Desc	THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE PETROLEUM ADVISORY FORUM (PAF) IS TO PROVIDE ITS MEMBERS WITH INFORMATION PROMOTING THE ADOPTION IN RUSSIA OF LEGISLATION AND REGULATION FAVORABLE TO INVESTMENT. THIS HAS INCLUDED LAWS RELATING TO SUBSOIL LAW AND A TAX REGIME FOR GREEN FIELD PROJECTS. IT HAS ALSO WORKED CLOSELY WITH RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT ENTITIES RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REGULATIONS CONCERNING OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION AND TRANSPORTATION. IN ADDITION, OUR VIEW ON THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF POTENTIAL FOREIGN INVESTORS IN RUSSIA HAS BEEN SOUGHT BY VARIOUS FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS AND INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS. WE SERVE OUR 10 MEMBERS BY SENDING THEM REPORTS ON OUR REGULAR MEETINGS WITH OUR RUSSIAN CONTACTS AND OUR OPINIONS ON VARIOUS DRAFT LAWS AND REGULATIONS. ALTHOUGH NOT MEASURABLE, IN A MATERIAL SENSE, PAF'S ACHIEVEMENTS IN IMPROVING THE CONDITIONS FOR FOREIGN INVESTMENT IN RUSSIAN OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY ARE NONETHELESS RECOGNIZED BY ITS MEMBERSHIP, WHO CONTRIBUTE THEIR ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP FEE.
