/EIN Presswire/ PRESS RELEASE 15/3/2010

Subject: Call for resignation of the Greek Competition Commission

Denouncement to the E.U.Antitrust authorities.In a statement published on Friday in Athens,STOPCARTEL Antitrust N.G.O. has made a call for immediate resignation of the president and the members of the Greek Competition Commission.They officially overthrew the rule of law.

The statement came soon after their decision to reject an application for postponement of the judgement of a case due to heavy injury of the lawyer of the plaintiff company, as the legislation provides.This is the last of a series of illegal practices of the present president and members of the commission over the last several months..

IRON TENCO S.A. the company who submitted since 2006 the two Antitrust complaints that uncovered the hard core Greek steel cartel,proceeded to the Greek Competition Commission since 10 months ago after an order of the Minister of the Economy and Development, with an application to revoke the decision of the scandalous acquittal of certain members of the said steel cartel.

Following continuous unacceptable and illegal practices in handling Antitrust complaints concerning several sectors of the Greek economy,exersising internal terrorism and persecutions against members of the staff of the commission reacting to the above illegal practices,the president and the group which has been appointed by the previous government to exercise control of the Greek Competition Commission on behalf of the large economic tycoons of the country, passed last week the red line, denying to the legal representitive of the above plaintiff company the basic constitutonal human right of legal representation and assistance! .

The said,president and members of the commission rejected last Thursday an application for postponement of the judgement of the above steel cartel case, made by the plaintiff company, due to heavy injury of their lawyer in a road accident, as the legislation provides and began the judgement procedure in the absence of the plaintiff and their lawyer !

With the above move,the Greek Competition Commission overthrew officially the rule of law.

The plaintif company is preparing an official denouncement to the European Competition Commissioner and the European Parliament, to the Transparency committee of the Greek Parliament and to the Greek Minister of Economy and Development,calling them to take action and investigate this case that shows strong indications that represent another serious corruption practice in the public sector of the country.

STOPCARTEL N.G.O has reported officially last year the illegal practices of the Greek Competition Commission to the European Competition Commissioner and the European Parliament, obtaining a decision of the Petitions Commission of the European Parliament that they will keep the above case open for further investigation.The denouncement to the previous Commissioner Mrs Krooes is still in arears.

STOPCARTEL is a registered non-profit Organization in Greece and U.K.

REEG Lawyers: Another Frivolous Atrazine Class Action Lawsuit Only Harms U.S. Farmers

In these tough economic times, one may wonder why anyone - other than class action lawyers - would seek to destroy what EPA estimates is a $2 billion annual economic benefit to the nation

After plaintiffs’ attorneys filed a federal lawsuit Monday in the Southern District of Illinois, Kurtis B. Reeg, attorney for defendant Syngenta Crop Protection, Inc., said another frivolous atrazine lawsuit only harms U.S. farmers.

“In these tough economic times, one may wonder why anyone - other than class action lawyers - would seek to destroy what EPA estimates is a $2 billion annual economic benefit to the nation, and all of the jobs that go with it,” Reeg said. “This lawsuit has no merit because we know from EPA-mandated testing that no water systems since 2005 have exceeded the annual average guidance for atrazine. We intend to defend ourselves vigorously.”

Atrazine is a widely-used herbicide in the U.S. and 60 countries around the world to help grow safe, affordable and abundant crops, including corn, sorghum, and sugar cane. EPA re-registered atrazine in 2006, stating it would cause no harm to the general population.

“This suit is no surprise, as the same plaintiffs’ attorneys who have been trying a wasteful case in Madison County, Ill., have been shopping this around for years,” said Reeg. “Just last month, plaintiffs in Illinois voluntarily dismissed numerous damage and liability claims they had made in their case. With that disarray, it appears attorneys are scrambling to another venue in which to waste scarce taxpayer resources with junk science and false allegations for personal gain at the expense of U.S. agriculture.

“Filing in federal court appears to be a mis-step, given the Iberville Parish, La., case which was dismissed by Chief Judge Butler in Mobile, Ala., in 1999. Judge Butler ruled that removing safe and approved levels of atrazine from drinking water was unnecessary and that shifting the costs of such unnecessary removal was wrong. This decision was also upheld on appeal, and we hope the court will rely on this past verdict to guide future decisions.

“Everyone should bear in mind that if a 150-pound adult drank literally thousands of gallons of water with atrazine at three parts-per-billion every day for 70 years, she still would not reach the exposure level at which no adverse impact has been detected in the laboratory.

“We know these communities are strapped for cash, and suing companies to upgrade their decades-old water systems may seem like an easy way to raise money, but it only harms local farmers who rely on these safely-regulated crop protection tools for their livelihood and to help cost-effectively feed a quickly growing consumer public.

“The many statements by farmers and their associations attest to their support for atrazine and its safety in use. They have for half a century. EPA’s atrazine regulation is a model of sound science carefully applied in its mission of protecting all Americans and our environment.

“As a hallmark of good stewardship, my client worked voluntarily with stakeholders for years and since then also with EPA to monitor the water systems where minute detections of atrazine may occasionally occur. Since 2005, no water system has had an annual average atrazine level in its drinking water greater than the EPA standard, which itself carries a 1000-fold safety factor.

“The mere filing of this new lawsuit suggests additional forum shopping by out-of-town attorneys who turn neighbor against neighbor to seek profit for themselves.”

/ EINpresswire.com / Erlanger, KY (March 16, 2010) - WILD Flavors, Inc. - one of the largest, privately-owned manufacturers of natural and health-enhancing ingredients, flavors, colors, and innovative product concepts has developed an acid-stable, natural blue color. WILD now has the ability to create attractive new color shades that are suitable for an array of food and beverage products.

Vice President of Food & Ingredient Technology, Tim Truby states, “Unlike previous attempts to achieve color shades such as green, purple, and black for applications by leveraging the stabilization of red cabbage or other anthocyanin based colors at neutral pH, WILD’s blue color is unique because it is truly acid-stable. Our color technology enables us to create an excellent spectrum of other natural colors, ranging from blue-to-green as well as blue-to-purple and black.”

Go Green
Think nature-think green. The U.S. food and beverage industry has long sought a stable green color. Chlorophyll products are approved in many countries, but aren’t allowed in the U.S. for most applications. Juices containing chlorophyll, such as spinach, can be used but often don’t provide the required shade and may have stability issues. Utilizing WILD’s acid stable blue color to achieve natural green shades is an easy solution. From lime to forest green, WILD now offers appealing hues of green suitable for confectionery, bakery, savory, dairy, and beverage applications.

Purple Without the Haze
Traditionally reserved for royalty, purple is represented in many fruits and vegetables. Purple colors solely derived from anthocyanins, i.e. grape concentrates, can only achieve reddish-purple and are quite susceptible to factors which cause fading (i.e. Vitamin C). Through the use of WILD’s acid stable blue, vibrant purple shades with varying levels of blue are now available for applications across the pH range.

Back in Black
Black is now an option for the most unique food and beverage products. Although a higher level of color is needed in applications to create a dark product, the new WILD blue with black shades, utilizing natural ingredients creates possibilities for numerous product formulations. Lighter shades create a gray impression. Utilizing a combination of WILD’s Colors from Nature(R) including naturally derived acid stable blue, WILD is able to offer black and gray shades for a variety of food and beverage applications.

Combing natural color technology and innovation with WILD’s proven product development expertise ensures customers the flexibility, ingenuity, and customized solutions that shorten development time with great looking and tasting concepts.
