WelcomeDear EPDA Member,

On behalf of EPDA’s Board of Directors it gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to the 2012 Annual Conference in the heart of Budapest, where I hope you will have a very informative, expansive and enjoyable few days. The EPDA Board, committees and staff have organised a comprehensive itinerary of speakers and panels, possibilities to exchange information and ideas as well as an opportunity to appreciate this glorious city.

We have some very special keynote speakers with us this year. Dr. Gábor Kelemen, Hungarian Minister for National Economy and Daniel Stricker, Head of Market Research at KI Group. After the success of EPDA’s first market segment meetings at last year’s conference in Prague, I am pleased to announce we will continue with segment meetings, Signs & Display, Building & Construction and Industry. The meetings will be presented by Mike Horsten, Mimaki Euoppe B.V., and Patrick Van Soelen, Mimaki Europe; Miklós Fórizs, Kerrtrade Ltd.; and Walter Weterman, ProMaqua GmbH.

Also returning this year is a distributor panel, hosted by Nick Kraguljac of Zell-Metall GmbH, and new for 2012 a manufacturer panel hosted by Maurizio Adreani, Jr, of Adreani Spa. Nick and Maurizio are long-term members of the association, always standing for their view and certainly will facilitate dynamic and productive discussions.

Other highlights of the conference will be our annual tabletop showcases, the annual gala dinner and the auction.

The EPDA Board would like to thank you for taking time to attend this year’s conference. Your commitment confirms that this event is a meaningful forum for our European distribution and manufacturing members. Exchanging ideas and visions as well as joint education are the key cornerstones the Board has committed itself to provide to its members.

Have a wonderful conference and enjoy plenty of opportunity to meet or get reacquainted with industry colleagues to strengthen the networks vital for success in our industry.

We wish you a pleasant event.

Sincerely,

Steffen Oellers, EPDA PresidentKlöckner Pentaplast GmbH & Co. KG

Accomplishments

Website and New Brand

The President introduced the new association brand, website and logo to the membership. The new website changes will be launched in several phases, the fi rst being the new look. Other updates will be a membership directory search and a members’ only area which will include technical documents, committee projects and IAPD educational materi-als. The EPDA newsletter will also be updated with a new logo and look.

Translation of Introduction to Plastics

Steff en Oellers informed the membership that the Introduction to Plastics has been translated into German, Italian and French. These will be available in mid-July and can be ordered with the applicable order form. The English ver-sion and the French-Canadian version can be ordered through IAPD.

Conference Programme

The President introduced the group to new conference programme items including the Distributor Panel and the three Market Segment Meetings with the subjects: Signs & Graphics, Building & Construction and Industry.

Further Business

He informed the members about the goal to expedite the relationship with other organisations like PIE, Vinyl2010 and IAPD and to search for additional organisations with the similar interests in plastics and distribution.

Hearing no further business, the Annual General Meeting was adjourned at 14:30.

Respectfully submitted by,

Susan E. Avery, CAE, Executive Secretary

There is no question about it: We are living in the plastics age. In the year 2011 alone, 233mt of plastics was produced. Although in terms of weight that is less than the total global iron output of that year, in volume-terms synthetic polymers already surpassed steel at the end of the 1980s.

About 93 percent of plastics are considered to be standard types, with polyethylene and polypropylene — polyolefins that are based on “olefins” (ethylene, propylene) — the most important, accounting for two-thirds of standard plastics. Other important standard plastics include PVC, polystyrene and PET.

The remaining 7 percent are made up of engineering thermoplastics, characterized among others by their higher temperature resistance. Key types include polycarbonate, polyamide, PMMA (“Plexi”), PBT and polyacetals, as well as numerous special compounds and blends.

Thermoplastics are normally linked to the feedstock oil. However, this link is in fact a half-truth, since about 40 percent of the world’s thermoplastics are sourced from gas. Another 10 percent are based on coal. In the course of the past 10 years the feedstock balance has shifted significantly, mostly as a result of the massive capacity expansions in the Middle East, most of which are based on ethane — the “waste gas” generated by the region’s oil fields.

The “shale gas revolution” in the United States marks yet another chapter in the ongoing tale of the changing global feedstock balance. As the raw material base continues to shift, the next decade is set to see a plethora of changes, both in terms of the technology of integrated production sites and as a result of the shifts in the existing market balance. One key change is the increasing decoupling in the production of key synthetic elastomer feedstocks ethylene, propylene and butylene. That shift will significantly impact the thermoplastics economy.

In addition, the coming decade will see a significant change in the economic balance of power as the emerging markets continue to gain in importance. A key player in this respect is the new global superpower China — not just because of its immense demand for feedstocks, but also as a result of the mega-production plans already on stream and those planned for the near to medium-term future. Already now, engineering thermoplastics production is dominated by the Chinese and Asian markets — a trend that is set to further reinforce itself in the coming years.

The presentation will highlight key thermoplastic market developments and illustrate the resulting outcomes for different world regions, with a special focus on Europe.

EPDA MANUAL ON COMPLIANCE WITH EU COMPETITION LAW

GUIDELINESThe following guidelines are intended to help both EPDA staff and members avoid liability under EU competition laws.

1. Activities During the Meetings

Member representatives responsible for the management of meetings (chairmen) and staff at EPDA meetings, wherever they are held, must never allow to discuss/exchange information relating to:

- prices and resale prices- price trends and/or output and sales, unless the information is sufficiently historic (over six months

old) or public domain- discounts- allowances- credit terms- market share and sales volume of individual companies or groups of companies- profits/costs of individual companies or groups of companies- allocation of geographic marketing areas or sales territories- decisions to quote or bid- matters relating to actual or potential customers or suppliers such as their classification or selection

which can lead to the influence of future competitive behaviour or identify the individual undertaking’s data. This is not an exhaustive list.

2. Meetings Management2.1 EPDA staff and officers of the meetings should issue, in advance, an agenda that must not cover subjects

likely to infringe the competition laws.

2.2 The agenda, registration forms and minutes of meetings shall carry the following words: “EPDA is committed to complying with EU competition law. The participants to this meeting agree to adhere to the EPDA manual on competition law compliance.”

2.3 A lawyer, expert in competition matters, should review the agenda and minutes of all EPDA general assemblies and advise on any anti-competition matters.

2.4 If any prohibited subject should be raised, the officers and/or EPDA staff should request that the conversation be immediately ended. If the discussion is continued, the meeting will be closed and the foregoing recorded in the minutes.

3. Membership Conditions Membership rules should not place any existing or potential member at a competitive advantage or disadvantage.

4. Technical Standards Technical industry standards set up by EPDA should be objective and fully accessible to industry.

ANNEXI. Article 81 (ex art. 85) EC Treaty

“The following shall be prohibited as incompatible with the common market: All agreements between undertakings, decisions by associations of undertakings and concerted practices which may affect trade between Member States and which have as their object or effect the prevention, restriction or distortion of competition within the common market (…).” (Article 81, Amsterdam Treaty)

The core provision of the EU competition law is Article 81. It outlaws agreements between undertakings, decisions by associations of undertakings and concerted practices which may affect trade between Member States and which have as their object or effect the prevention, distortion or restriction of competition within the common market.

1. Definitions1.1 Agreements

• An agreement is void when it leads to an appreciable restriction of competition, interfering with the normal interplay of supply and demand.

• There is an agreement wherever there is the necessary consensus between the parties determining the lines of their mutual behaviour on the market.

• An agreement can be horizontal (entered into by undertakings at the same level of production) or vertical (between undertakings at a different level of production), formal or informal and does not need to be in writing or binding on the parties.

• It can also be implied from conduct.

1.2 Decisions• Resolutions of trade associations that act on behalf of their members (resolutions of management

committees, steering committees, general assemblies, etc.).• Recommendations brought to the notice of members and followed by them as an association’s

“policy.”

1.3 Concerted Practices• Coordinated behaviour or aware cooperation without any formal agreement or decision having been

reached.

2. Exemption2.1 “De Minimis” Notice

The Commission issued the “de minimis” notice on the ground of which Article 81 shall not apply to horizontal agreements where the aggregate market share held by the parties to the agreement does not exceed 10 percent and to vertical agreements where the market share held by each of the parties does not exceed 15 percent. In cases where it is difficult to define the agreement as horizontal or vertical, the 10 percent threshold will be applicable.

However, this exemption would not apply to agreements containing hardcore restrictions, such as price fixing, sales limitation and market sharing.

3. Effects of the Infringement3.1 The agreements breaching Article 81 are automatically void and unforceable. 3.2 The EU Commission has wide-ranging powers. It can:

- inspect firms in search of evidence of secret agreements.- enter premises and demand documents* at short notice or without notice (“dawn-raid”). - impose fines of up to 10 percent of worldwide group turnover.

* “documents” mean: information stored on computers, minutes of meetings, notes in diaries, agendas, sales figures, etc.
