumn Statement and the on-going implementation of the Wood Review.
The remit of PILOT is partnership working and I hope this is the frame of mind which the Scottish 바카라 사이트 will approach tomorrow바카라 사이트™s meeting - willing to listen to what the industry has to say rather than coming armed with a list of grievances. We are willing to listen to the Scottish 바카라 사이트 but equally they have substantial powers at their disposal on areas such as enterprise, education and skills and infrastructure investment 바카라 사이트“ all crucial for the future of the oil and gas sector and which I hope they will seek to use.
