Questions for Debate
What do investors need?
• Is it certainty, timeliness or both?
What are the differences in project approval procedures?
• How different is China from Russia?
• PNG from Indonesia? Mexico from California?
• What accounts for the differences in the 21 APEC economies?
• What are the legitimate differences?
Can procedures be improved?
• Are project approvals processes sub-optimal?
• Are project approvals driven by politics?
• Is there any linkage between project approvals and electoral cycles?
• Do regulatory procedures encourage NIMBYISM?
• Is it the amount of discretionary power that causes this?
• What is the right amount of regulatory latitude?
• Is a regulator really a selector or a facilitator?
• How objective can an environmental assessment be?
Should there be a Code of Best Practice?
• Does best practice require more professional and independent approvals processes?
• Can we have a constructive solution instead of a yes/no answer?
• Should project approvals be considered as a single or multiple stage process?
• What is the appropriate remedy for breach of approval conditions?
• Can revocation ever be justified?
• How should variation of approval conditions be dealt with if the need arises?
• Would all parties observe a Code of Best Practice?
Delegates may refer to the Issues Paper circulated prior to the Forum.
In the second part of this open forum, we will debate what type of Code of Best Practice is likely to emerge, for circulation to APEC governments to use when assessing project approval applications for LNG projects. |
