NEWSLETTER-2017

VII insight into material developments in international agreements, laws, regulations, communiqués as well as a synopsis of the decisions of the Turkish Competition Board and the Privatization Authority, and a list of energy legislation made effective in 2017 and extracts of key court precedence. We believe that this last chapter portrays an executive look on legal developments in 2017. This book is the accomplishment of Erdem & Erdem’s legal team who dedicate themselves to this publication from the very beginning. Our team worked with extraordinary devotion and dedication as they believed in the importance of keeping up with the legal developments in Turkey and abroad. They aimed to reflect this body of knowledge to the readers through vigorous scientific research. We are sincerely grateful to and truly appreciate the great efforts each and every author of these articles, as well as other members of our team who edited, proofread, translated and uploaded the articles to our website. Meanwhile you may access to Newsletter 2017 as an e-book from our website. We continue our collaboration formed last year for the publishing and distribution of the book, with On İki Levha Yayıncılık, a reputable legal publisher, this year as well. Therefore I would like to extend our gratitude to On İki Levha’s director Mr. Erol Öz and Ms. Sevil Öcalan who with patience prepared the Newsletter 2017 for publication. We trust that this publication will prove to be a useful resource and guidance for our clients and business partners. Finally we wish 2018 brings peace, prosperity, joy and contentment to the world and to our region. Nişantaşı, January 2018 Av. Piraye Erdem Prof. Dr. H.
