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, for 
example) when identifying resources for swap lawyers.  I'll schedule a short 
meeting for us to recap soon.  Sara

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

Thanks.
Nony

Subject: ECT Legal Jurisdictional Database

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

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

Please finish reading this memo, and then CLICK this doclink and the data 
base icon will appear on your Notes Desktop  >>>> .  Click on the view titles 
in the navigator to switch between the views.  When you close out of the data 
base, the icon will remain on your desktop for future reference. 

The legal surveys have been categorized by:

Region  Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle East, Caribbean
 (A European Jurisdiction Database is also under development by the Enron 
Europe Legal Group to compile legal surveys in the following subject areas of 
Financial Trading, Gas Trading, Power Trading, and Global Products.  The 
format for the Europe Jurisdictional Database has been synchronized with this 
Database so they each can be used interchangeably.  Contact Sasha Beard if 
you would like access to the Europe Jurisdictional Database.

targeted jurisdictions - divided into two parts--derivatives/financial

 Surveys prior to 1996

Please bear in mind that the survey contains proprietary information of ECT 
and is not to be reproduced, copied or disseminated without the prior written 
consent of a member of the ECT Office of General Counsel.

We envision that this database will eventually include all other foreign 
jurisdictions that are similarly surveyed in the future.  This data base is 
not limited to Trading legal matters.  It can easily be supplemented to 
include legal memoranda and opinions related to domestic issues or to 
accommodate other areas relevant to the businesses supported by ECT Legal.   
If your group has been involved in similar surveys and would like to 
incorporate such data into the Jurisdictional Library Database, please let 
Nony Flores know.

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