Susan: You may be aware of this database already. I remembered it but as=

Nony's message indicates below, I think I lost the link. We need to keep=

this link in mind (as well as updates since Alan has just updated Japan, fo=
r=20
example) when identifying resources for swap lawyers. I'll schedule a shor=
t=20
meeting for us to recap soon. Sara

Sara - I will make copies of the updates to the Japan legal survey and=20
deliver them to you in the morning. If you already have access to the Enro=
n=20
Europe Jurisdictional Library, Alan must be talking about the Jurisdictiona=
l=20
database which contains all of the original surveys from 1996 and 1997 that=
=20
you and him worked on. I recall that you were having computer problems at=
=20
some point and you might have lost the link to the database, but here it is=
=20
<<< <.

Thanks.
Nony

Subject: ECT Legal Jurisdictional Database

Since 1996 ECT Legal has engaged and directed local counsel in certain=20
targeted jurisdictions in the Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle East and=
=20
the Caribbean regions for the purpose of conducting a survey of (and=20
compiling survey results for) a range of legal/regulatory and tax issues. =
=20
These issues were those relevant to ECT=01,s potential business activities =
as=20
identified by the business groups for the regions prior to conducting the=
=20
survey.

These surveys have been primarily utilized by the Emerging Markets, Financi=
al=20
and Physical Trading Legal Groups and hard copies are kept in the Houston,=
=20
Singapore and London offices. However, we are happy to report that "soft=
=20
copies" of these surveys are now available "on-line" to ECT Legal. We have=
=20
developed a Jurisdictional Document Library Database with "read-only" acces=
s=20
for all users. By way of background, ECT Legal prepared these summaries=
=20
based on extensive written legal opinions issued to ECT Legal by each local=
=20
law firm in response to ECT Legal=01,s memorandum presenting the survey iss=
ues=20
to be answered. The ECT Tax Department assisted with identifying and=20
reviewing the tax issues covered in the surveys. The surveys include 15=
=20
Asia-Pacific countries, 1 Middle East country, 13 Latin American and=20
Caribbean countries. =20

Please finish reading this memo, and then CLICK this doclink and the data=

The legal surveys have been categorized by:

consent of a member of the ECT Office of General Counsel.

We envision that this database will eventually include all other foreign=20

not limited to Trading legal matters. It can easily be supplemented to=20

If your group has been involved in similar surveys and would like to=20

If you have any questions regarding the survey or other available=20
information, please do not hesitate to contact me or Nony Flores.
