ΘΕΜΑ : ECO LABEL σε επιχειρήσεις παραγωγής στρωμάτων

Αγαπητέ κύριε Γενικέ,

Θα θέλαμε, με την παρούσα επιστολή, να σας ενημερώσουμε για τις ενέργειες προώθησης του EU Flower σε επιλεγμένους κλάδους προϊόντων. Συγκεκριμένα, η ΕΕ έχει αναθέσει σε ομάδα Ευρωπαίων Συμβούλων, στην οποία μετέχει και η εταιρεία μας ενέργειες προώθησης του Ευρωπαϊκού Οικολογικού Σήματος. Οι ενέργειες αυτές περιλαμβάνουν παρουσιάσεις σε ημερίδες, άρθρα και δημοσιεύσεις σε περιοδικά, έκδοση ενημερωτικού υλικού στα Ελληνικά και αρχική ενημέρωση ενός αριθμού επιχειρήσεων οι οποίες έχουν ενδιαφέρον για την εφαρμογή του Οικολογικού Σήματος.

Σε σχέση με το Ευρωπαϊκό Οικολογικό Σήμα στις επιχειρήσεις παραγωγής στρωμάτων ύπνου, σας στέλνουμε συνημμένα το παρακάτω ενημερωτικό υλικό:

o Fact_bedmattresses_2002_en.pdf : Ενημερωτικό φύλλο της ΕΕ στα Αγγλικά

o l_23620020904el00100015.pdf: Απόφαση της ΕΕ σχετικά με τα κριτήρια απονομής του οικολογικού σήματος στα στρώματα

Στη διάθεσή σας, για οποιαδήποτε περαιτέρω πληροφορία ή διευκρίνιση.

Με εκτίμηση
