On behalf of EPDA’s Board of Directors it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to EPDA’s 42nd Annual Conference here in Barcelona. The Board and our new staff at SAS have organised a challenging and rewarding programme of events planned for the three days, including sessions that focus on successfully breaking into new markets and taking control of the digital revolution. I would ask you give a warm welcome to all first time attendees, to Polylanema, our newest distributor member from Portugal, to the representatives present from new EPDA management team, SAS Event Management, and to Allott and Associates, the specialist business-to-business agency heading an integrated international PR and marketing campaign to raise EPDA’s profile. The business programme includes the popular “Ignite Sessions”, the “Distributor and Manufacturer council meetings”, and returning after great success in 2014 the “Round Table sessions” with three new topics to debate. I am sure that you will give them all a very warm EPDA welcome and I hope that you have a very informative and enjoyable 2015 conference. Yours sincerely Other highlights of the conference include the manufacturer showcase, the Gala Dinner and plenty of opportunities to network with industry colleagues from all over Europe, and further afield. We have also put together a lively extra-curricular programme, giving delegates a chance to experience some of the vibrant cultural scenes for which Barcelona is so famous.

Christina Granacher of Angst + Pfister Group seconded. 2015 Membership Dues David Ladyman shared news of a proposed dues structure that was agreed during the EPDA Board Meeting the day before. In light of members’ comments regarding the number of distributor members at each Conference, the Board had discussed at length how best to proceed. David drew the members’ attention to the fact that this year there are 32 distributor member companies, but only 14 of those member companies are represented at the Conference. David Ladyman said that with this in mind the EPDA Board recommends that for 2015, Distributor member dues will increase by 3 per cent (to €1384). This payment will also include a complementary Conference registration. David Ladyman explained that this financial incentive is to encourage distributor members to attend the Conference, because it is their attendance that brings value to the manufacturer members. With regard to Manufacturer member dues, there is a proposed increase in 2015 to €1950. This cost will include a complementary table top display at the 2015 Conference, but not a complementary registration. David Ladyman explained the opportunities and value of the table top displays. He added that the EPDA Board will look into extending the viewing time of these displays in the 2015 Conference itinerary. EPP Deutschland GmbH to EPDA Board for two years were approved by written ballot. Of the 30 votes cast in total all were in favour. This equates to a majority of 100 per cent in favour. EPDA Conferences 2015 and 2016 David Ladyman confirmed that Barcelona had been chosen as the venue for EPDA’s 2015 Conference. He advised that details will follow regarding the Conference in 2016, and added that several cities in Germany are to be evaluated. Further Business Statement by Nick Kraguljac Nick Kraguljac of Zell-Metall GmbH Engineering Plastics made a short statement about the IAPD/EPDA alliance. He spoke of the importance of an IAPD and EPDA alliance and the value this alliance adds to the Association. He referred to the alliance survey conducted in advance of the conference and asked members to raise their hands to convey support for the Board to finalise agreement for the alliance. All members were in favour. David Ladyman thanked Nick Kraguljac for his statement. He said that Kevin Short of Laird Plastics will be facilitating discussions with IAPD. David Ladyman confirmed that EPDA is keen to make an alliance work and negotiations are ongoing. Adjournment Hearing no further business, David Ladyman adjoined the meeting at 11.45 a.m. CEST. Respectfully submitted, Jackie Driss Laurent, EPDA Accounts Services Coordinator. David Ladyman said that Steffen Oellers and Stefan Willing will be discussing this new dues structure again at the Manufacturers’ Council Meeting on Saturday 17 May. The new dues structure was approved by written ballot. Of the 28 votes cast in total there were 27 votes in favour. This equates to a majority of 96.5 per cent in favour.

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. • T here is an agreement wherever there is the necessary consensus between the parties determining the lines of their mutual behaviour on the market. • A n 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. Bylaws 1.3. Concerted Practices •Coordinated behaviour or aware cooperation without any formal agreement or decision having been reached. 2. Exemption 2.1. “De Minimus” Notice The Commission issued the “de minimus” notice n 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.
