Information and documentation<br />
The gathering of information which is of interest to<br />
<strong>IRO</strong> members is an ongoing process.<br />
Documents on file include:<br />
- operator fact sheets<br />
- general country information<br />
- annual reports<br />
- operator presentations<br />
- other documents of general interest.<br />
Companies and students are always welcome to use the <strong>IRO</strong> Documentation and<br />
Information Center to gather information about companies, trends, figures etc.<br />
The Documentation and Information Center has a vast collection of magazines and<br />
other interesting publications and reports which give access to specific information. Also,<br />
information about countries and regions is gathered and available. The <strong>IRO</strong> library has<br />
subscriptions to many oil and gas magazines and newspapers which keep the information<br />
up to date.<br />
Enquiries<br />
The vast majority of the enquiries in <strong>2010</strong> referred to newsletters and articles that<br />
<strong>IRO</strong> offers in <strong>IRO</strong> News every month. Next to that there were the regular questions on<br />
contacts, doing business in other parts of the world, <strong>IRO</strong> activities and publications.<br />
As there were changes made in the Social Security regulations, <strong>IRO</strong> also received some<br />
enquiries on that subject. In most of the cases people could be provided with answers or<br />
be guided in the right direction.<br />
