National Implementation by the CB

1. Fix your implementation plan 2013

The first step is to draft and agree with the project team a national plan for the implementation of the EU Ecolabel for printed paper products in your country including:

• BUILD-UP YOUR NATIONAL SUPPORT NETWORK
  (contacts with industry representatives, special interest media, etc.)
   
• PREPARE YOUR DATA BASE AND GET IN CONTACT with printers and purchasers,
  split them into a hot-list of those with high interest (EMAS/ISO14001 companies,
  green purchasers etc.) and those for which you need more information
   
• INITIATE WORKSHOPS FOR PRINTERS AND KEY STAKEHOLDERS:
  Organise and/or initiate national workshop for printers and relevant key
  stakeholders of the printing industry, until June 2013 latest (organised in
  cooperation with key stakeholders, such as business representative
  organisations, printer's associations, etc.
  
  
• PREPARE YOUR INFO PACKAGE - for printing and publishing companies
  and all relevant key stakeholders by means of info material, articles in media,
  national Application-Guides and forms, web information
   
• DEMAND-SIDE ACTIVITIES: promotion of the EU Ecolabel towards companies
  and institutions placing offers with printing companies (GREEN PURCHASEMENT)
