For several years, the Survey has been a highly valuable source of first-hand information which helps to maintain productive relations with the Russian authorities and facilitates the successful outcome of many AEB lobbying activities aimed at representing and defending the interests of its member companies. This year the AEB aims to investigate how the estimations evolved in the context of Russia’s accession to the WTO, economic situation in Europe, crisis in Ukraine and XXII Olympic Winter Games 2014 in Sochi. We greatly count on your expert opinion regarding developments in the Russian investment climate attractiveness and key challenges and strategies that impact European companies while doing business in Russia.
