Agenda and decisions approved

1. Discussion of the 2007 Action Plan of the Coalition

In accordance with the corresponding decisions that had been approved during the discussions at the previous meeting, Mr Inqlab Ahmadov has prepared the alternative action plan and sent it to the members of the Board. Meanwhile, Mr Sabit Bagirov has yet improved - taking into consideration relevant proposals and amendments - the Action Plan which he had submitted for consideration to the audience at the last meeting.

- action targets ? activities must be built up in accordance with the priorities that need to be determined (local and international oil companies, the State Oil Fund of the Azerbaijan Republic, the public, etc.);

- the projects that have been implemented need to be assessed along with the activity of the Coalition throughout 2006;

- both documents need to be combined and the consolidated project needs to be drafted;

- the document, to be submitted (for consideration of the audience at the general meeting), needs not be in the format of a grant project, but correspond with the setup of an action plan.

Discussion continued over the prioritization of the activities in 2007. The following proposals were forwarded:

- development of transparency in company activities;

- development of transparency in the extractive industries beyond the oil sector;

- development of transparency with respect to the project that are being funded out of the Oil Fund;

- development of public awareness;

- development of the institutional potential of the Coalition, the level of knowledge and skills of its members, and the setting up of a resource centre of the Coalition.

Decision:

1) The consolidated Action Plan needs to be prepared by using both documents. The consolidated paper must provide an analysis of, achievements and shortcomings in the activity of the Coalition throughout 2006, as well as, substantiate priorities for 2007, and specify the directions of activities and the principles of their implementation; Mr Sabit Bagirov has been appointed the implementing agent for that.

2) The final edition of the 2007 Action Plan of the Coalition, which will be submitted for consideration to the General Meeting, needs to be approved at the next meeting of the Board.

Mr Sabit Bagirov said that a united action plan was under preparation to outline activities of the Coalition in 2007, and that members of the Coalition were encourage to come up with their draft proposals. As a matter of fact, the proposals, to be submitted, will be included in the united action plan, which will be brought up for discussion at the general meeting.
