On behalf of Ms Helena Braun, Member from the Cabinet of the First Vice-President of the European Commission, Mr Frans
Timmermans:
 
Dear 
 
Once again, thank you for your mail and kind invitation sent on behalf of ECOS, a member of the Rethink Plastic Alliance to
the First Vice-President of the EC, Mr Frans Timmermans to deliver the keynote speech at the ECOS conference which will
take place on 13 June 2019 in Brussels.
 
We carefully checked and explored all possible options but I am afraid that Mr Timmermans regrettably, is unable to give a
positive response to your invitation due to already taken institutional commitments on that day in question and he conveys
his best wishes for a successful event.
 
Mr Timmermans passes his regrets for not being able to attend and believes that there will be future opportunities for him
to participate.
 
Thank you in advance for your understanding and wishing you all the best.
 
With best regards,
 
 
Cabinet of First Vice-President Frans Timmermans

Dea
,
 
Thank you for the request for further information.
 
This conference will explore how to rethink the way we design plastics for them to fully integrate circular economy
principles. Plastics should be designed for a long useful life, at the end of which they should be easy to
disassemble, fit for re-use, or easily recyclable. We believe that ecodesign principles should be integrated into key
policy tools. During the event, ECOS will present its new report, drafted by VITO/Ökopol, which will assess key


policy options available to ensure products containing plastics are designed for circularity, targeting key sectors
such as packaging, electronics, automotive and construction. The launch of the report would then be followed by
two panel debates.
 
To open the conference we would like FVP Timmermans to deliver the (only) keynote speech (time foreseen 09:15-
09:40), with a focus on the work carried out so far by the EC as part of its Plastics Strategy, and future policy
options. Both were outlined recently by the EC on 4 March with the launch of the report on the implementation of
the Circular Economy Action Plan, and the SWD “Sustainable Products in a Circular Economy - Towards an EU
Product Policy Framework contributing to the Circular Economy”.
 
The draft programme of the event is attached, including now the venue confirmed (BIP, rue Royale 2-4).
 
The expected audience would be key Brussels influencers, and based on ECOS’ significant positive engagement
with industry, we would expect to attract key industry representative and environmental NGOs.
 
Please do let me know if you would need any further information to help with your decision-making process, and
we can of course be flexible with the agenda if needed.
 
Best regards,
