I don't for a minute believe I'm misinterpreting the article. Reconstruction costs will be payed for by Iraqi oil not coalition funds, and who wouldn't want in on the action.
They want to keep their contracts and agreements, they want to keep their companies plugged into the Iraqi economy.
If the UN is administering reconstruction then it's a safe bet that all countries will be represented in reconstruction. If the coalition or a coalition installed government administers reconstruction, the non-coalition EU countries won't be making much money in Iraq for a while.
