Talisman Energy
From of Talisman's statement of support to the EITI:
Talisman became a signatory to the EITI in 2005 and has actively participated in the development of the policy framework for the EITI, including the development of a validation process for implementing countries and companies. An EITI Secretariat has now been established in Oslo, Norway. The EITI Board has recommended that the implementing countries, the private sector and the supporting countries share the principal funding responsibility for the international management costs of the EITI with the support of civil society organizations and the host Norwegian government. In this regard, Talisman has committed $50,000 per year to EITI for an initial three-year period. In 2007, Canada also joined EITI as a supporting country, announcing an initial contribution of $750,000 to the multi-donor trust fund and an annual commitment of $100,000. Talisman has consistently advocated to the Canadian government that it support the EITI process and the Company looks forward to working with the Canadian government on EITI issues.
