ANNEX 2
LIST OF ADDRESSES

Contents - Previous - Next

Most countries have directories of their manufacturers, exporters and importers which can be consulted in most embassies and consulates. They are the best source of information, particularly for neighbouring countries or those with which your country has special trade relationships or with which trade is easier or transport costs are lower. Also, many international suppliers or manufacturers have branch offices which are closer than their headquarters. Purchases from these offices may be easier, cheaper and/or quicker.

The following list of addresses does not represent any endorsement of the products of the listed companies or organizations nor any recommendation, nor can any responsibility be taken for changes in addresses, phone or fax numbers etc. The list is also not complete and only represents a very small selection of suppliers, manufacturers, organizations etc. active in these respective fields. Selection of those listed represents no judgement or comparison to other non-listed manufacturers or suppliers.
