C5 Company is pleased to announce the dates for the 9th ?nternational forum "Russian Power" - one of the key event in the industry calendar.

Completion of the transitional phase of restructuring has revealed an unprecedented range of issues related to operating in the environment of "liberalised market". Hardly deteriorated infrastructure and significant losses in electricity transmission, as well as low levels of efficiency and technical security of power plants call for urgent modernization of the entire industry.

This high-level event will bring together top industry professionals, regulators, representatives of energy companies and the financial sector to discuss the most controversial issues facing the industry today:

How to operate and develop in a regulated "free market"

Reducing risks and uncertainty of investment in innovation

Development of "smart grids": how to assess return on investment and technological benefits from the launch of "smart technologies"?

Developing effective energy storage opportunities for the national power network

RAB-regulation and "manual market regulation": electricity tariffs and prices for gas, how to reconcile interests of producers and consumers

Changes in the current model of the Power market. The legislative changes: implication for the electricity sector

Energy distribution: overcoming issues of nonpayment, infrastructural problems of housing and public utilities, development of small-scale power generation

Reduced reliability and efficiency of electricity generation and distribution

Insurance of power plants: How to hedge risks in the context of increasing crashes? How to choose a reliable insurance company?

Long Term Gas Supply Contracts

C5 (UK) — Wed 13 Jun 2012

Berlin | In the uncertain economic landscape of the European gas market, purchasing utilities are facing adverse trading terms throughout their portfolios. The divergence of oil and gas prices continues at a pace with no sign of abatement. These market conditions have led to those functioning under oil-indexed long term gas supply contracts being obliged to buy high and sell low, crippling profit margins and placing them in jeopardy.

Many utilities simply cannot afford to continue to operate under these constraints, placing immense pressure on the trading relationships between them and their suppliers as each stand their ground; leading to intricate pricing disputes. In recent months a few industry players have successfully sought renegotiation of their long term gas supply contracts in an attempt to level the playing field.

C5's second annual "Commercial and Legal Strategies for Negotiating Long Term Gas Supply Contracts" conference has been fully researched and redeveloped to ensure the latest tactics, tips and techniques required for successful contract negotiation are all presented. We have assembled the leading industry figures from all streams to provide their in-depth evaluation of the contractual provisions, re-negotiation strategies and arbitral issues that are critical in the European gas market today. 2012's hot topics that will include:

Assessing the current and future climate of long term gas supply contracts

Negotiating price revision

Negotiation when contractual rules are silent

Commercial considerations to circumvent contractual disputes

Dispute resolution through mediation and arbitration

Improving efficiency and predictability of arbitration

Baseball arbitration

Assessing the global gas market trends

The impact of the global energy market dynamic on price

Effective drafting of future long term contracts

The importance of governing law in gas contracts

This conference brings together experts from all streams to focus and reveal their industry know-how on the fundamental issues affecting the European gas market today. Anyone involved in the negotiation or renegotiation of long term gas supply contracts simply cannot afford to overlook this opportunity to prepare their armory and safeguard their company's market position.

Last year's conference was oversubscribed, so confirm now to avoid disappointment as availability of delegate seats is strictly limited.

Anti-Corruption West Africa

C5 (UK) — Tue 19 Jun 2012

Accra |

The Western African region (including Nigeria, Ghana, the Ivory Coast, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon) is characterised as much for its rampant corruption and bribery as it is for its abundance of natural oil and gas resources. This high perceived risk acts as a big deterrent in the way of foreign direct investment in the region and from those investment that are made, very little of it benefits the local general economy. The risks of investing and operating in this region are heightened by the implementation of the tough new UK Bribery Act and the continued aggressive enforcement of the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") particularly in West Africa.

As a recent example, in January 2012, as a result of US Department of Justice investigations under the FCPA, Japanese conglomerate Marubeni Corp. agreed to pay US $54.6 million in criminal fines for its role in the Bonny Island scandal to win billions of dollars of contracts by bribing Nigerian government officials.

Adding to these international compliance pressures company's must keep abreast of existing and pending regional anti-corruption and bribery legislative frameworks across West Africa. Although enforcement of these regimes remains an issue in many West African countries, Nigeria has demonstrated a willingness to cooperate with international authorities in prosecutions against the members of the TKSJ joint venture.

Foreign companies looking to do business or invest in West Africa and local companies listed on foreign stock exchanges or with ties to foreign companies must establish and maintain resilient anti-corruption compliance policies to avoid intrusive government investigations, significant fines and in some cases, jail terms. No industry will escape scrutiny in this region.

Having developed successful industry-leading Anti-Corruption events across the USA, Europe and in South Africa, brings together a leading faculty of experienced in-house and private practice lawyers, compliance executives and government officials from across the region and internationally, who will provide the latest strategies to facilitate compliance with West-African, US and UK anti-corruption laws and mitigate damages should a violation occur.

Key topics and debates include:

Understanding the applicability of the FCPA and UK Bribery Act on West African business and where the laws conflict
Latest developments in local anti-corruption laws across West Africa and key enforcement priorities of the US, UK and West African agencies
The latest techniques for building and maintaining anti-corruption compliance policies used by leading multinational companies
Navigating specific fraud, bribery and corruption risks when working within local content requirements across the region
Conducting effective third party risk-based due diligence to control and minimise liability risks when operating in developing African nations with limited resources
Establishing effective internal whistle-blowing and investigation procedures to help ensure the safety of investigators in high security risk areas
Balancing compliance with regional and international anti-corruption laws with cultural traditions and expectations of gift giving, hospitality and entertainment

The liberalization of international trade regulation and the accession of Russia into the WTO are designed to increase cargo turnover of Russian ports and significantly influence development of the entire port industry.

According to the Ministry of Transport, cargo turnover in Russian seaports is expected to grow by 46% by 2016 compared to 2010 and will total 770 million tons. However, according to estimations, the capacity of Russian seaports by 2016 will amount to only 15% of the total reserve. As a result, market participants face the problem of balancing the development of the entire logistics infrastructure in order to increase the turnover capacity of the transport sector.

"RUB 430 bn. will be invested in the development of the port industry by 2015, RUB 300 bn. of which will come from non-budgetary funds" , Igor Levitin, Minister, Ministry of Transport of Russia

Growth of world trade is almost inevitable in the long term, but is Russia's transport infrastructure ready for a new economic boom? The Russian ports industry is facing the challenge of preparing for post-crisis growth in trade volumes but preparation should be taking place now.

C5's 5th International Forum "Russian Ports" will bring together senior Government officials, port operators, stevedoring and container companies, cargo owners and cargo consignors, as well as global and Russian investors and financiers, to discuss the critical concerns facing the sector, including:

How to prepare for future growth in trade where goods are transported by sea
How to ensure the integrated development of ports infrastructure with the surrounding areas
How to increase the efficiency of the land use in the ports industry: creation of industrial and free economic zones
How to ensure effective communication of information between state bodies and international trade companies

Anti-Corruption Southern Africa

C5 (UK) — Tue 18 Sep 2012

Cape Town |

Interactive, Exhaustive and Mandatory

Bringing Top International Anti-Corruption Compliance Strategies to "At Risk" Southern Africa

In October 2011, South African President Jacob Zuma ordered a new probe into the infamous Arms Deal that involved corruption and bribery allegations during a R30 billion procurement deal. The new commission of enquiry will now have two years in which to finally put the arms deal scandal to rest. Meanwhile, yet another South African police chief and government ministers have hit headlines in the latest round of corruption allegations against President Zuma's government.

Adding to mounting pressure, Japanese-based Marubeni Corporation has agreed to pay $54.6 million to resolve FCPA charges related to a decade-long scheme to bribe government officials in Africa, further demonstrates that no company is beyond the reach of the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. This is coupled with the implementation of the UK Bribery Act in July 2011 which will have extraterritorial reach throughout Southern Africa for any company that carries on any "part of a business" in the UK. Accordingly, all companies doing business or investing in Southern Africa and local companies listed on foreign stock exchanges or with ties to foreign companies must take extra care to ensure their organisation fosters a culture of strict compliance from management down and that ALL potential corruption and bribery risks are detected and minimised as quickly as possible to avoid intrusive government investigations, significant fines and costly settlement arrangements.

Following last year's sell out success, C5 is pleased to bring you the second Forum on Anti-Corruption ? Southern Africa Edition which will once again bring together a leading faculty of experienced in-house and private practice lawyers, compliance executives and government officials who will provide the latest strategies to facilitate compliance with Southern African, US, UK and European anti-corruption laws and mitigate damages should a violation occur.

The fully updated agenda for 2012 includes:

Southern Africa's anti-corruption legislative reform and enforcement efforts: How the past year's developments have changed the face of corporate compliance.

How the Extraterritorial Reach of the UK Bribery Act will impact Southern African Business: Putting "Adequate Procedures" and a "failure to prevent bribery?" into Regional Context.

What's Next for FCPA Enforcement: What local and international Southern African Based Organisations Needs to Know.

Building a Culture of Compliance from the Top Down: Getting Buy In and Leadership Support.

Conducting thorough risk-based due diligence against all third parties to control and minimise liability risks.

Installing a strong and safe whistleblowing system that employees will use: Accounting for cultural nuances.

Navigating the Southern African customs process: Who to trust? What to Avoid? How to Respond to facilitation payment requests.

Private to Private Corruption: New ways the private sector can be implicated in bribery and corrupt practices.

Use this opportunity to benchmark your practices with leading local and international organisations and pick up critical knowledge from the anti-corruption experts. This is an outstanding career, business networking and information sharing opportunity.

US Online Gaming Law

C5 (UK) — Tue 18 Sep 2012

Las Vegas | With the DOJ opinion on 23 December 2011 appearing to clarify the legality of US Online Gaming it is no wonder that operators, manufacturers, and technology providers are winging into action with plans in place to try and tap this potentially lucrative new revenue source.

However, there remain many legal and regulatory hurdles before such strategies can become reality.

Who will be responsible for the regulation, State-by State?
Who would have jurisdiction if interstate play was permitted?
How will cross-border capability improve liquidity in the market?
Could States operate with different technical standards?
How will regulators avoid over-taxing?

The uncertainty which stands in the way of huge potential profits is a current challenge for lawyers, operators, regulators and gaming business leaders. The gaming industry must remain ready and continue to be proactive during what is likely to be a period of rapid legislative and regulatory changes in the next 12 months.

CORPORATE TAX STRATEGIES
Moscow 25-26 September 2012

The Conference will take into account topics and suggestions of participants of C5's hugely successful first Moscow Forum on transfer pricing (27-28 March 2012).

Mitigating compliance risks while ensuring successful market access operations

The average tariff ceiling for agriculture products will be 10.8 per cent, while those for manufactured goods will be 7.3 per cent. Russia will have to remove all quantitative restrictions on imports, such as quotas, bans, permits, prior authorization and licensing requirements that are incompatible with the WTO. Russia has agreed to make all of its health & safety regulations compliant with the WTO Agreement on Sanitary and Phyto-Sanitary Measures. Also, technical regulations, standards and certification requirements will be aligned with WTO Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade.

While changes brought by WTO membership are waiting to be announced, further steps of Russia's, Belarus' and Kazakhstan's Customs Union integration which goes in line with EurAsES development are on the way. Although challenges with implementation of the new rules postponed many of the anticipated changes, unified rules on customs tariffs and non-tariff measures are slowly taking place and they will greatly facilitate the trade in the region. As a trade and customs executive accountable to your organisations operations in Russia and CIS, you should not only be aware of the latest regulatory developments but also gain the crucial insights as to how they will impact your day ?to-day compliance work and what best practices you should implement to reduce your compliance risks.

Second Annual
Compliance & Economic Crime in Financial Institutions
4 - 5 October 2012, Moscow, Russia

Globalisation and the increasing use of new technologies and communication platforms are creating seemingly limitless opportunities for money laundering, insider dealing, fraud and other illicit financial activities. In response, regulatory frameworks are developing and financial institutions and other organisations are becoming subject to AML, CTF, insider dealing regulations and economic sanctions; whilst at the same time becoming globally responsible for their operations and their clients' transactional activities.

Implementing an effective risk-based compliance programme is your first defence. Your financial institution must possess updated and accurate information on counterparties, potential partners or target companies, in order to reduce exposure to risks which can result in the imposition of fines running to hundreds of millions of dollars.

Due to the on-going global economic crisis financial regulators are keen on ensuring maximum transparency within the financial system, therefore are actively undertaking country, regional and global initiatives. The Russian government is also keen to launch further initiatives to consolidate its regulatory framework by updating it to meet international standards such as OECD's Anti-Bribery Convention and UK Bribery Act. The Russian AML and insider dealing framework has made considerable progress and now you can benchmark your implementation practices with your peers and as ever need to understand the priorities of the lawmakers, in order to roll out an effective internal compliance programme.

Second annual Compliance and Economic Crime in Financial Institutions is the Russian and CIS edition in the global series of original and market leading anticorruption, economic sanctions and civil fraud events organised by C5. These events have been the number one choice for practitioners in Europe and the US for the past 15+ years. In addition to extensive coverage of how key legal challenges can be addressed, our expert faculty will provide you with examples of solutions and strategies that will help you monitor illicit activity and effectively combat any issues that come to light.

We bring together representatives of intergovernmental bodies, supervisory associations, leading compliance professionals, lawyers, forensic accountants and industry professionals showcasing in-depth learning through case study presentations, regulatory and legislative updates, as well as expert advice and unparalleled networking opportunities.

In our continuous effort to improve the quality of our programmes and offer you more value, we are pleased to provide you with the opportunity to submit suggestions and nominate speakers for this year's programme. Please contact Lyubov Pignataro, Conference producer, at l.pignataro@c5-online.com or at 020 7878 6948.

Singapore Summit on Asia Anti-Corruption Compliance

C5 (UK) — Tue 9 Oct 2012

Singapore | Attend the only forum that goes beyond the FCPA and provides country-by-country anti-corruption compliance strategies in Asia to help you stay ahead of the global enforcement curve.

Multinational companies operating in China, India and other emerging countries in Asia are increasingly the target of FCPA enforcement actions and investigations, and at the same time, facing prosecutions by local authorities. This trend, coupled with increased cross-border cooperation and the growing relevance of foreign anti-bribery laws, is changing the global anti-corruption enforcement landscape and forcing companies to adopt a more local approach to compliance.

Join ACI's Singapore Summit on Asia Anti-Corruption Compliance to gain a complete guide on Asia compliance roadmap. The 2012 program will feature an international line-up of speakers who will provide country-specific anti-corruption compliance guidance you can't get anywhere else. Go beyond the FCPA and walk away with firsthand insights on hot compliance issues in each specific country which includes China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, South Korea, and more.

The conference program is currently under development. Please check back soon for the program agenda and faculty list.
