VPAs, legality & TTAP Supporting legislative framework to suppliers VPA positive driver for change in conjunction with changing EU market requirements Effective implementation VPAs help implementation of national laws and regulations Products covered by VPAs Vary by country to country – confusion for buyers If product not covered, how meet eg, UK govt PPP? Linkages with market legality verification standards – OLB, TLVT, VLO TTAP legality verification in Cameroon collates all Market credibility Timeframe, short term market requirements

TTAP and market drivers Assumption of TTAP “European TTF members have sufficient market leverage to engage their suppliers in legality compliance”. Single clear market message from EU –Can be progressively tougher but needs to be consistent –Harmonised public and private sector procurement policies Transition companies –Recognition of those companies working towards legality and sustainability Legality licence and/or certification –Costs, administrative resources, time involved in being certified twice? –Market incentives – price premium, market access Clarity for traders/buyers to know what they require for end users

Issues, questions for debate Need for clarity Consistent single message to buyers and suppliers Don’t shift the goal posts Product coverage VPA licence meet EU market requirements – eg UK PPP? Time required, how meet market requirements in the short term by April 2009?
