INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the 10th PDA Europe Annual Conference!Polyurea, the Nice Technology!

7th - 9th November 2016 in Nice, France

We are pleased to welcome you in Nice for the 10th annual conference of the Polyurea Development Asso-ciation Europe.

With this edition, the Program Committee and the Board of Directors want to put Polyurea through its pac-es. We have put together a program, which will certainly provoke interest and lively discussions among the participants.

There will be ample opportunity to attend presentations, covering the most important features and detailed insights on topics ranging from surface preparation to application of Polyurea in different fields and under different and unusual circumstances as well as the latest updates on raw materials, market developments and regulations.

In addition, case studies will show practical aspects to be taken into consideration when dealing with Poly-urea; during application, but also what to do when Polyurea needs to be removed. Information on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and health regulations will provide practical guidance on necessary safety pre-cautions when dealing with chemicals.

Besides the official part there will be sufficient opportunity to build up or maintain your network in a relaxing atmosphere.

We hope to meet your expectations and are looking forward to a successful event.

PRESENTATIONS

Pasquick - Toolbox: How the Polyisocyanate Selection Influences the PropertiesTuesday, 8 November, 11:00 - 11:30 Karl Wuehrer, Covestro

11

After joining Bayer in 1987 he worked in the development/marketing group of corrosion protection and solvent-free polyurethane coatings. In 1998, Karl Wuehrer moved to Barcelona/Spain to lead the technical service group construction ma-terials for Iberia.

After a second international assignment in Pittsburgh/USA as a business development manager for concrete protection, 2002-2005, Karl moved back to Germany heading the application development group construction coatings.With beginning Sept. 1, 2015, Bayer MaterialScience AG became Covestro AG.From the beginning Karl is involved with the PDA Europe and served as a president in 2009/2010.

After presenting the Pasquick toolbox idea at last year conference we would like to dive deeper in the possibilities of modifying the performance of –aliphatic- hand-applied polyurea coatings by using different polyisocyanates and/or polyisocyanates blends.Following the development of a new resin, Desmophen NH 2850 XP and a new flexible hardener, Desmodur E 2863 XP, we focused our developments on the performance profile testing of our Pasquick coatings in combination with typical representatives from our aromatic and aliphatic curing agents. This includes polyisocyanates based on most of the available monomers, TDI, MDI, HDI, IPDI and PDI.

This presentation will present the results of the performance testing, including mechanical performance as well as application behavior.

Parking Decks - Specification and Guideline for Parking Facility OwnersTuesday, 8 November, 10:30 - 11:00 Ylva Edwards, Swedish Cement and Concrete Research Institute

Since November 2009, Ylva Edwards is employed by The Swedish Cement and Concrete Research Insti-tute (CBI) as Senior Researcher, and since 2012 Associate Professor (Docent) in Structural Engineering and Bridges at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm.

Before that, she was employed at the KTH within Highway Engineering for ten years and got her Doc-toral degree there in 2005 (Influence of waxes on bitumen and asphalt concrete mixture performance). She also worked at the Swedish Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI) for many years as research-er and research leader within different highway material areas

In collaboration with manufacturers / contractors and building owners, the Swedish Cement and Concrete Research Institute is since 2013 conducting a research project concerning parking decks. The purpose of the project is to develop a basis for how a parking deck should be designed with regard to floor coverings on concrete.

The resistance to studded tires is here of great importance. Field test application of 22 different coating systems has been carried out in three garages. The products involved are: mastic asphalt, hard concrete, different polyurethane, polyurea and acrylate based systems. Test slabs have been applied in connection with the work on site, for testing wear resistance in the laboratory. The project was presented in Krakow 2015 and in Berlin 2016.

Since then, yet another stage of the project has been applied for and granted. This Stage IV of the project involves follow up studies of all test areas applied since 2013.

Finally, specifications and guidelines based on type of construction, environment, needs and desires are presented.

PRESENTATIONSRoof Waterproofing with PolyureaTuesday 8 November, 9:00 - 9:30Dirk Uebelhoer, Sika

PIR-a New Class of Polyurea Based AdhesivesTuesday 8 November, 9:30 - 10:00Andreas Dobmann, nolax

10

Dirk Uebelhoer has received an engineer’s degree in Chemical Science at the University of applied Science in Stuttgart in 1991. He has 25years experience in the construction chemicals industry, working as technical manager, product line manager, sales manager and technical marketing responsible in the paint, protective coatings, flooring and water proofing manufacturing and polymers industry. His functional experience includes specifying, testing, sales, marketing, strategy appraisal, due diligence and business management in markets which have included commodities and engineered tailor made solutions, as well as presence in market related associations and standard setting committees.

Andreas Dobmann has a degree in chemical engineering at the Ingenieurschule beider Basel (Switzerland). In the same year he joined Ecomelt/Collano and started working in the R&D field of hot melt adhesives.During his career, he worked in several positions in R&D, marketing, technology and innovation management.Since 2008 he works for nolax AG in Switzerland. He is currently responsible for know-how management which includes IP management and start-up transfers.

2K Polyurea based adhesives, well known for their ultrafast setting time, have been introduced by nolax during the past few years for several end applications like wood bonding, glazing industry and part assembly for the automotive market.

PIR (polyisocyanurate), based on conventional polyurethanes, are thermoset polymers which are often used for thermal insulation foams. PIR polymers show outstanding thermal resistance. They are capable of withstanding temperatures above 200°C (com-pared with max 150°C of polyurethanes).

The combination of this two polymer classed resp. chemical reactions (polyurea and PIR) have led to a new class of ultrafast setting adhesives, which show the following profile:-wide adhesion spectrum to different substrates-excellent shear strength at elevated temperatures-high impact resistance (depending on the formulation)-economical interesting, especially for bulk applications like adhesive injection technology

Product performance as well as possible end applications will be presented and discussed during the presentation.

The application of polyurea on roofs as a waterproofing layer is well known. Most likely substrates are concrete, metal sheets or different types of insulation. The project, consisted in the application ofa waterpoofing system, based on a polyurea membrane on a roof made by oriented structural boards (OSB). The execution of the work had to be planned carefully. Measurements had to be taken to verify the moisture of the wood, the right priming material choosen, as well as the best suitable top coat.

The requirements to the primer were defined as good adhesion to the OSB, also forming a film to have an additional safety barrier. Due to environmental reasons the primer was requested to be solvent free.The requirements to the membrane are well defined to be flexible enough over the joints of the wooden panels to be watertight when movement caused by temperature takes place.The top coat is required to provide a bright color to prevent from extremely heating, to give UV-protection to the membrane and also provide the needed fire resistance.

The presentation gives you an overview of how the requirements were defined and the choice of the material was done.

PRESENTATIONSScience of Safety-PolyureaTuesday, 8 November, 14:00 - 14:30Dr Jill Gulliver, 3M

Dr Jill Gulliver has worked for 3M for the past 17 years. In this time she has worked in 3M’s European Indus-trial Hygiene Laboratory, before moving on to become a technical specialist in personal protective equip-ment. Jill has a particular interest in respiratory protection, and has worked within the manufacturers group on Gloves and Clothing in the UK, which contributes to the European standards for this product area.

The polyurea industry is at the forefront of technology, and the safety of the people who work within the industry, or with the products the industry produce is of key importance.What should you be aware of as far as Health and Safety goes, and what personal protective equipment should you consider. Is it all about isocyanates, or is there more to consider? Obviously, the answer is yes, and in this short presentation I hope to present a glimpse into the world of Health and Safety.

Case Study: Aliphatic Polyurea Floor Coating of the Technical Center of Baulé, Romans-Sur-Isère, FranceWednesday 9 November, 09:00 - 09:30Karl Wuehhrer, Covestro

One of our latest applications of a solvent free roller applied aliphatic polyurea floor coating based on the polyaspartic technology was done at the technical center of Baulé Eslatomers. The floor of technical center, roughly 280 m², was refurbished within 2 days. That time includes the surface preparation, including a primer on the first day and the application of a 2 layer aliphatic polyurea roller coating based on the polyaspartic technology. On the 3rd day the installations were brought back into the technical center and the production could start again. We will present the individual steps, comments from the site manager and some information on the used coating system.

Horizontal & Vertical Steel Surface PreparationTuesday 8 November, 15:00 - 15:30Andy Reinders, Blastrac

Andy Reineders works at Blastrac in the position of sales since 1997 with experiences in the field of dust free Horizontal & Vertical steel blasting and its applications. Currently creating new markets demands in various countries.

Lonza developed a new aromatic chain extender with controlled reactivity profile for the polyurea industry.The objective for the development is a different reactivity profile compared to presently available chain extenders. The different reactivity gives manufacturers more freedom in formulating and the applicators the opportunity to use other appli-cation methods. The first evaluation of the coating properties also shows potential to expand the use to more critical application fields.

Aesthetic Spraying with a Fast Set System; Nightmare or Mindset?Tuesday, 8 November, 13:30 - 14:00Jos De Graauw. Krypton Chemical

12

Jos de Graauw has over 15 years of experience in spraying polyurea.After working as a building inspector for several years, he started spraying bedliners in Ontario, Canada. After gaining experience in the United States, and learning from professionals like Dudley Primeaux and Marc Broeckaert, he launched his own company in 2002. In only five years, Holland Polyurea grew into one of the largest Polyurea companies in Europe.Since 2014 he is Technical Manager for Krypton Chemical in the Netherlands.

We know since the invention of polyurea that the nice, small perfect sprayed sample piece is actually a goal-stopper for the actual project itself. A fast set system will always produce overspray but there are trick tips and techniques to make it look as professional as the material deserves.

Krypton Chemical has been working for many years to develop one of the widest polyurea product ranges in the market, taking care that product performance and polymers are to the highest level, and so is the level of reactivity (gel time and tack free time) and its consistency over time and between batches.

It is now time to focus on the next most important subject: the actual application of these polymers to make the most out of them. With that we mean, are there limitations and if so, what are they? The company built up in 2015 a new Technical Centre in The Netherlands to train installers with all the right techniques to have a perfect spray technique, supported by professionals with more than 20 years experience in polyurea.As mentioned above, giving away smooth sprayed samples can mean arguments on the jobsite if later this finish cannot be deliv-ered…

That’s why at the new Technical Centre trainings focus on spraying techniques in general:1. Spraying with overspray2. Spraying without overspray3. Spraying (slow) polyurea on site4. Spraying different systemsOn this subject there are various components and factors we touch, for example how to:1. Prepare scaffolding2. Prepare masking3. How to do overlap and day joints4. How to apply the perfect overspray.

These guidelines and presentation will be provided to illustrate everyone on the challenges and techniques to obtainthe best possible look for our applications. It is however very important to always keep in mind that the best sprayingtechniques are learned by experience.

PRESENTATIONSNew Generation of Polyureas for Roofing ApplicationsWednesday 9 November, 11:00 - 11:30Hugo Herault, Krypton Chemical

Hugo Herault worked for Arco Chemical, renamed afterwards as Lyondell, undertaking several assign-ments in corporate planning and analysis and sales & marketing.Since 1999, he has been the General Manager of Krypton Chemical, specializing in Polyurethane and Polyurea.

Since many years there are many systems in the market combining Polyurethane Foams and Polyurea Elastomers for roofing applications. These combinations provide important benefits in roof refurbish-ment as was outlined in Krypton Chemical’s presentation during 2015 PDA conference in Berlin. But they also pose important challenges due to the multiple layers of products which are involved, reaction to humid /moist substrates, capturing dew/condensation overnight, etc.

There is a new generation of polyureas appearing in the market which solves some of these issues for some types of roofs which consists in expandable polyurea membranes that can overcome important differences in height and cracks in roofs due to their swelling properties, while offering important elongation and enough puncture resistance as per ETAG 005 requirements. Expand-able polyureas widen the scope of the roofing market and will allow this technology to be used in some applications where prec-edent systems became prohibitive due to cost reasons and complexity. But they also have some important limitations which must be known before undertaking projects with them.

Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate (MDI) Regulatory UpateWednesday 9 November, 09:30 - 10:00Erik Vangronsveld, Huntsman

Erik Vangronsveld, Strategic Issue Management Leader Huntsman PolyurethanesErik is an Industrial Hygienist by education and his expertise is in the field of industrial hygiene air sam-pling and analysis of isocyanates. He has been involved in investigating polyurethane (PU) industry workplaces for over 20 years.Erik is currently the EU Regional Representative of the International Isocyanate Institute (III) and in this role a member of the III Scientific Committee. III evaluates, reviews and contracts scientific research on TDI and MDI to support the scientific strategy of the Institute with respect to improving the understand-ing of workplace health and environmental hazards and exposure risks where TDI and MDI are used.

Erik is active in various groups the European Diisocyanate & Polyol producers Association (ISOPA). ISOPA engages on PU EHS issues in Europe, develops and disseminates information regarding the safe handling of TDI and MDI. Erik has/is heavenly involved in ex-posure risk assessment within the REACH regulatory framework and in development of product stewardship programs and is the MDI-MDA Consortium Chair of the Technical Coordination Group.He is also the Belgian representative in ISO Committees on Workplace Atmosphere/Organic Vapors Measurements [ISO TC 146/SC2/WG4] and Workplace Atmospheres/Dermal Exposure Measurement [ISO TC 146/SC2/WG8].

MDI based substances are subject to evaluation under the REACH Community Rolling Action Plan [CoRAP]. A final decision on 4.4’MDI has been reached, a draft decision on mixed isomers [2.4’ & 4.4’ MDI] and two MDI prepolymers are on the 2018 CoRAP evaluation list. An update will be given on the status of these decisions and what the industry is doing to ensure minimum impact to the users of MDI. As regulators in EU have some concerns regarding the impact of isocyanates on human health and on the way they are handled, in a second part more specific information is given on how to use MDI safely while spraying: All chemicals have a certain degree of hazard ranging from zero to very high. Working with chemicals requires an understanding of the hazards of these chemicals, the effects they might have if not used safely, how to react in cases of exposure incidents and most important how to prevent exposure incidents. This part will describe the typical hazards involved with polyurea spray and which best practice technical, organizational and individual health and safety precautions can be taken.

Après avoir obtenu en 1987 son baccalauréat en France, Bernadette est partie poursuivre des études de chimie dans le cadre de la formation continue du groupe Bayer. En 1994 elle y continue sa carrière dans le département de recherche des matières premières pour revêtements PU. En 1998, elle prend la responsabilité du laboratoire d’application des revêtements industriels, notamment dans le domaine du Coil Coating. En 2011 elle rejoint le département du marketing technique pour prendre en charge plus particulièrement des domaines de la construction et de la protection anticorrosion. En 2013 elle devient technico-commerciale dans la nouvelle entité Covestro qui résulte de la séparation

de Bayer MaterialScience.

Après avoir présenté l’idée de “Pasquick-Toolbox” durant la conférence de l’année dernière, nous voulons plonger plus profondé-ment dans les possibilités de modifier la performance des revêtements polyuréa à base aliphatique, appliqués manuellement, en utilisant différentes polyisocyanates et des mixtions de polyisocyanates.Poursuivants les développements de la nouvelle résine, Desmophen NH 2850 XP et du nouveau durcisseur flexible, Desmodur E 2863 XP, nous focalisons nos développements sur la mise en pratique de nos revêtements Pasquick, ensemble avec les durcisseurs standards à base aromatique et aliphatique. Ceci inclus les polyisocyanates basés sur la plupart des monomères disponibles TDI, MDI, HDI, IPDI et PDI.Cette présentation va indiquer les résultats obtenus durant la mise en pratique, y compris la performance mécanique et la conduite

Pulvérisation esthétique avec un système à prise rapide. Cauchemar ou état d’esprit?Mardi 8 Novembre, 14:00 - 14:30Hugo Herault, Krypton Chemical

Hugo Herault a travaillé pour Arco Chemical, qui est devenu Lyondell. Il était responsible de plusieur-sprojets en Corporate Planning & Analysis and Sales & Marketing.Depuis 1999 il est le General Manager de Krypton Chemical, specialize en polyurethane et polyurée.

Nous savons depuis l’invention du polyurée que le bel échantillon, parfaitement recouvert est en réalité un frein au projet.Un système à prise rapide produira toujours de l’excédent mais des astuces et des techniques existent pour obtenir un résultat professionnel tel que le mérite le produit.

Krypton Chemical travaille depuis plusieurs années au développement d’une des plus larges gammes de polyurée du marché, en s’assurant que la performance et les polymers du produit sont au plus haut niveau. Il en va de même pour le niveau de réactivité (temps de durcissement et de séchage pour être

sec au touché) et pour son uniformité dans le temps.

Il est maintenant temps de nous concentrer sur le sujet le plus important : l’application de ces polymers pour en retirer le meilleur. Y-a-t-il des limites et si ou, lesquelles? En 2015, Krypton Chemical a construit un centre technique aux Pays-Bas pour former les applicateurs aux bonnes techniques afin d’avoir une technique de pulvérisation parfaite. Les formations sont données par de pro-fessionnels qui ont plus de 20 ans d’expérience dans le polyurée.

Since 1 June 2007, in the European Union, the chemicals regulation on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisierund and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) entered into force. The polyurethane industry is committed to the safe use of their substances. In October 2016, the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (BAuA) will transmit the dossier on the restriction of Diisocyanates under REACH to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).The restriction dossier will suggest beyond the REACH registration dossier, mandatory training for industrial and commercial use of diisocyanates.

The subsequent legislative process at EU level is expected to last 2-3 years, after which the regulation will enter into force. For industry, a transitional period must be negotiated, so that it can prepare to implement the new rules. Diisocyanates are expected to remain on the market.

Processors of diisocyanates must ensure that employees who handle these substances have undergone training. The training in-tensity depends on the type of activity and the associated potential for exposure of a worker. The main activities in the process-ing of diisocyanates will be listed in an appendix of the dossier. For activities that do not lead to relevant exposures, exceptions may be made. The established criteria are listed in the Annex “exemptions” of the dossier in detail.

Manufacturers and users of diisocyanates have already developed in recent years on a voluntary basis training material to train employees according to their activity profile and the associated potential for exposure. Based on these documents, the indus-try will now create official material in the major European languages and provide for training purposes. Diisocyanates are used for the production of polyurethanes. They are used in a variety of applications, in particular for the production of soft and hard polyurethane foams, in adhesives and sealants, in binders, coatings and paints and also for the preparation of polyurethane elastomers.

Diisocyanates are converted into a chemical reaction completely polyurethanes and are no longer present in the cured product.

ISOPA, ALIPA and trade associations representing the industrial and commercial users of diisocyanates at European and nation-al level, have for decades and will continue to ensure safe use of diisocyanates and set the safety at work in the center of their product stewardship programs.

For many years, the industry has product-related measures in place to ensure a safe use of diisocyanates. The industry has ac-tively cooperated with the BAuA and provided relevant information on these substance.

The industry sees the approach of BAuA as a logical development of their own activities to the workplace continue to ensure the safety of workers.

SESSION PARALLELEErik est actif dans différents groupes de l’ISOPA (Association des producteurs européens de diisocyanate et de polyo)l. ISOPA adresse les problèmes de santé et de sécurité liés au PU en Europe, développe et dissémine des informations concernant la bonne manipulation de TDI et de MDI.Erik est extrèmement impliqué dans l’établissement des risques d’exposition dans le cadre réglementaire du REACH et dans le développement de programmes de gestion de produits et il est le président du consortium MDI-MDA du groupe de coordination technique.Il est aussi le représentant belge dans des comités ISO sur les mesures de l’atmosphère et des vapeurs organiques sur des lieux de travail (ISO TC 146/SC2/WG4) et sur les mesures de l’atmosphère et des expositions dermiques sur des lieux de travail (ISO TC 146/SC2/WG8).

Les substances basées sur le MDI sont sujettes à évaluation sous ECHA, plan d’action continu communautaire (CoRAP). Une déci-sion finale sur 4.4’MDI a été obtenue, une décision temporaire su les isomers mixtes (2.4’ & 4.4’MDI) et deux prépolymers MDI sont sur la liste d’évaluation du CoRAP 2018. Une mise à jour sera donnée sur le statut de ces décisions et sur ce que l’industrie fait pour assurer un impact minimum sur les utilisateurs de MDI.Comme les législateurs européens émettent des doutes quant à l’impact des isocyanates sur la santé humaine et sur la façon de les utiliser, nous verrons en deuxième partie comment utiliser les MDI en toute sécurité lorsque l’on pulvérise.Tous les produits chimiques ont un certain degré de danger qui va de 0 à très haut. Travailler avec des produits chimiques demande une bonne compréhension de ces dangers, des effets qu’ils peuvent avoir si ils ne sont pas utilisés convenablement, comment réa-gir en cas d’exposition et plus important encore, comment prévenir les incidents. Cette présentation décrira les dangers types que l’on rencontre en pulvérisant et quelles bonnes pratiques peuvent être appliquées dans les domaines techniques, organisationnels, de santé individuelle et les précautions de sécurité qu’il faut prendre.

Nouvelles générations de polyurée pour application sur toitureMercredi 9 Novembre, 14:00 - 14:30Hugo Herault, Krypton Chemical

Hugo Herault a travaillé pour Arco Chemical, qui est devenu Lyondell. Il était responsible de plusieurspro-jets en Corporate Planning & Analysis and Sales & Marketing.Depuis 1999 il est le General Manager de Krypton Chemical, specialize en polyurethane et polyurée.

De nombreux systèmes combinant la mousse de polyurethane et les élastomères de polyurée existent sur le marché depuis longtemps. Ces combinaisons apportent d’importants avantages à la rénovation de toiture comme Krypton l’a souligné dans sa présentation à conférence annuelle de PDA Europe en 2015 à Berlin. Mais ils posent également de nombreux défis en raison des multiples couches de produits, de la réaction aux substrats humides ou un peu mouillé, de la rosée ou de la condensation pendant la nuit, etc.

Une nouvelle génération de polyurée apparait sur le marché. Elle résout certains de ces problèmes pour certains types de toitures qui consistent en des membranes de polyurée expansible pouvant vaincre d’importantes différences de hauteurs et de fissures dans les toits. Ceci, grâce à leur propriété gonflante, tout en offrant une élongation importante et suffisamment de résistance à la crevaison, et donc en conformité avec les exigences de ETAG 005. Les polyurées expansibles augmentent l’étendue du marché des toitures et permet à cette technologie d’être utilisée dans des applications où des systèmes précédents sont devenus inabordables, en raison de leur coût et de leur complexité. Cependant, elles présentent également de nombreuses limites qu’il faut connaître avant de se lancer dans un projet avec elles.

Patrick Grandchamp a plus de 25 ans d’expérience au sein de la société Blastrac et a une expérience cer-taine des différentes techniques de retrait de polyurées & de préparation des supports acier et béton.

Les zones ATEX sont une formidable opportunité pour développer l’industrie des polyurées. Comme in-diqué dans le Code des Bonnes Pratiques, il est d’une importance fondamentale d’utiliser la technique de préparation appropriée pour obtenir un résultat final optimal. Blastrac est concepteur fabricant de machines pour la préparation de surface et nous aimerions définir les différents types de zones ATEX. Par la suite, nous vous présenterons les techniques de préparation de surface utilisées dans ces zones. Nous partagerons également avec vous notre retour d’expérience sur des FPSO en Angola et Nigeria.

Comme déjà mentionné, distribuer des échantillons tout lisses peut engendrer des discussions si le même fini n’est pas rendu sur le chantier.

C’est pourquoi, le nouveau centre technique de formation se focalise sur les techniques générales de pulvérisation :1. Pulvériser avec un excédent2. Pulvériser sans excédant3. Pulvériser le polyurée (lentement) sur le site4. Utiliser des systèmes différents

A ce sujet, nous abordons différents facteurs, comme par exemple :1. Préparer l’échafaudage2. Préparer le masquage3. Comment superposer et faire les joints ?4. Comment appliquer l’excédent parfait ?Ces conseils seront donnés afin d’illustrer les défis et les techniques qui permettent d’obtenir le meilleur aspect possible pour vos applications. Il est cependant très important de toujours garder en tête que les meilleures techniques s’acquièrent par l’expérience.

GUIDELINES FOR PDA EUROPE MEMBERS AND CONFERENCE PARTICIPANTS ON THE APPLICATION OF ANTI-TRUST / COMPETITION RULES TO TRADE ASSOCIATION

GUIDELINES FOR PDA EUROPE MEMBERS AND CONFERENCE PARTICIPANTS ON THE APPLICATION OF ANTI-TRUST / COMPETITION RULES TO TRADE ASSOCIATION

1. Activities of trade associations must comply with the relevant competition/antitrust rules. The same basic principles that govern anti-competitive arrangements also apply when trade associations are used to co-or-dinate commercial activities. 2. Violations of competition laws carry serious consequences. For example, the starting level for a cartel fine in the European Union (EU) is €20 million per company. This figure can be adjusted depending on the circumstances (up to a maximum of 10% of the annual turnover of the entire group to which that company belongs). Under EU law, it is also expressly provided that trade associations themselves can be made subject to a fine up to 10% of their turnover. 3. Competition/antitrust authorities in the U.S., the EU and elsewhere are focusing increasingly on the activ-ities of trade associations. The suspicion is that such associations are a cover for cartel-like behaviour (e.g., price-fixing, collective discrimination, etc.). 4. International cooperation among antitrust enforcement authorities is also evident. It is no longer un-common for governments – particularly the U.S., the EU, Canada and Japan – to coordinate simultaneous searches, service of subpoenas, and ‘drop-in’ interviews (‘dawn raids’) to avoid premature disclosure of an investigation and the possible destruction of evidence. 5. As with U.S. antitrust law, it is not necessary for arrangements violating EU competition rules to occur in the territory of the EU. 6. Equally important, competition concerns will also arise where there is no actual effect on competition in the market concerned. The authorities will intervene where they perceive there to be a potential effect, even where that effect is not intended. 7. In general, it should be borne in mind that competition/antitrust rules prohibit arrangements between competitors, which are intended (or have the effect) to achieve aims such as the following: * price-fixing: almost any activity, which would allow its members to co-ordinate their pricing policies; * market-sharing or customer allocation: activities aimed at dividing the given market concerned into distinct territorial markets or allocating customer groups; * collective boycotts: a requirement to deal only with other members or to boycott other firms; * information-exchange arrangements: in general, all exchanges of business information (such as pricing pol-icies, costs or sales figures) between competitors, which would allow them to co-ordinate their commercial strategies. 8. In addition, certain types of activity particular to trade associations are subject of specific consideration including: * the setting of membership criteria of a trade association,* research and development carried out or co-ordinated by a trade association,* joint publicity and promotion of the generic products by a trade association,* product standardisation, certification and quality measures administered through trade associations. 9. This brief note and the “Dos” and “Don’ts” are intended to give general guidance only with regard to com-petition/antitrust laws. Before taking action, particularly regarding any assessment of risk, companies are advised to request specific advice from the relevant legal counsel.
