WelcomeDear EPDA Member,

On behalf of the entire EPDA Board of Directors, it is a great honor to welcome you to Prague, Czech Republic. The EPDA Board, committees and staff have worked very hard to organise a very informative slate of educational programmes, as well as a lively social programme for you to enjoy while attending the annual conference.

We are testing some new programmes during this year’s annual conference. The first are the new market segment meetings. Three key industry segment discussions will be offered: industry, signs and graphics and building and construction. These segment meetings are designed to initiate ideas and opportunities for further growing your customer base and sales in these industries.

Also new this year is a distributor panel, which will focus on opportunities and threats to the distribution model. Please be sure to attend to learn more about how, as an industry, we can work together to strengthen the overall distribution supply chain. Panelists include Adrian Dennis, Robert Horne Sign & Display; Cintia Rebelo, Norplex LDA; Krzystof Kryszewski, Tuplex Sp. z.o.o.; and Ralf Höllmann, Vink Holdings Ltd. The panel will be moderated by Mark Kramer, Laird Plastics.

Other highlights of the conference will be the annual tabletop showcase, annual gala dinner and the application award sessions. University of Birmingham’s Professor Peter Sinclair will provide an economic forecast and share with us whether the world economy will be kind to Europe.

Overall, the programme represents a fine balance of industry and general business education, and it will provide outstanding networking opportunities. We thank you for taking the time to attend the annual conference. Many of you have chosen to spend your holiday with EPDA. We guarantee that you will not regret that decision. It shows a level of commitment from our members to be the best in business and provide thought leadership for the European plastics distribution industry.

I hope that you enjoy the conference and the quality time with your colleagues. We are very pleased that you are here with us in the beautiful city of Prague.

Sincerely,

Steffen Oellers, EPDA PresidentKlöckner Pentaplast GmbH & Co. KG

Will the world economy be kind to Europe? In the short run, is 2011 likely to see continuing recovery in much of Central and Northern Europe? Will it see worsening recession, and / or rising unemployment in much of Mediterranean Europe? Shall we see defaults or renegotiation of some countries’ governments’ debts? Will the euro sag or bounce back? Could it break up in the end? More importantly, what may we see happening over the next five years? How will Europe’s place in the wider world economy alter over that time span, and how differently will these changes affect Europe’s 45 countries? What could happen to interest rates, equity prices, growth and inflation as the years unfold? These are questions that Professor Peter Sinclair will address in his presentation.

Sinclair has been Professor of Economics at the University of Birmingham since 1994. Prior to that he worked as a Fellow and Tutor in Economics at Brasenose College in the University of Oxford for 24 years. He holds a doctorate and BA/MA degrees from Oxford and has been a visiting professor of economics in Canada and South Africa. At the Bank of England he served as director of the Centre for Central Banking Studies and Houblon Norman Research Fellow.

Peter SinclairPresentation Summary

The European Economies in the Coming Five YearsPeter Sinclair

Most of the economies of Europe are likely to grow rather faster in the coming five years than in the quinquennium 2005‐10.

2005‐10 witnessed the banking collapses in the United States, Iceland, Ireland and the UK, together with a severe housing sector bust in Ireland, Greece and Spain, and a public‐private debt crisis that first afflicted the Baltic States,Hungary, Italy and the Ukraine, before going on to trigger serious government debt crises in Ireland, Portugal and Greece. All these economies except Greece are predicted to display faster growth on average over the coming five years than the past five; in the Greek case, the mean five-year forecast is for no change.

The Scandinavian macroeconomies also registered a disappointing performance, as a result of various special factors (weakened sales and profits from Nokia, Finland’s largest firm; Dutch disease effects – negative effects from higher energy prices in an energy exporting country – in Norway; large indirect exposures to US sub‐prime mortgages and derivatives associated with them; and reduced regional growth in this area of high trade integration).

Almost all European economies fared poorly in the past quinquennium. Poland and Russia were the main exceptions. These economies are predicted to grow more slowly in the years 2011‐16, but nevertheless far more rapidly than most of the rest of the continent.

The general pattern will be one of convergence, with most of the continent’s economies that display relatively low GDP per head tending to catch up with their more prosperous neighbours. The region’s formerly communist coun-tries are predicted to grow noticeably faster than the rest. Only Slovenia, the most prosperous state in the former Jugoslavia, is forecast to grow close to the continent’s average.

Within the Eurozone, Greece, Ireland and Portugal have been driven to accept bail‐out funds coordinated and mainly provided by the European Union’s Commission and the European Central Bank. One of the conditions of this support is radical fiscal measures (tax increases and government spending cuts), which their national governments have been forced to try to implement.

Although this painful medicine is necessary, and ultimately beneficial in various ways, the short term consequences of these measures aggravate weakness in GDP. The interest rates on their governments’ debts remain at crisis levels, reflecting market awareness of imminent borrowing needs as existing debts come up for repayment, and now well entrenched expectations of debt renegotiation or restructuring, voluntary or forced. Real interest rates in these coun-tries are further increased as a result of falling wage and price inflation, and this will lead to continuing weakness in investment and durable spending for some years.

Ten-year government debt annual interest rates (about 10% for Ireland and Portugal, and over 15% for Greece) are far above the benchmark rates for Germany (3.3%). With rates some 150 basis points above Germany’s, Spain and Italy also suffer a shadow of suspicion (albeit a much lower one) that a similar fate might possibly befall them. But Spain’s banks remain reasonably strong, despite the dramatic bust in its construction sector, thanks to the “dynamic provi-sioning” measures far‐sightedly imposed before the crisis by its central bank, and Italy has made substantial progress in recent years in trimming its very generous welfare and other state pension payments.

Greece’s major problem is a history of huge (and, until recently, largely concealed) government budget deficits, and an unfortunate tradition of substantial income tax avoidance or evasion. The ratio of Greek government debt to annual national income is now approximately double the Maastricht ceiling of 60%. Greece and Portugal (but not Ireland) have suffered from a series of trade deficits, reflecting growing uncompetitiveness that they can nolonger, given that they adopted the Euro, correct by the usual device of devaluation.

Ireland’s difficulties stem from the collapse of all its leading banks, whose creditors were given a government guaran-tee to stop a run, transforming a banking crisis into a government debt crisis. These three countries have the lowest mean GDP growth forecasts for 2011‐16 in the continent (about 8%, or 1.5% per year). As the Table shows, an unusu-ally large margin of uncertainty attaches to these three mean predictions.

44

The possibility of renegotiation or default on these debts constitutes a downside risk for GDP growth during the next five years elsewhere in Europe, most notably in France, Germany and the UK. These three countries have acombined gross exposure to Greek, Irish, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish (“PIIGS”) debts estimated to amount to some US$1.1 trillion.

There is some speculation that the Euro area may not survive the 2010‐11 PIIGS crisis intact. It is true that the com-mon currency project commands falling support among voters, and even some politicians; and the inability of PIIGS countries to react, as in the past, to macroeconomic imbalances and rising unemployment by devaluation or unilat-eral monetary policy relaxation is now seen as a severe handicap. But PIIGS countries’ debts are denominated in the euro, and devaluation would make servicing them more onerous, not less. Leaving the Euro area might entail eviction from the European Union itself; all PIIGS countries tend to benefit from favourable net transfers associated with its Common Agricultural Policy and other EU initiatives. Ironically, the country where the Euro is probably least popular is Germany, but it is very hard to imagine any of its political parties proposing abandonment of the common cur-rency. So it seems that the Euro area will survive, but with a much lengthened timetable for accession by non‐users such as Poland and Hungary.

Of the European Union’s core economies, Germany is forecast to grow most strongly (13% in 2011‐16). This reflects her relatively low unit labour costs, the result of continuing productivity and product quality improvements and very modest wage rises over several years. Her economy’s marked orientation towards exports, often to Asia, has enabled her to take advantage of rapid growth in the demand for increasingly sophisticated capital goods imports into China, and there is no reason to expect this to change in the near future.

While most other EU countries export little to the outside world, Germany’s position as a leading global exporter serves to insulate her in a period when most North Atlantic economies are accounting for a falling share of world output.

Our forecast for a fairly robust German growth performance implies that economic growth rates in most of her neigh-bouring countries (Austria, Belgium, France, and the Netherlands) will also be pulled up a little. Of these, the Belgian growth forecasts are the weakest, as a result of concerns about the country’s possible political fragmentation, and its relatively high ratio of government debt to national income.

The risks surrounding these mean growth forecasts are appreciable. There are several reasons for this. One factor here is the sharp rise in oil and other commodity prices. Norway and Russia are the only net exporters of oil in Europe; else-where, dearer oil implies increased costs of production, a net reduction in the economy’s overall demand for labour, and weakened domestic demand as both consumption and investment expenditures are trimmed back.

Whether oil prices will continue rising, as they have since late 2009 and did from 1998 to mid‐2008, or fall back sharply, as they did in the intervening period, only time will tell. If history repeats itself, the next five years are likely to witness spells of both strong growth and sharp falls in real oil prices. Cheaper energy would be especially beneficial for Germany and Eastern Europe. There is concern about the effects of continuing rapid growth in natural resource- hungry Asia; and the 2011 Arab Spring will have added a large risk premium to the price of oil, which subsequent events may see augmented or reduced. Option prices for oil point to an unusually large degree of uncertainty about the future evolution of this key set of prices.

A second uncertainty relates to exchange rates. It is possible that the pressures accumulating from the combination of policy interest rates held at almost zero for a prolonged period, massive open market bond purchasesthrough its quantitative easing programmes, and the apparent inability or unwillingness of politicians to address its unsustainably mounting government debts, could lead to a sudden fall in the value of the US dollar (and currencies linked to it) in terms of the Euro and other European currencies. The balance of econometric evidence and theoretical models would incline one to predict a fall in European countries’ growth and a rise in its levels of unemployment, at least for a while, in those circumstances. Inflation would be checked, however. Monetary policy reactions might then serve to limit, over time, any squeeze on output and jobs that might otherwise occur.

The third source of uncertainty has to do with risks of financial instability. Not all of Europe’s banks are thought to be as fully protected against adverse shocks as they might be, particularly during the gradual transition to stiffer capital requirements for banks to be imposed through Basel III. More generally, the policy of ultra‐low policy interest rates led by the US Federal Reserve in 2008‐9 bears some resemblances to the previous cheap money period (2001‐4),

45

which many observers believe constituted one of the main forces precipitating the financial crash of 2008. On top of this come worries about government debt sustainability, which centre on Greece, Ireland, and Portugal, but are by no means limited to them.

In sum, the next five years are likely to bring faster growth than in the past five, and an especially strong performance in the poorer East than the mature Centre (Germany and its neighbours) or the debt‐saddled South and West. But as always, unexpected events are also bound to occur!

On a daily basis, we witness uncertainty. In words, management bids farewell to the world of stability, yet this is contradicted by our day-to-day actions. “Always the same” is the response pattern followed in the daily (leadership) madness. Every day we experience more uncertainty and less control. And every day we learn that we cannot move forward with established behaviour patterns, the patterns learned in a world that appears to be more unstable and indistinct. But what can we do about it?

In his keynote, Stefan Kaduk provides the answer: “A radical change of direction in managerial thinking is required. Whenever pressure is high, sales are falling or goals are not reached, we automatically react with learned patterns and convictions. The old behaviour and leadership patterns no longer work.”

The new world calls for managers to venture into the unforeseeable. They must find the courage to experiment. Mould breakers experiment with the intention of being able to better understand organisations and systems by virtue of their own logic, provoking counter-intuitive and allegedly unprofessional procedures and experiences, mobilising potentials and concealed energies and recognising limiting thinking patterns.

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 Management

2.1 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.

59

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 Art. 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. Definitions

1.1 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. Exemption

2.1 “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 Infringementa. The agreements breaching Article 81 are automatically void and unforceable. b. 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.

The Board of Directors shall determine the agenda, and any full member may submit a written application for addition to the agenda up to a final date of one week before the meeting. Whether such addition is made is up to the Board of Directors, which shall decide at its own discretion and in duty bound. However, it is required to make such addition if such application is supported by one tenth or more of the full members. Any addition is to be notified to the members in the same way as the invitation to the meeting was issued. If that is not possible, the Meeting Chairman shall provide information of such addition at the beginning of the meeting.

(2) A special Meeting of Members shall be convened if required by the interests of the Association or if 30 percent or more of the full members submit a written request to the Board of Directors to that effect.

(3) The Meeting of Members is responsible for ordering the business of the Association, except where allocated by the present Bylaws to another body.

Mail Ballots. All matters of business, which are subject to a vote, can be submitted to the membership by mail ballot. If a vote is carried out by mail ballot a respite of 60 (sixty) days needs to be granted to the membership to turn in their vote. If the membership has been notified at the time of submission of the mail ballot that the poll shall be deemed closed as soon as a, for the issue in question necessary, majority is reached, this 60 day period can be abbreviated. The mail ballot can be carried out on printed matter or electronically.

These provisions for a mail ballot are also in effect for all matters reserved or assigned to the Board of Directors.

If notice thereof is given with the mail ballot, the 60-day period may be waived upon receipt of ballots from a majority of the membership.

The Meeting of Members shall be quorate if properly convened and if at least half of the full members are present or duly represented, or in the case of adoption of a resolution on dissolution of the Association or expulsion of a member at least two-thirds of the full members are present or duly represented. If the requisite attendance is not achieved, the Meeting of Members shall be convened again, observing the provisions applicable for convening a meeting; a new meeting shall be quorate even if attendance is less than the specified levels but at least three full members with voting rights are present, provided that the invitation convening such second meeting contains a reference to the fact that the meeting will be quorate if three or more full members with voting rights are present.
