This document summarizes Kazakhstan's 2013 EITI Report and provides recommendations for their 2014 report. It notes some positive aspects of the 2013 report, including descriptions of state-owned enterprises, transportation revenue disclosures, and an innovative online tax system. However, it identifies several areas needing more information, such as transfers between state-owned entities and government, license registry information, and transport of minerals data. It encourages future reports to address revenue management and expenditures, beneficial ownership, and contract transparency. It also recommends ensuring all requirements are fully covered, considering subnational issues, and making reports more publicly accessible.

Editor's Notes
Thank you very much to the Q Club for your kind invitation to speak with you regarding the EITI and its implementation in Ukraine.
My remarks will be brief. In them, I would like to concentrate on latest developments within EITI and across our implementing countries, look a bit closer at the most recent EITI Reports from Kazakhstan and how they relate to Ukraine and close with a few thoughts on Ukraine and the EITI.
across the value chain
As many of you know, the EITI Standard was approved at the Sydney Conference in 2013, and contains additional requirements regarding state-owned enterprises, transport and licensing.
I would like to briefly point out what we term the extractive industry value chain in the next two slides, upon which the Standard is based.
Mandatory Disclosure
General info on legal and fiscal regime
Macroeconomic data on contribution of extractives to the economy
Production data by commodity by volume and value
License data, including info on transfers of interests and cadastral information
Revenue distribution through budget and off-budget
SOE equity interests, payments to Government, quasi-fiscal operations, loans, guarantees etc
Encouraged
The publication of extractives Contracts – already happening in some countries
Information on the ultimate beneficiaries of extractives contracts
Further info on revenue earmarks, revenue projections and budgetary processes
EITI’s advantage is its multistakeholder approach, bringing together government, the private sector and civil society. One of EITI’s requirements (no. 6) is to use the EITI reports to contribute to a national debate. With the Standard’s requirements, we are increasingly seeing the national discussion around energy in a number of countries.
