Update May 2008.
Some attention drawn to the Veolia saga.
In November the Dutch ASN Bank ended its relationship with Veolia.
SEE: ASN letter to Veolia http://electronicintifada.net
The European Jews for a Just Peace voiced their disagreement with Veolia on the issue and French activists protested at Veolia's shareholders meeting this year.
HOWEVER: The French arm of Veolia is to invest $1 billion in Israel
developing "environmental" water projects. SEE: http://www.export.gov.il
The tramline collaboration continues. Israel continues to kill any that stand in their way, including international press personnel.
SEE: Reuters cameraman killed by Israeli tank - direct fire
ALSO: Scotsman : deliberately targeted
Disturbingly "Veolia Environmental" is successfully getting its name know world wide as a nice trustworthy and friendly corporation. It's magazines are to found in the premises of many local and international "green" organisations. It is insidiously selling itself as a worthy and responsible environmental champion.
BELOW: info posted autumn 2006 but still relevant to understanding Veolia.
Lambeth Council waste disposal contact awarded to VEOLIA a corporation collaborating with Israel in the ethnic cleansing and settlement of the West Bank
The first three web sites give all round info about Veolia. Citizen.org has interesting reports on Veolia re corruption and breach of contract. The other sites on Israel and Middle East in general. Note at bottom is from correspondence with Lambeth Cllrs suggesting why the issue should be considered important.

Dear Cllr
Line In The Sand
Some say the line in the sand is the same one that Pastor Neimoler referred to in the 30’s. I haven’t found a convincing argument against that assertion both in relation to Israel and to US and British government policy both at home and abroad.
This time, incredibly, the nation of Jewish tribes, that suffered significantly under the jack boot of Nazism, have occupied another peoples land and have been subjecting them to a slow genocide for 60 years.
Dealing with Veolia sanctifies, endorses and supports Zionism and enables Israel to continue its military campaign to win, by force of arms, lands that Zionists and some Orthodox followers see as the historic lands of the Israelites. That includes the West Bank and Gaza and a lot more land currently parts of present day Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, and Syria.
Regarding apartheid, you will be aware I'm sure of Lambeth's history of anti-racism and links with the struggle against apartheid. These were "lines in the sand" that former Lambeth authorities attempted, quite publicly, not to cross in the 70' 80's etc.
These are difficult questions especially for councilors that have a legal responsibility to a set process in local government.
I hope you will find the enclosed helpful in learning more about the issue and deciding what is a "right, just and honest" response to the take over of Cleanaway by Veloia.
Yours Sincerely John Yates
