(http://www.usaspending.gov/explore?carryfilters=on&fromfiscal=yes&tab=By+Recipient&fiscal_year=2009&contractorid=257306&tab=By+Recipient&fiscal_year=&fromfiscal=yes&carryfilters=on&Submit=Go); Nokia and Siemens created the jointly-owned subsidiary in 2006, merging their respective network infrastructure divisions. The 50/50 joint venture is incorporated in the Netherlands and headquartered in Finland (Ovum, “Siemens and Nokia to merge network infrastructure divisions,” 6/19/2006). (http://www.ovum.com/go/content/c,64929); "An imprisoned Iranian activist [Isa Saharkhiz] is suing Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) over allegations that the telecommunications company provided the Islamic regime with a monitoring system it used to spy on the opposition Green movement.... Saharkhiz, who is still in detention, discovered during his interrogation in Tehran's Evin prison that his whereabouts were revealed when security officials listened in to his mobile phone conversations using technology NSN allegedly sold to Iran, his son Mehdi told the Guardian." (The Guardian, "Iranain activist sues telecom firm over 'spying system,'" 8/24/2010) (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/aug/24/iranian-sues-nokia-siemens-networks); Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) is a multinational telecommunications, hardware, software, and services company working with communication system providers in 150 countries (Company Website. “About Us”).

The company spokesman also said that “Forty million people in Iran have gotten cellphones over the last couple of years.” Between 2000 and March 2010, Nokia Siemens received $21.5 million in U.S. federal funds (The New York Times, “Profiting from Iran, and the U.S.”, 3/6/10). (http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/03/06/world/iran-sanctions.html); On June 22, 2009, amidst the post-election unrest in Iran, The Wall Street Journal reported that in 2008, the Nokia Siemens Networks had sold equipment to Iran that contributed to the Iranian regime’s ability to monitor and censor Internet, voice and mobile communications.
The “monitoring center [Lawful Interception Gateway (LIG)],” sold to the government’s telecommunications monopoly TCI (Telecommunications Company of Iran), intrinsically provides the regime “the capability to intercept any communications that runs over them.” The equipment also has lawful uses, such as “intercepting data for the purposes of combating terrorism, child pornography, drug trafficking and other criminal activities carried out online.”
Reportedly, the Iranian government began to make extensive use of this technology during the post-election unrest. The regime likely used the equipment to perform “deep packet inspections,” allowing the government to monitor online communications such emails, Internet phone calls, Facebook, Twitter, Instant Messaging, etc (The Wall Street Journal, “Iran's Web Spying Aided By Western Technology,” 6/22/09). (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124562668777335653.html#mod); Nokia Market Head for Middle East and Africa, Amr K. El-Leithy, identified Iran as one of the Middle Eastern markets that Nokia was looking to develop. (The Daily News, “Nokia focuses on LTE, development of government services to increase market share: Nokia Market Head for Middle East and Africa,” 4/5/2016).

In a letter to its staff in Iran, the Helsinki-based joint venture cited toughening global sanctions against Iran that 'make it almost impossible for Nokia Siemens Networks to do business with Iranian customers.' The Wall Street Journal obtained a copy of the letter... The action by the company—a joint venture between Nokia Corp. and Siemens AG—ramps up economic pressure on Iran, which has a growing mobile-phone industry that the government controls... An article on page one of the Journal in October documented the growth in Huawei's business in Iran after Western companies, including NSN, pulled back following the government's bloody crackdown on its citizens two years ago... In its letter, NSN said there were "serious concerns" over whether the shareholding structures of some of its Iranian customers meant the venture was prohibited from doing business with them under international sanctions. NSN said it was monitoring the situation 'continuously.'... It also said that sanctions on financial institutions have made it difficult for NSN to transfer money out of Iran for about a year... NSN, which has about 400 employees in Iran, announced last month it would cut nearly a quarter of its global work force of 74,000 in a broad restructuring to focus on mobile broadband... The venture came under fire in 2009 after Siemens disclosed that NSN had provided Iran's largest telecom, government-owned Telecommunications Co. of Iran, with a monitoring center capable of intercepting and recording voice calls on its mobile networks... NSN had also provided network equipment to TCI's mobile-phone operator, as well as another operator, MTN Irancell, that permitted interception... NSN sold its global monitoring-center business in March 2009. The company also established a human-rights policy to reduce the potential for abuse of its products."

We also provided some services to local fixed networks operators, Telecommunication Company of Iran (TCI) and, additionally, in 2019, we purchased certain fixed line telephony services from TCI and mobile phone subscriptions from MCCI.; In 2017 the U.S. state of Michigan listed Nokia as an Iran restricted company rendering Nokia ineligible for investment and/or state contracting.

The MoU was signed in connection to the President of Finland Mr. Sauli Niinistö’s recent visit to Iran. With this agreement, both parties agree to cooperate on the development of decentralized power generation in Iran, including power plant operations and maintenance services and related liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure. Wärtsilä will provide relevant expertise and resources to support IDRO in its objective to improve the infrastructure and develop the Iranian industry. In a second phase this cooperation will be extended to the marine sector and the Iranian shipping industry... “With this agreement, Wärtsilä is showing its commitment to support the development of the Iranian industry and power generation sector, on the basis of a mutually beneficial relationship,” says Javier Cavada, President of Wärtsilä Energy Solutions."

The fund plans to divest out of $86 million in Gazprom (OGZPY), Inpex (1605.TO), Lukoil (LUKOY), Oil And Natural Gas Corp (500312.BY), OMV (OMVKY), Petroleo Brasilia (PBR), Statoil (STO), Wartsila OYJ and Sinopec Corp. DiNapoli said the firms were chosen because "they failed to respond or we were not satisfied with their responses" when asked to provide information to the fund on the investments and their risks. (Wall Street Journal, "NY Comptroller To Divest $86.2M In State Pension Fund Investments," 6/30/09) (http://www.dipity.com/timeline/Divestment); From 2000-2009, the company was the recipient of $95.4 million US federal funds. Their business in Iran is currently active. (The New York Times, "Profiting from Iran, and the US", 3/6/2010) (http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/03/06/world/iran-sanctions.html); "The technology group Wärtsilä will supply engineering and equipment deliveries for two baseload power plants to Iranian energy companies Baran Niroo Beshel Co. and Tamin Niroo Saam Co. This is a breakthrough project as Wärtsilä is supplying the first decentralised power plants of its kind to Iran, showing results from our efforts to support the Iranian power generation market in its transition towards more flexible and smarter technologies." (July 2017)
(https://globenewswire.com/news-release/2017/07/10/1041985/0/en/Wärtsilä-to-supply-two-gas-power-plants-to-Iran.html); "UANI (United Against Nuclear Iran, a US-based organisation that seeks to prevent Iran acquiring a nuclear weapons capability) has called on Wärtsilä to end its, according to UANI, 'irresponsible' business activities. UANI says that Wärtsilä, through its agents and licensees, provides technology and marine diesel engines to Chinese shipbuilders that are currently building oil tankers for the Iranian regime. It says that: 'Wärtsilä’s activities are of particular concern given that the international community is attempting to isolate Iran via its shipping industry, and new tankers greatly assist the regime in attempting to overcome such efforts.' In a letter to Wärtsilä President & CEO, Björn Rosengren, UANI CEO, Ambassador Mark D. Wallace, wrote: 'Earlier this year, UANI launched its Shipping Campaign to compel international shippers, classification societies, P&I clubs and governments worldwide to cease their [Iran] business…In response to UANI’s campaign, members of the International Association of Classification Societies…ceased their classification of Iranian vessels... For example, Wärtsilä has reportedly supplied engines for IRISL vessels, and stated that it maintains an agent in Iran to handle future business with power plant and shipbuilding clients.' The letter mentions Wärtsilä’s involvement in 12 VLCCs being built in China for NITC. It says: 'Put simply, Wärtsilä is assisting the Iranian regime’s development of its most lucrative economic sector, the revenues from which go directly to fund the regime’s nefarious activities, including its nuclear program. In addition, Wärtsilä’s business in Iran includes a partnership with the Iran Heavy Diesel Engine Mfg Co... Wärtsilä’s apparent partnership with DESA is clearly unacceptable.' Wärtsilä has been requested to reply to the letter by 21 December, making its intentions clear with respect to its dealings with Iran." (The Motorship, "Wärtsilä under fire in US over Iran links," 12/19/2012) (http://www.motorship.com/news101/industry-news/wartsila-under-fire-in-us-over-iran-links); "Wartsila Corporation, a Finnish manufacturer of ship engines, has built power plants in Iran and in 2002 supplied engines for Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Line (IRISL) container ships. IRISL is a state-owned shipping company which was later blacklisted by the United States for facilitating the transfer of military cargo to Iran. Wartsila also has received federal contracts to provide, among others, engine parts to the Coast Guard. A Wartsila spokesman, Atte Palomaki, said that the company operates in full compliance with sanctions, as it did when it supplied engines to a German shipyard building IRISL ships. "At that time IRISL was not on any blacklist," he said, adding that since then the company has not supplied IRISL with any engines, nor would it because of the blacklisting. He said the company does have an agent in Iran who is paid on a commission basis to service other power plant and shipbuilding customers, but characterized the company's sales efforts there as a "minor activity." As the United States lobbies for tough new sanctions, Mr. Palomaki said Wartsila is keeping a watchful eye on the situation and its business in Iran: "We have concerns in the sense that the U.S. Navy is an important customer for us," he said. "We want to be very careful." |
