Their anti-bribery unit should examine:

1) Abolition by Burke of the Irish Government’s 50% stake in anything found in Ireland by Shell.
2) Abolition of all royalties for Shell in Ireland.

The aims of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development that are being contravened by the Irish Government because of the Burke bribery are:

Not maintaining financial stability because of bribery.
Not contributing to sound economic expansion.
Not complying with international obligations
Not promoting the efficient use of economic resources.

The aims of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (hereinafter called the "Organisation") shall be to promote policies designed:

(c) to contribute to the expansion of world trade on a multilateral, non-discriminatory basis in accordance with international obligations.

Article 2

In the pursuit of these aims, the Members agree that they will, both individually and jointly:

(a) promote the efficient use of their economic resources;
