In 2013, the income was located at 56,609 million dollars per petrodollars and after the measures against our country began in the Obama administration, there you see the impact, all the measures against Petróleos de Venezuela, SA (PDVSA)”, as well as to allied international companies, which has left “an income of 477 million”.
