Foreign investors and among them also AEB member companies, had an opportunity to express their position on above mentioned issues. During the discussion the AEB and its position was mentioned in connection with the research of the liberalization of parallel import consequences. AEB letter on secondment and out-staffing use was also mentioned by Maxim Topilin, RF Minister of Labour and Social Security. 

The position of AEB member companies and foreign investors, working in the Russian market, were clearly expressed and heard at the meeting.
