Background
FICIL meets annually with the Government of Latvia in High Council (HC) meetings. The High Council is represented on one side by senior executives from each FICIL member company’s headquarters, and on the other side by Latvian Ministers and high civil servants. The High Council meetings are jointly chaired by the sitting Prime Minister of Latvia and the selected CEO of a FICIL member’s parent company.
The HC meetings are intended to facilitate a top-level discussion forum between foreign investors and the Government, to set up structured exchange of information and views between the major investors and the national policymakers. The mutually agreed issues are incorporated into an Action Plan to Improve the Business Environment in Latvia. In the interim between High Councils the Action Plan is being supervised by the Latvian Development Agency and reviewed in a meeting between the sitting Prime Minister and the sitting Chairman of FICIL High Council.
Since 1999, thirteen High Council Meetings have been held. The most recent of them took place on May 21 - 22, 2009 and was chaired by Mr. Valdis Dombrovskis, Prime Minister of the Republic of Latvia, and Mr. Hans Enocson, Honorary Chairman of the FICIL High Council, GE Nordic Region National Executive.
