Standards as a Gateway, Not an Obstacle

In the article "Technical Standards and Executive Mediation for Investors from Central Asia" in Issue 79 of Diplomatic World Magazine, Izolda Petrosyan and Dr. Hartmut Frenzel explain how this can be changed. Their approach: incorporate EU compliance early and visibly--into planning, technical specifications, and due diligence. This turns a hurdle into a signal of reliability to authorities, banks, and contractual partners.
"Those who understand and demonstrate compliance with EU standards no longer negotiate the fundamentals, but rather the terms," says Dr. Hartmut Frenzel. "This shifts the balance of power at the table."
Executive Mediation for Complex Deals
The second lever is executive mediation. In cross-border transactions, legal systems, languages, and expectations collide. Without structured conflict management, misunderstandings remain unresolved and block projects.
Petrosyan and Frenzel mediate these processes as a co-team: neutral, multilingual, with clear protocols, and in close coordination with the advising law firms. Conflicts are identified, named, and translated into negotiable issues. Their experience: When technical standards and mediation are integrated from the outset, the duration of complex deals is reduced from years to weeks.
