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 15 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, Petroleum Advisory Forum'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. 1081251 false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 0 false true RS false false false false X 15 15 false false false false true true false true true true false false false false false false false false X VLADIMIR KONOVALOV 4959563714 SPIRIDONOVKA 16 APT 1 MOSCOW RS 123001 Per Einar Evenson Director 1.0 0.0 X Ilya Lysenko Director 1.0 0.0 X Andrew McGrahan Director/Vice President 1.0 0.0 X X David Farthing Director 1.0 0.0 X Gunnar Castberg Director 1.0 0.0 X Glenn Waller Director/President 1.0 0.0 X X Luiciano Vasques Vice-President/Director 1.0 0.0 X Kihara Eiji Director 1.0 0.0 X Erik Gulbrandsen Director 1.0 0.0 X Fernando Martinez-Fresneda Moreno Director 1.0 0.0 X Jan Helge Skogen Director 1.0 0.0 X Yuri Ampilov Director 1.0 0.0 X Igor Ignatiev Director 1.0 0.0 X Jacques de Boisseson Director/Vice President 1.0 0.0 X X Andreas Boeldt Director 1.0 0.0 X Roberto Daniele Director (terminated 1/30/14) 1.0 0.0 X Marco Fragale Director (terminated 12/30/13) 1.0 0.0 X VLADIMIR KONOVALOV EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.0 0.0 X 520400 0 11300 520400 0 11300 1 false true false 0 997500 997500 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 997500 0 0 0 0 543000 0 295017 46980 30979 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 35758 0 22097 0 0 73359 8883 0 0 0 0 10482 0 ENTERTAINMENT 3310 BOOKS 5938 FOOD 2959 SUBSCRIPTIONS 2195 294 1081251 391903 318634 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 157365 136673 31174 20692 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 423077 339326 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 391903 318634 31174 20692 0 0 423077 339326 423077 339326 -83751 X false false false 157365 136673 20692 20692 Russia and the Newly Independent States 1 10 Program Services See Part V 1081252 1 10 1 10 1081252 1081252 false false false false false false Schedule F, Part 1, Line 3(e) Purposes, tasks and program service activities of the Representative Office in Russia: 1.
