Dr Peter Eigen, Chairman of the EITI and founder of Transparency International, was interviewed by Jonathan Charles on the BBC news programme HARDtalk. He spoke about what has happened in the combat against corruption of the past years, and about how the EITI can reduce corruption in the extractive sector by improving disclosing of payments and bringing government, companies and civil society to the table.
