According to La Lettre du Continent, the termination of Veolia's contract in Gabon should move towards business courts.
The legal argument that Veolia will use is that the Gabonese state has lacked planning and public policies, and has stranded SEEG financially by not paying its obligations amounting to 36 billion CFA francs (54 million €).
