Why does the Internal Revenue Service want to collect 300 times more than what has been paid by the other banana exporters in the year 2005?
Although all the banana exporters have paid, on average, of revenue taxes of $80,000, the internal revenue service wants Exportadora Bananera Noboa to pay us $90,000,000. Is that not political persecution?
Is that not discrimination? Neither they, nor us, deserve this persecution.
Gentlemen of the IRS, how are you going to explain this to Ecuador and to the world? We have hardly protested when we receive notice of audits for the years 2007, 2008, and 2009. Why are the other exporters not audited?
Could it be that you want to bankrupt us and take away our jobs? |

Statements by the director general of the internal revenue service, Carlos Marx, are false, given that the action of tributary determination dictated by the second court of the fiscal tribunal against the Exportadora Bananero Noboa S.A. has not been executed. Therefore it is impossible to collect the taxes that he supposes the Noboa Banana Exporters S.A. owes.

history you have had. At one time you were the center

place where all the young and all the political, economic

have toured all of the country. I am convinced that
I am going to make it to the second round. Esmeraldas,
Manabí, Los Ríos, Guayas and everyone
says that I am there, as they say in Ecuador, breathing
down Correa’s neck. I want the 14 million Ecuadorians
to take courses in night school and if they only have
a primary [education] that they become technicians.
We need to bring businesses to all of Ecuador and in
order for those businesses to come here to Ecuador,
business taxes have to be reduced from 25% to 10%; there
has to be juridical security; the country has to remain
dollarized, and in that way we can make a new country.
And we have to unite the left and the right, all for
a new country, with production by the right and social
justice by the left. |

I won the elections in `98 and they vilely robbed it

lying governments. I would like to draw the Ecuadorian´s
attention, I would like you to know that, yes, you can.
That, yes, I can help you to become a technician or
a professional; that, yes, you can have a cement house;
that, yes, you can have a car. It depends on you, Ecuadorian,
that you wake up this April 26th and that you make hope

you make “yes” the fashion, that you make

that there are millions of houses with a green flag,
but the house carries on without water, the house carries
on without sewer systems, and the street in which the
house is, continues to be unpaved. What are you laughing

SPEECH
OF COUNSELOR NOBOA BEFORE MEMBERS OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY
Ecuadorians, we have come here to an interview with
the delegates of the European Community in order to
present our complaint with regards to the electoral
process. The first is the disproportion that exists
between the amount of publicity and the number of times
that Rafael Correa appears on television. Second point:
he doesn’t accept debates. Third, space for publicity
is so small that it has allowed only those already known
candidates to stand out. Fourth, in an abuse of power,
he has just created a draft assessment to threaten us
with, and in this way, me, as presidential candidate,
in the moment in which Bananera Noboa is going bankrupt
so as to try to bankrupt me. |

I
want to tell Ecuadorians once more that with Álvaro

the voucher is because in the last two years the average
cost of living for a family has reached $550, and with
the $30 that the people are receiving at the moment,
the voucher doesn’t cover anything.
I am going to come to Manabí as many times as

SPEECH
OF ÁLVARO NOBOA DURING HIS TOUR OF CARCHI
There are two fundamental areas
for the development of this province: this province
should become a Duty Free zone where national and
international investment can be fomented. The Ecuadorian
crisis has a first and last name called Rafael Correa.
It’s not called a global crisis. The Ecuadorian
crisis has nothing to do with the failure of mortgages
in the United States or Europe. It is a product of
the waste of money that came from petroleum last year
and was not invested in the country as it should have
been. The Ecuadorian crisis is due to having closed
the doors to international investors and to Ecuadorian
investors that would come here to Ecuador.
