BPC accuses Russian media of misrepresentation 28.01.2014 19:39
MINSK, 28 January (BelTA) – Belarusian Potash Company (BPC) accuses Russian mass media of providing distorted information about the company’s operation, reads a statement published on the official website of the company, BelTA has learnt.
“Over the past several months some Russian mass media outlets have misreported on the activities of Belarusian Potash Company. The coverage was biased and speculative. The provocative statements of “undisclosed sources” alleging the company’s attempts to cover up the real situation with sales were based on the port statistics taken out of context. The allegations do not take into account the shipments by containers, by rail and sales from regional warehouses,” the BPC’s statement reads. The company noted that while disclosing its financial results it provides the information on its real sales; this data does not include the export of fertilizers for the subsequent sales from regional warehouses.
Commenting on publications in Russian mass media, Belarusian Potash Company points out that they are based on fragmented reports of unnamed experts and are designed to deliver a blow to the business reputation of Belarusian Potash Company. “Nevertheless, we believe that the inaccurate coverage is first of all detrimental to the reputation of the media outlets that act this way,” the company said. |
