A publication by the Economic Research Center, Baku, Azerbaijan, Scientific editor: Vugar Bayramov, Technical editor: Samir Aliyev
This publication encompasses the survey on the Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (EITI) campaign with funding from the Open Society Institute - Assistance Foundation (OSI-AF).
A Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2004 by the National Commission aimed at improving the Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (EITI), the NGO coalition established to show strong support for this campaign, as well as a variety of local and foreign extractive sector companies, has led to greater co-operation since then.
This book represents approaches to problems made by three groups that have signed the Memorandum of Understanding and their attitudes to one another. These approaches rest on the analysts' opinions and estimates, and they might not overlap with ERC's position. Given this principle based on criteria, such as independence and objectivity, the respect for opinions voiced by the economic analysts representing both sides has been a priority during the authors' assessments and comments on survey results.
