5.6.2. Strategy and focus adjustment 2007
During the proposal preparation, SPEED was in close cooperation with Mr. Stamatiou
(Greek CB) and they decided firstly in common that the promotion activities should focus,
for 2007, on Ecolabel on Textiles and Copying & Graphic Paper.
During the kick-off meeting, SPEED presented the aforementioned to the Commission
and finally it was agreed that the focus would be on primarily “Textiles”, as a lot of work
has already be done by the Project “Green Drachma” within the framework of Life
Program and the sectoral companies are already informed. In consequence the target for
2007 is to acquire as many as possible to apply.
The activities 2007 included the following:
� Status Quo research, Basic research
� Definition and contacts with stakeholders,
� Networking with stakeholders,
� Database with companies of product groups in focus,
