SOT Ernst and Young Representative Michael Henning in English "Prime Minister Primakov is a good listener. I think he was on top of the issues. I don't think this was new information to him, I think he has been briefed and his ministers know what to do. We know, as foreign investors, this is a great country with great human and natural resources but has not had the foreign investment it needs to develop this country and there needs to be some basic changes in the tax laws and banking laws and other laws in order for that to happen."
