Any definition is provided solely to clarify some of the terminology used below. The reader should note that any such definition does not correspond with any given definition under best international practice (which does not provide for any standardised PPP legal definitions recognised worldwide) neither should it be interpreted that we recommend the adoption of such definitions under actual documentation, but they are included in the interests of clarity for the completion of this questionnaire, and we should be grateful if you could adopt such definitions for the purposes of completing the questionnaire.

4 "Public Private Partnership" -"PPP" or "PPP project" includes all types of long-term arrangements between public authorities and private institutions, including but not limited to; Concessions, BOT and derived forms, PFI and Institutional PPP. For the purposes of this questionnaire, PPP excludes the sale of public assets or of public company shares which are part of a privatisation process and also excludes public works, services or supply contracts which are subject to public procurement rules. The following types of Public - Private Partnership Agreements may be adopted by a Contracting Authority for undertaking infrastructure projects. These are solely indicative in nature and the Contracting Authority may seek to adopt a combination of the different contractual arrangements, which incorporate some of their elements or combine elements. 4. "BOT" - (Build-Operate-and-Transfer)- and derived forms : a contractual arrangement whereby the Private Party undertakes to finance, design, construct under a turnkey risk basis, operate and maintain an Infrastructure project for a specified period after which period the project facilities are transferred to the Granting Authority usually without payment of any compensation. The Private Party has the right to collect contract or market based tariffs or fees from the users of the infrastructure project, as specified in the PPP agreement, to recover its investment and operating and maintenance expenses for the project. A BOT type of PPP arrangement may provide for all the implementation and operational efficiencies of the private sector, together with new sources of infrastructure capital. Derived forms of BOT contractual arrangements exist such as Build-Own-Operate-and-Transfer (BOOT) similar to the BOT agreement, except that the Private Party owns the Infrastructure project during the specified term before its transfer to the Contracting Authority or its designee, or such as Build-Own-and-Operate (BOO) which is a contractual arrangement similar to the BOT agreement, except that the Private Party owns the Infrastructure project and no transfer of the project to the Contracting Authority or its designee at the end of the fixed period is envisaged. Derived forms incorporating Lease right rather than Ownership or dealing with rehabilitation or extension rather than construction which extent the possible combination which for the purpose of this questionnaire will all be hereafter refferred to as BOT for simplification purpose exept where legal specificcity requires specific treatment. "Concession": is an act attributable to the State whereby a Contracting Authority entrusts to a third party the total or partial management of public services for which that authority would normally be responsible and for which the third party assumes all or part of the risk. "PFI" (Private Finance Initiative) : a form of cooperation and partnership between public authorities and Private Parties which aim to ensure the funding, construction, renovation, management or maintenance of an infrastructure or the provision of service to the infrastructure without the delegation of the public service itself. It is a contractual arrangement whereby the Private Party undertakes the financing and the construction of an infrastructure project and after its completion transfer it to the Contracting

5 5. Authority or its designee. This arrangement may be employed in the construction of a public service facility for which the public service must be operated directly by the contracting authority for whatever reason but the operation and maintenance of the facility remain the responsibility of the Private Party for the entire duration of the PPP agreement. The contracting authority will reimburse the total project investment on the basis of a rent based of an agreed schedule with the payment starting from the date of commencement of operation and pay for the services rendered to the facility on a performance basis. "IPPP"(Institutional PPP): a structural or corporate form of PPP which provide for the cooperation between public authorities and a Private Party through a joint venture or mix (publid- private shareholding) company in which case all reference to the slection process refers to the selection of the Private Party. Other definitions: The "Law" or "PPP Law": a law regulating any form of PPP including but not limited to Concession, BOT, PFI, IPPP and including, for the purpose of this questionnair, the set of rules applicable to any PPP in the absence of a specific PPP law. The Law for the purpose of this questionnaire also includes any implementing regulation and any form of governemental act regulating PPP. "BOT Law" : a law regulating a BOT type of PPP in their multiple forms. "Concession Law": a law regulating a Concession form of PPP. "Contracting Authority": a public authority empowered to award a PPP and enter into Project Agreements "PFI Law": a law regulating a PFI form of PPP. "PPP unit" : specialized institution/agency/ministerial department established to promote and take care of PPP. "Private Party" : Private Party or other entity in the form of a special purpose company to which a Project Agreement in general has been awarded. [The word Private party will be used for the sake of this study even in case the PPP regulation allows PPP business partner to be a mix company or even a public entity.] "Project Agreement": an agreement(s) between the Contracting Authority and the Private Party regulating their respective rights and obligations with respect to the PPP project.

REFERENCE TO BEST PRACTICE UNCITRAL Legislative Guide on Privately Financed Infrastructure Projects, 2001 (hereinafter the "PFI Guide") and UNCITRAL Model Legislative Provisions on Privately Financed Infrastructure Projects, 2003 (UNCITRAL Model Legislative Provisions). EC - Commission Interpretative Communication on Concessions Under Community Law dated 12 April 2000; together with additional EU major documents/decision /recommendation on concessions including Directives 2004/18/EC and 2004/17 EC of 31 March 2004; Green Paper on Public Private Partnerships and Community Law on Public Contracts and Concessions dated 30 April 2004; Report on the public consultation on the Green Paper (SEC(2005) 629- Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions on Public-Private Partnerships and Community Law on Public Procurement and Concessions (Brussels, COM(2005) 569) European Parliament resolution on public-private partnerships and Community law on public procurement and concessions (2006/2043(INI)); European Commission Guidelines for Successful Public-Private Partnerships (2003).Commission Interpretative Communication Brussels, C (2007)6661on the application of Community law on Public Procurement, and Concessions to Institutionalised Public-Private Partnerships (IPPP); EBRD Core Principles for a Modern Concessions Law selection and justification of principles Prepared by the EBRD Legal Transition Team.2005; UNIDO Guidelines for Infrastructure Development through Build Operate Transfer (BOT) Projects, 1996 (UNIDO BOT Guidelines); and OECD Basic Elements of a Law on Concession Agreements,

7 7. OVERALL ASSESSMENT 2011 MONGOLIA Compliance of PPP Framework with PFI Guide Recommendations and Best Practice Concession Law of Mongolia 2010 ( Concession Law ) was formulated by taking guidance from UNCITRAL Model Legislative Provisions on Privately Financed Infrastructure Projects, OECD Basic Elements of Law on Concession Agreements, EC Green Paper on Public Private Partnerships and Community law on Public Contracts and Concessions as well as considering recommendations of UNDP, ADB and USAID. The Concession Law which is the first adopted by this country without any past experience on concession except in the mining sector is one of the very few legislation of all EBRD Countries of operation which explicitely provides for a full range of PPP deal as well as for all sort of security instrument and for the possibility of Governement support and guarantee toghether with specific chapter on Lenders rights providing for the possibility of direct agreement as well as step in right all in accordance with Lenders expectation to ensure the bankability of project fionance deals. Concession Law has eight chapters and 36 articles providing legislative and institutional frameworks including scope of the law, determining but not limiting concession types, list of concession objects, granting concession rights, concession agreements, powers of the concessionaire and the concession financier, guarantees for the implementation of concessions and dispute settlement. Main legislative framework of PPP is Concession Law, Constitution of Mongolia, Civil Code, Law on Government, Law on State and Local Property, and Law on Foreign Investment. In accordance with Article 11.1 of Concession Law, the Government has adopted procedures on the selection of the private party. (Regulation on the Tender of Concession Provision, Resolution No. 177, dated 07 July 2010). Following this regulation, Model Prequalification Document on Granting Concessions, Model Request for Proposal Document for Tender and Tender Evaluation Guidelines was adopted by Annexes to the Resolution of State Property Committee no 342, dated 22 July With respect to procedures on the selection of the private party, there is a room for further clarity and transparency in connection to relationships among State Property Committee/Governors of aimag or capital city, Chairman, Secretary and members of the tender committee.

8 8. Effectiveness The main policy framework of PPP is the State Policy on PPP as adopted by the Parliament Resolution No.64, dated 15 October It expresses strong will of the State to promote private sector and to reduce the burden of the government to develop infrastructure and social services with limited funding and human resources. With respect to institutional framework, institutional capacity and human resource of the PPP central unit (PPP and Concession Department and to a greater extent the State Property Committee itself) needs to be improved. At this stage, it is not possible to provide views on PPP law enforcement. Concession Law has a potential to improve the management of state-owned as well as local properties and to enhance transparency at the central government and local level. The future will say if such copy and paste PPP new regulations even inspired by the best international standards will be sufficient to allow the rapid take off of PPP projects in Mongolia with no prior concession expertise and without the full revision of their existing legal framework and business environment.

9 9. ASSESSMENT & LEGAL INDICATOR SURVEY 1. LEGAL FRAMEWORK 1.1 Existence of different forms of PPP legal framework QUESTION ANSWER ARTICLE COMMENTARY 1.
