Material for participants: EU Ecolabel folder including hardcopies of programme, 1page short info, Commission Decision and fact sheet for printed paper products, list of auditors and consultants
Results: The participants were very interested in the EU Ecolabel for printed paper products, approx. five showed direct interest to apply soon, others intend to extend to EU Flower during the renewal of the AT ecolabel. - It was suggested that the official award ceremony should take place during the event „Golden Pixel Award 2013“ (www.golden-pixel.eu). The Austrian CB seems to welcome this idea.
Next steps: mailing to companies invited which did not participate in the Vienna workshop. Maybe another workshop can be organised in Salzburg for the central and western part of Austria.
