This is our fifth edition of Morgan Lewis Spark, a quarterly update highlighting new and amended Russian legislation of importance to companies operating in the Russian energy and mining sectors.
The first quarter of 2021 was relatively slow in respect of Russian legislative developments. And yet we saw development of a number of important legislative frameworks, particularly with a focus to the emerging global energy transition, with draft legislation being developed in respect of greenhouse emission reduction and LNG production in Russia.
We will continue to watch for Russian legislative developments with a focus on the core documents and initiatives that will shape the future of the industry as we move through 2021.
