AIC has dealt with exactly 5716 requests for experts issued by companies and International Institutions between June 1999 and December 2006.
In addition, 1320 (about 19% of the total 7036) were not considered because companies / International Institutions were not providing all the requested information.
Searches are rejected when companies are not providing the requested information, or when companies are not considered by AIC as reliable or because fees proposed are too low.
Demand from companies is a very cyclic activity, in direct relation with the number of tenders launched by International and bilateral funds providers. It fluctuates every month in a totally unpredictable way as shown by the statistics in the table beside.
