Questionnaire for workshop participants - EU Ecolabel Marketing for ...

5.6.4. Results by the end of 2007
The expected results of the promotion activities in Greece regard the:
• Networking with stakeholders of the Greek market. This will be a first substantial
step towards the promotion of the Ecolabel in the specific target sectors. Gaining
the support of the stakeholders will open the way to convince the manufacturers
to apply.
• Recognition of the Ecolabel benefits by the manufacturers and stakeholders and
acknowledgement of the EU Ecolabel benefits.
• Acquisition of companies. The target of acquiring up to five (5) companies both in
Cyprus and Greece, as convincing them to apply for the Ecolabel during the
contracting period is a very difficult target. A lot of work is needed to persuade
the decision makers of the companies that the Flower is an advantage for the
promotion of their products. The major target is to clarify that the requirements
and the application process are not so demanding to deter them to apply.
5.6.5. Conclusion for 2008
According with the Ecolabel situation in Greece and the interest of some companies in the
relevant sectors were acquisition activities took place in 2006 and 2007, in 2008 we are
expecting mainly declaration of interest, and there are possibilities for applications, with
most possible the 2006 product groups.
