The European Pricing Platform (EPP) is the n°1 knowledge sharing platform for the European price management and profit optimisation profession. The EPP is a not-for-prfofit platform, dedicated to the professional development of companies and individuals involved in pricing and profit optimisation.
We believe:
• That in the next decades pricing and profit optimisation, will be one of the most important value drivers for organisations in Europe;
• That in European companies the need for pricing experts, tools, and capabilities has been increasing in the past years;
• That pricing decision makers in these companies are in search of best-practice knowledge-sharing, pricing know-how and know-who.
OUR EPP MISSIONThe EPP is devoted:
• To be the n°1 on- and offline pricing knowledge sharing platform for pricing and profit optimisation management in Europe;
• To support pricing and profit optimisation decision makers with pricing knowledge sharing and tools in the complex environment of strategic pricing;
• To be the platform where pricing decision makers can extend their network of pricing professionals and experts;
• To put pricing and profit optimisation on the CXO agenda in 2014 and beyond.

ABOUT THE EUROPEAN PRICING PLATFORM (EPP)
European Pricing Platform | 5
CODE OF CONDUCT
Why a code of conduct?
During all activities organised by the European Pricing Platform (EPP), pricing professionals (participants) improve and exchange their pricing knowledge and gain inspiration. EPP provides objective and general information enabling participants to develop their own pricing strategies. Both EPP and participants win by ensuring a correct platform of discussion and learning.
EPP wants to ensure that
1. The presentations and information provided at the meetings are compatible with relevant competition law;2. Participants are committed to adherence to all applicable laws and regulations, in particular all competition laws.
Principles and rules at EPP meetings
1. No anti-competitive arrangements
During meetings it is prohibited to make any agreement that infringes, or possibly may infringe, effective competition laws. Infringements of competition law include:
• The direct or indirect fixing of (horizontal or vertical) prices or any other trading conditions;• Limitation or control production, markets, technical development or investements;• Sharing markets;• Agreements regarding the common refusal to supply;• Al written or oral agreements and practices between undertakings which have as object or effect the
prevention, restriction, or distortion of competition law.
2. No exchange of commercially sensitive information
The exchange of general information on pricing and a description or general discussion about the problems regarding pricing is in principle permitted. Exchange of information is mainly prohibited when it is company specific and can therefore be used (amongst other things) for controlling fulfilment of existing pricing, production or market partition agreements, or other agreements which infringe effective competition.

3. About the use of calculation schemes
When calculation schemes are formulated by participants or by the organisation explaining which items are relevant for calculating prices, only objective information which makes it easier to make a cost struc-ture, can be provided. The calculation scheme or information drawn from the scheme cannot be direc-tional for the pricing policy of participants. The scheme may not lead to elimination of the normal uncer-tainty in the market about the (intended) market behaviour of market participants.
4. Obligation to report infringements
Every participant has the obligation to report any infringements of the competition law that he or she observes during EPP activities, to the EPP organisation. In order to maintain a state-of-the-art pricing knowledge sharing platform, ot is important for all participants that we assure to prevent all prohibitied behaviour taking place within the context of the activities organised by the European Pricing Platform. It is therefore necessary to strictly follow this code of conduct.
Note: This code of conduct remains, as far as relevant, applicable outside the scope of organised meet-ings, such as during interactive sessions and during informal discussions afterwards (for example during a drink at the bar at the end of the programme).

PROFIT MANAGEMENT AND OPTIMISATION FOR SERVICE PARTS
PROS OverviewPROS Overview
“Where PROS stood out relative to the competition was in the
flexibility of the solution and the speed of implementation. Total
cost of ownership was another key driving factor.”
Sanjay Smith, Partner, Carlisle & Company
Visit www.pros.com and get in the fast lane for pricing and sales effectiveness.
Outperforming service parts companies realize that the enormous amounts of data they collect contains
strategic information about their markets, customers, service parts lifecycle, segmentation,
and competitive data. Companies that leverage this data as an asset can better
serve their customers and outperform their competition by driving increased sales and revenue.
Start YOUR engines today
The market is changing and you need to keep an eye on many factors to effectively manage price – market share, alternative markets, country regulations, etc. And you have to move fast. The complexity you face can make it all but impossible to answer some essential pricing questions:
• Will our quoted prices meet our company’s profitability targets?
• What are the root causes of profitability problems?• How are pricing decisions disseminated to and
adopted by dealers?• Are dealers passing pricing changes to the
end market?• How can my company quickly react to change?• How do companies like ours manage pricing
strategies across geographies?
If you can’t answer these, how can you improve margin and know that your pricing is profitable? PROS can help. We have more than 27 years of experience helping companies of all sizes understand and answer these questions in a way that drives profitability. We provide tools to help companies manage prices and costs and deliver sustained improvements in revenue and margin growth to their businesses.

ARE YOU SERIOUS ABOUT PRICING?
Did you know?
1. The majority, 56%, of European companies overestimate their current overall pricing maturity level.
2. In reality, 42% of companies do not have transactional control over pricing yet. There are still too many obvious price & mar-gin leakages, insufficient pricing governance, poor visibility cost to serve...etc...
3. For 90% of pricing practictioners, their biggest challenge is to bring the pricing function’s goals into alignment with sales, marketing and fi-nance.
Pricing leaders of tomorrow
88% of companies on level 2 of pricing maturity, have the ambition to move to level 3 during the next 12 months. The majority of pricing practitioners see a powerful price optimisation software as essential in the process.
Find out more about EPP’s Certi-fied Pricing Manager pogramme and how it can help you get to the next level.
