The recent allegations made by Greenpeace that Danzer Group evaded paying taxes in the Republic of Congo and the Democratic Republic of Congo are totally without foundation. They are an absurd, populist gimmick designed to cloud the current public discussion surrounding tax evasion in a misleading Greenpeace report…On numerous occasions Danzer Group has attempted to engage Greenpeace in a constructive, public dialogue in order to discuss relevant matters in detail. Greenpeace has refused to engage in such a dialogue, presumably in an attempt to avoid having to publicly acknowledge the inaccuracy of its reporting.
