The European Parliament the Council, the Commission and the Court of Justice shall exercise their powers under the conditions and for the purposes provided for, on the one hand, by the provisions of the Treaties establishing the European Communities and of the subsequent Treaties and Acts modifying and supplementing them and, on the other hand, by the other provisions of this Treaty.
The European Parliament the Council may adopt the act only if Parliament has given its consent to the act. BACKGROUND: relations between the European Union (EU) and Kazakhstan are currently based on the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement signed in Brussels on 23 January 1995, which entered into force in June 1999. On 13 April 2011, the Council adopted a Decision authorising the European Commission to negotiate the Enhanced Partnership and Cooperation Agreement between the European Union and Kazakhstan. Negotiation of the Agreement began in June 2011. The Agreement between the parties was signed on 21 December 2015, subject to its conclusion at a later date. For the EU, the Agreement constitutes an important step towards increased political and economic involvement in Central Asia. By strengthening political dialogue and improving cooperation in a broad range of areas, it will provide the basis for more effective bilateral engagement with Kazakhstan. Legal nature: the Agreement was negotiated and initialled by the European Union and the Republic of Kazakhstan as the Union's Agreement only. As the European Union's Member States were unanimous in preferring a mixed Agreement, it was agreed to amend the initialled text of the Agreement and the Joint Proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European Commission for a Council Decision on the signing and provisional application of the Agreement accordingly. In response to this measure, the European Commission made the following statement: ?Given the political and economic relevance of the Enhanced Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (EPCA) with Kazakhstan, the Commission stresses the importance of signing and ratifying it swiftly. The Commission reiterates its position that a "mixed" agreement is legally unnecessary in the present case and that all matters covered by the agreement fall within the EU's competence. The Commission therefore regrets that the Member States insist on signing and ratifying the EPCA with Kazakhstan as a "mixed" agreement. The Commission reserves its position as to the future presentation of acts linked to the legal nature of an international agreement.? Following the adoption of the Council Decision on the signing, on behalf of the European Union, and provisional application of the Agreement, the Agreement was signed by the European Union and the Republic of Kazakhstan as a mixed Agreement.

The European Parliament and the Council of the European Union approved a directive (the “AIFM Directive”) on alternative investment fund managers (“AIFM”) on 11 November 2010. The deadline for European Union Member States to transpose the AIFM Directive into national law, 22 July 2013, has passed. As an entity with its registered office outside the EU, the Manager will be affected by the AIFM Directive only to the extent that the Manager conducts relevant management and marketing activities within the EU. Accordingly, the Manager may not be subject to the provisions of the AIFM Directive in its management of the portfolio of the Cell and the protections for investors provided by the Directive may therefore not be available to investors in the Cell. Participating Shareholders should note that the provisions of the AIFM Directive will limit the ability of the Cell, as an investment fund not established in the EU which is managed by a non-EU manager, to be marketed to EU professional investors. These may have the consequence of, amongst other things, the Cell not benefitting from economies of scale that might otherwise have been achieved. Whilst the Manager may consider utilising the national private placement rules in EU member states when marketing the Cell for as long as they remain available, AIFMD may provide an option for the Manager to actively market Participating Shares within the EU to professional investors by applying for a passport. On 30 July 2015 the European Securities and Markets Authority (“ESMA”) announced the result of their assessment of Guernsey, along with Jersey and four other jurisdictions, as to its suitability to actively market Participating Shares within the EU through the EU passporting regime. The conclusion of ESMA’s assessment being that no obstacles exist to the extension of the passport to Guernsey; that opinion and advice has been sent to the European Parliament and Council for their consideration on whether to activate the relevant provision within AIFMD to extend the passporting regime through a Delegated Act. Should the Manager decide to obtain such a passport, when this becomes available, its ability to obtain such a passport will be subject to certain conditions. There is a risk that the Manager may not be able to fulfil the conditions required in order to obtain the relevant passport. In addition, in meeting conditions applicable under the AIFM Directive in order either to rely on the existing national private placement rules or to qualify f...
