TAKE A LOOK-Ecuador state oil grab

Ecuador on Friday pushed for talks with oil companies over their contracts, a
day after President Rafael Correa sharply raised the government's share of oil
revenue in a signal of more state control over the economy.

Correa, armed with a strong mandate from an election win this week, on
Thursday decreed companies such as Spain's Repsol and Brazil's state-owned
Petrobras to hand over 99 percent of extra oil revenue they earn when oil prices
climb above an agreed benchmark price.
