AMERICAN EXPERT CONSIDERS MISUNDERSTANDING OF OPINION EXPRESSED BY HIM
TO BE RESULT OF INCORRECT INTERPRETATION

YEREVAN, APRIL 11, NOYAN TAPAN. “The Public Services Regulatory
Commission (PSRC) is acting independently, and I had no reason to
believe that they are not.” The American expert Bruce Hutchinson wrote
this in his letter to NT. At a recent seminar on the energy sphere
regulation and tariffs methodology, he stated that the PSRC does not
present respective calculations on tariff changes to its resolutions,
which calls in question the full independence of this body. In his
letter Bruce Hutchinson insists that he did not make such a comment
and there was probably a misunderstanding of the interpretation. At
the same time, the American expert repeated tha idea that he had no
opportunity to see any calculations or working papers. “The PSRC
official resolutions that approve the tariffs do not contain the
calculations, which were used in the tariffs,” B. Hutchinson wrote.
