Dear Sir
Firstly, many thanks for issuing our
warning to members about Austrian
company Construct Data Verlag,
operating as FAIRGuide.
The feedback we received from
members was encouraging.
We would, however, like to bring to
members’ attention a similar letter and
form being issued for the Euro Business
Guide.
It follows a similar format whereby
updating your listing is free of charge
but if you sign the document you are
liable for €965 per year for three years.
The Euro Business Guide, with a postal
address in Utrecht, the Netherlands,
does state you will be charged if you
sign the document, although the
signature space at the bottom of the
page does entice you to complete.
Businesses need to be on their guard
continuously to avoid incurring
unwelcome costs from unsolicited
mailings, whether received by post or
email. It is our duty to make sure that
our members are fully aware that they
might be targeted.

Dear Sir
I am writing to invite your readers to join Machine Tool Indonesia – Indonesia’s
largest machine tool, precision engineering and metalworking technology
exhibition.
The Department of Trade and Industry and the Engineering Industries Association
have again selected Machine Tool Indonesia to host an official, subsidised pavilion
for UK exporters.
The exhibition will be held at the Jakarta International Expo, Kemayoran, between
5th and 8th December 2007.
Part of the Manufacturing Indonesia series, this exhibition has ‘sold out’ every year
since 2002, and is acknowledged as one of the most important industrial events
in South East Asia.
The 2006 edition attracted 1,254 exhibiting companies from 35 countries and
provided 26,096 audited business visitors with direct access to all of Indonesia’s
key industrial sectors.
This year, a brand new hall at the Jakarta International Expo will allow Machine
Tool Indonesia 2007 to grow even further in both size and stature. The purpose-
built facilities have allowed organisers, PT Pamerindo Buana Abadi (a member of
Allworld Exhibitions), to lower the cost of exhibiting by more than 17%.
For details on the official UK pavilion and the subsidies available, please contact me.
