В ходе брифинга А. Шаронов выступит перед представителями политических, финансовых и промышленных кругов Лондона. Данный брифинг является одним из серии мероприятий в преддверии Российского Экономического Форума (17-19 апреля 2002).
"A New Age of Economic Reform in Russia"
On the evening of Monday, 4 March, the Russian Economic Forum is
proud to be holding a Briefing and Reception with the Deputy Minister
of Economic Development and Trade of the Russian Federation,
Mr. Andrei Sharonov.
This is a rare visit abroad for Mr. Sharonov, giving London's
financial, corporate and political community, and members of the
press, an unprecedented opportunity to hear from one of Russia's
most influential policy makers, working at the heart of the
country's ambitious reform programme.
Russia's Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, headed by
German Gref, has been the main player in designing, guiding and
implementing the reform process in Russia. This has covered a
vast range of initiatives, such as tax and pension reform, and
PSA legislation, and the Ministry is central to the negotiations
regarding key issues of foreign trade, including such vital questions
as Russia's accession to the WTO and Russia-EU relations.
Mr. Sharonov concentrates heavily on energy-related issues, and
he plays a key role in the restructuring of Russia's three main
natural monopolies (Gazprom, the electricity network, and the
Railways). In all three cases, the two key issues are tariff adjustment
and internal restructuring, and Mr. Sharonov played an important
part in presenting the government's decisions on tariff increases
in December-January.
This event is being organised as part of the ongoing programme of
events leading up to the Russian Economic Forum, which takes
place this year at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre on
17 - 19 April.
A brief biography and photo of Mr. Sharonov is available at
www.ru2uk.com, along with further details on the Forum.
The briefing will commence at 6:30 pm, and will take place in
the historic Gladstone Library of One Whitehall Place, which is the
home of the National Liberal Club.
The evening is being supported by United Financial Group and the
Confederation of British Industry (CBI).
Participation is GBP 50 (incl. UK VAT), including buffet dinner and
drinks reception.
Participation is complimentary for delegates already registered for the
Russian Economic Forum, or anyone who registers by Friday 1 March.
Special delegate discount rate of 10% also expires on the 1st.
