Also I've got a subcontractor that I've worked with before.

Niigata states that it engaged subcontractors for work on the Basrah Refinery Complex project.

If an enterprise (general contractor) which has undertaken the performance of a comprehensive project, subcontracts parts of such a project to other enterprises (subcontractors), the period spent by a subcontractor working on the building site must be considered as being spent by the general contractor on the building project.

After the subcontractors had completed their work, they allegedly requested Niigata to proceed with the re-export formalities.

Local industries manufacturing for export or working as subcontractors for multinational companies have similarly terrible working conditions.

The authors draw attention to paragraph 19, eighth sentence, of the OECD Commentary which reads: “If an enterprise (general contractor) which has undertaken the performance of a comprehensive projects subcontracts parts of such a project to other enterprises (subcontractors), the period spent by a subcontractor working on the building site must be considered as being time spent by the general contractor on the building project” (emphasis added).

The subcommittee draws attention to paragraph 19, eighth sentence, of the OECD commentary, which reads: “If an enterprise (general contractor) which has undertaken the performance of a comprehensive project subcontracts parts of such a project to other enterprises (subcontractors), the period spent by a subcontractor working on the building site must be considered as being time spent by the general contractor on the building project” (emphasis added). This exact wording is reflected in the United Nations commentary, paragraph 11, second indention.

DDPI states that it is the legal successor to a subcontractor that performed work on the contract and that has since gone into bankruptcy.

With regard to the claims by subcontractors or suppliers described in paragraph 83 above, the Panel, applying previous determinations made by this and the “E2A” Panel, finds that, where a supplier or a subcontractor's loss is determined to have been a direct result of Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait, such a loss is compensable provided that the circumstances of the claim do not indicate that the main contractor has received payment from the party with whom it contracted with respect to the subcontractor's work that is the subject of the claim.

The figures of 100,000 private contractors working in Iraq on United States contracts, given by the United States Central Command, would include neither subcontractors nor contractors working for other clients.
