Central and Eastern Europe chemicals industry call for ideas

I'm currently planning a special issue of ICIS Chemical Business magazine focussed on the central and eastern Europe and Russian chemicals industry. Please send me any good ideas for articles to explore this fascinating region.
I'm thinking about CEO interviews, Poland privatisation update, BorsodChem, Spolchemie, Russian chemical projects update and much more.

Francois Vleugels to run Spolchemie

Francois Vleugels, the driving force behind the modernisation of Czech Unipetrol, is to become the new CEO of Czech chemical group Spolchemie. This is good news for the fellow whose abrupt departure from Unipetrol raised a few eyebrows.

I interviewed Vleugels at 2008's European Petrochemical Association (EPCA) meeting in Monte Carlo. He told me candidly about his frustration at the political interference in Unipetrol's parent group, OKN Orlen.
