Professor Karel van Miert passes away
Anglo American is saddened to hear the news that Professor Karel van Miert, a
Director of the Board since 2002, passed away on June 22.
Sir Mark Moody-Stuart, Chairman of Anglo American plc, said:
"We are deeply shocked and saddened by the news of Karel`s death. Fellow Board
members will miss his quiet but persistent approach to issues, and his sense of
humour. We have lost a good friend and have sent our condolences to his wife
Carla and the family.
Karel`s long experience first as a member of the European Parliament and then
for ten years as a member of the European Commission meant he brought tremendous
knowledge of government, regulatory and competition issues that Anglo American
needs to address in our business. He also took a lively interest in all Board
matters and was involved in the audit, nomination and safety and sustainable
development committees, bringing the experience of the many other major boards
on which he served. He will be sorely missed."
