He also specified Dorin Marian was hired by Marexin at the beginning of this year, after having left the government in December 2008. Marian was, as the head of the premier's chancellery, one of those who signed the government decision approving the additional document between Sterling Resources and the National Agency for Mineral Resources for a contract signed in 1992, allowing the company to exploit the oil and gas reserves of two Black Sea blocks. In his turn, Peter Hamilton was exploration and production vice-president of Rompetrol group, being brought to Marexin team after it got its exploration licence in July, 2008. "Patriciu knew me so he chose me and I say he made a good choice," Hamilton specified.
