Dépèche transmise le 30 juillet 2009 par Business Wire

JAMAICA, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Janel World Trade, Ltd. (OTC Bulletin Board: JLWT), a full-service global provider of integrated logistics and environmental services, today announced that James Jannello, CEO of Janel World Trade, Ltd., and Paul McCreary, President of Janel’s Environmental Projects Division, accompanied by Paul Weiss of BKSH & Associates, successfully completed a series of meetings with members of the New York Congressional delegation in Washington, D.C..

“We spoke frankly to the delegation members about the significant opportunity Janel and its consortium members have presented to The World Bank, and officials in the Wuxi/Lake Tai region in China, to assist the Chinese in improving the well-publicized environmental conditions in Lake Tai,” said Paul McCreary. We told the delegation that "The opportunities for American environmental services, products and technology in China are enormous, and that we need the commitment of the U.S. government to insure our products and services can compete on a level playing field in China.” Mr. Jannello told the delegation that “China has accumulated a $2.2 trillion cash reserve, and it was time that the U.S. government supports companies like Janel, so we can bring some of our money back home.” “We felt the members clearly understood and embraced our message,” said Jannello. “President Obama has rightly suggested that the U.S. and the world will gain from the exportation of U.S. capabilities in environmental restoration and protection, and our project well supports this position.”
