The Lube magazine is the official journal of UEIL, the trade association in Europe representing the interests of companies involved in the lubricant Industry. The article was published early June; attached is a copy of the submitted article (ANNEX 1a). This has led also to the publication by Ciba representatives of another article: “Are you Eco-ready?

Article to be published at the end of 2007 or the start in of 2008 (draft; ANNEX 2). � (2c) Article for the “European Ecolabel Marketing project newsletter” Finally, a short article was prepared for the European Ecolabel Marketing project newsletter based a the poster presentation given in Gothenburg (see 6 and ANNEX 6) � (3) Screening VAMIL products on compatibility with the EU Ecolabel criteria In 1996, the Dutch Ministry of Environment (VROM) issued a policy in favour of environmentally friendly lubricants. The tax incentives affecting environmentally friendly lubricants are operating under the Dutch VAMIL, which allows for accelerated depreciation of environmental investments. Due to the fact that already 4 producers have 12 products that qualify for the EU Ecolable Lubricants, by the end of 2007, the Dutch government decided to adopt the EU Ecolabel as the standard for the VAMIL regulation from 2008 on. Suppliers and producers of candidate EU Ecolabel lubricants show a proactive attitude in this. Anticipating on the new government policy to adopt the EU Ecolabel as the basis for the VAMIL regulation (and the implementation of sustainable/green procurement policy by 2010) they also start to focus on the re-formulation of products. At the same time individual companies and their association (VSN) have stimulated the Dutch government to adopt the EU Ecolabel as the basis for the VAMIL regulation. (planning of screening activities see 4c). � (4a) Participation in meeting of companies intending to develop novel lubricants meeting the EU Ecolabel requirements on 11 March 2007, with Ciba, Fuchs and Shell, IVAM participated in meeting on the European Ecolabel in Freiburg, Germany. The three companies that decided to join forces in order to develop new lubricants for the Black Forest region meeting the European Ecolabel. The local authorities (represented by the regional president of the Black Forest) are committed to this initiative as end user of these new lubricants in the Black Forest region. During the meeting IVAM presented the EU Ecolabel and provided advice on how to proceed with the formulation of novel products that should meet the EU Ecolabel criteria (see PP ANNEX 3). After a meeting in November with a representative of Ciba, one of the main Black Forest partners, contacts and activities in this context will continue in 2008. 175
