if you go to mozambique and you visit the to the foreign ministry, one of the first things to notice is that this roof is a pagoda saddle roof. that's pretty consistent with the deep political relationship and long-standing political relationship that china has with mozambique. the biggest thing going in resource royalties dates as natural gas. but if you were to have gone there a year ago, you would not see any chinese presence of the natural gas actor. why? because there is still this technological edge that a lot of western companies have been the ability to do serious exploration and a lot of resource areas of the chinese companies still don't bring. today you've got one of the big chinese oil companies buying and to part of that development, bringing capital. but they're still not operators. no matter how deep the political relationship is come you don't have the technology and capacity to produce a particular resource and that political connection is with a limited amount. i think you see that repeatedly and it's important not to overstate how much china can do by itself. secon

mozambique, mainly africa but not just africa.ond, we are planning even to sell some of these resources in order to monetize now a stream of cash flow in the future. third, we have to restructure our european businesses because what ever we have in europe is in trouble. as a consequence of the economic situation in europe. >> what do you mean by -- that? >> for example, refining. we have to shut down refineries because of capacity. think. i give you a number which is quite impressive. in italy condescension of oil products, gasoline and diesel, is 25% lower than it was in 2008. now, we have to react to this drop in demand, cutting capacity. >> give me a sense of li bya. you are one of the companies that is most present in libya. do you find the situation they are easier to work and that was six months ago? >> the short answer is no, but let me tell you, for us libya is a very important place. 12% of our oil comes from libya. we are by far the biggest producer in the country. we have been there forever. addafi we time of g were in
