                        I am truly shocked and saddened to learn that Christian has passed away. I worked very closely with Christian throughout my time at Concawe and, in particular, he was of enormous help during the design and execution of the merger with Europia.
I always appreciated his strong views, very clearly expressed, even if I didn't always agree with them. He provided me with an invaluable source of ideas and feedback from our membership, both directly and through his leading role on the Scientific Council.
In fact, he was such an important contributor that I would often seek out his views, myself, before they were even offered to me!
My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and Shell colleagues at this most difficult time. 
I would like to express my sincere condolences and to state that he was one of the most important and talented contributors to Concawe, during my time as Secretary-General and I am sure this importance has continued since then.
Michael
