Werdenberg Intl. Corp., importer & distributor of food, wine & equipment products from up to nine different countries, is still the unparalleled giant, being the most quality-consistent and reliable in service & price-competitiveness.
Euro-Swiss Food Inc. is a food manufacturing company involved in the production of Swiss-German sausages, hams, bacons, cold cuts & other meat specialties.
When one has a continuous supply of imported fresh & processed food products, wines and F & B equipment, together with one's own sausage factory within the same premises, the setting up of retail outlets (Santis Delis) comes as a logical distribution channel for all these goods. Thus, within the period 1987 to 2000, a total of 8 Santis Delicatessen Shops have been put up to satisfy the demand in different strategic locations.
Another logical growth which sprang from the two major food suppliers (WIC and ESFI) was the opening of two restaurants, Bianca's Café & Vinotek (1990) and Carpaccio Ristorante Italiano (1996), right beside the Werdenberg Building . With the freshest ingredients coming from just next door, you can be assured that you will always be served good quality food.

An FT Adviser Story last year published the results of a Survey by Foresters Friendly Society and survey firm ICM Direct. "61% of people surveyed did not have a Will in place"
The benefits:
The major benefit of making a Will is that the deceased's estate is distributed in accordance with their wishes.
If no Will is in place, then the rules of intestacy apply. These rules may not always reflect the deceased's wishes and may leave the family and dependents in a difficult situation...

Sales copy written by George Zimmerman at gunbroker.com. The online auction starts 5/12/2016 at 11:00 AM EST
UPDATE: GunBroker.com has pulled the listing. Click here for their statement.
Prospective bidders, I am honored and humbled to announce the sale of an American Firearm Icon. The firearm for sale is the firearm that was used to defend my life and end the brutal attack from Trayvon Martin on 2/26/2012. The gun is a Kel-Tec PF-9 9mm. It has recently been returned to me by the Department of Justice. The pistol currently has the case number written on it in silver permanent marker. Many have expressed interest in owning and displaying the firearm including The Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C. This is a piece of American History. It has been featured in several publications and in current University text books. Offers to purchase the Firearm have been received . . .
however, the offers were to use the gun in a fashion I did not feel comfortable with. The firearm is fully functional as the attempts by the Department of Justice on behalf of B. Hussein Obama to render the firearm inoperable were thwarted by my phenomenal Defense Attorney. I recognize the purchaser's ownership and right to do with the firearm as they wish. The purchaser is guaranteed validity and authenticity of the firearm.
On this day, 5/11/2016 exactly one year after the shooting attempt to end my life by BLM sympathizer Matthew Apperson I am proud to announce that a portion of the proceeds will be used to: fight BLM violence against Law Enforcement officers, ensure the demise of Angela Correy's persecution career and Hillary Clinton's anti-firearm rhetoric. Now is your opportunity to own a piece of American History. Good Luck. Your friend, George M. Zimmerman ~Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum~

Sure, he needs the money, I hope he gets a good price for it.
Rock on
If I had a PF-9 it would look just like this one!
You mean…black?
Michael in GA it is second time I splashed coffee all over my laptop because of your comment. Not cool man, not cool…
If you like your PF-9, you can keep your PF-9.
Most. Expensive. Kel-Tec. Ever.
And yeah, it smells of desperation – the equivalent of giving hand jobs in bathroom stalls. Guy is probably completely unemployable due to the media, SJW circus that probably follows him like Pigpen's dust cloud.
It will, however, be spun as "proof" of blood lust in the 2A community. And the spin might stick.
Yea but the best thing that could happen to this would be for Big Media to take the story up, that would drive the price up like crazy. They know that too, so watch as this is buried, no one will even mention it.
Funny enough I heard about this on my way to work on the BBC.
Yea well the Beeb would understand American gun culture the least wouldn't they.
Maybe some rich bloke will pick the thing up…
Yeah and CNN and others have already run stories about this.
I wonder if the story will show up on "Daily Mail UK", they typically seem to have the
more information than the news outlets here
You do work on BBC's? How about little Black ones? Or do you just like the big ones?
They are certainly running with it (for all the wrong reasons of course) but that is to be expected. The left cannot be bothered by facts.
The glorification of Thuglife and beatification of a goon by a sitting US president are the disgraces of the event.
Looks like his son (if Obumer had a pair).
Wouldn't surprise me. His write up doesn't sound like someone who wishes none of this – the confrontation, the fight, the shooting, the trial, the aftermath, the various legal encounters since – had happened, but rather someone who glorifies. He sounds like he would love to have it all happen again. He sounds like someone full of bloodlust.
Bloodlust? Really? Reads to me like someone whose writing skill could use a little work, and that's all.
So why do you think the guy is full of bloodlust, that's a bit of an inflammatory accusation there Katy. Dude has had lots of accusations thrown at him rather unfairly that all turned out to be untrue, you think there hasn't been enough of that huh?
I suspect that that was provided by your imagination. I don't see it there. The ad was better written than I would have expected from him even.
Yeah. I saw 50 comments and just figured this must be a horrible thing to do. Then I read the sales pitch and I can't say I disagree with GZ's position. After all, it was the Obama administration that blew this story up, not Zimmerman.
No, just no.
Gee Katy. where'd you go? You think it's ok to just attack a guy like this without any basis in fact and then slink off and don't stand behind your words with any sort of justification or anything huh?
Makes your little name calling look pretty cowardly.
To answer the first, he seems intent on blaming Obama, Correy, Clinton, and anybody else for his troubles. Does he come out and say that he wants to go hunting for black folk? No, and I don't think he is full of bloodlust.
But, he _sounds_like somebody who wouldn't know how to walk away from the hint of confrontation or descalate and argument. And, for much of the public, especially those opposed to him, it's not hard to pull off with his tenor. The silliest, and still most frustrating, of his comments is "B. Hussein Obama". Yes, that's his name. But, when it's clear that you are attempting to villify someone because of their name – a given name that they didn't choose – it suggests a certain immaturity. It's no better than the Drumpf, Dubya, and Hitlery that we see on a daily basis – communicating like children through perceived insults instead of talking like grownups.
Regarding your second question:
1) digging through posts and having to find comments and responses under the current comment system is a pain. It is hardly worth the effort unless there was a specific bit of information you were hoping to get.
2) I'm gainfully employed and have work to do. I can't spend all day on TTAG, reloading in hopes of comments.
All of this is for naught anyway. My understanding is that the listing has been pulled. By Zimmerman or gunbroker, I don't know.
Well I give you credit for responding, yes we all have jobs.
You think he blames Obama? He should as it's justified. Obama, more accurately both state and federal AG resources specifically targeted the GZ case for national attention in order whip up the news media and to try and influence the public to be more accepting of all manner of gun control.
So yes, Obama is directly responsible for much of this, and the attack is against not just GZ but all of the US and our second amendment rights. This is pretty low of them frankly, it's dirty pool and politics and they were attacking an individual who was totally unprepared and incapable of properly defending himself and his rights. Luckily for him he came out of this not spending the rest of his life locked away, no thanks to B. Hussein Obama.
So what's your problem with GZ using Obamas real name?
And by the way, sure it's his name and he didn't choose it. Indeed, however he does choose now to obscure it, and the media goes along with it specifically to hide the name and its connotations, now that's pretty low, don't you think? GZ is free to use it, it's his own damn business what he writes, and mine too.
Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama.
Heh heh.
" Guy is probably completely unemployable due to the media, SJW circus that probably follows him like Pigpen's dust cloud."
Umm… how about the guy is completely unemployable due to the fact that he's a douche bag.
Maybe he'll be tapped as Secretary of Defense by Trump.
Oh jeezlus, not again.
Zimmerman is the man. Or *A* man, anyway and that's rare enough in this day and age.
How much is the bid?!
Okay I got to call BS on some of this. "Offers have been received…however the offers to use the gun were in a fashion I did not feel comfortable with".
So instead he decided it was a great idea to put it on gunbroker in which he has no idea who is buying it or what they are going to use it for. The same groups that made him the offer before could just as easily jump on gunbroker and buy it, or trayvon's family member could buy it with the sole purpose of revenge killing Zimmerman, I doubt that is something he would feel comfortable with either. Let's call this what it is a desperate attempt by a broke man to come up with a couple hundred more dollars, which probably won't even cover the amount that he is paying his "excellent defense attorney" to keep the gun from being destroyed.
To each their own but shines a poor light on gun owners.
I don't really think that, this guy has basically had his life ruined by the media, and the state in a terrible way. He doesn't have many choices here and no doubt needs the money.
No, not the greatest role model, maybe not the greatest message, but he's just selling something that does have an actual collectors value, give the dude a break. That's what I think anyway.
BS Nancy. Doesn't "shine a light" on anything except legitimate and properly used human right to self defense.
This is called "marketing", David.
So what else should he do, donate it to a Law Enforcement Museum? /s
Please send news tips to firstname.lastname@example.com.
(NB: Already have a blog scheduled on this topic. Thanks!)
Some "fat cat" will buy the gun for at least $10K.
No,.. some Bloomberg type will buy it and use it for some Anti propaganda.
Why will this guy not stay out of the news?
Kinda cute the way the cops locked the key ring for the gun lock… in the lock.
Maybe that's the only way they can make sure they don't lose it.
Sorry. The above comment was misplaced.
As for George – He can't stay out of the news because his celebrity status is the only way he knows how to make a buck.
I mean, would YOU hire him? For ANY job?
But if he wants to put his trust in Jesus etc etc and stay in FL why don't all these heroic right wing second amendment supporters give him a job? Vets get preference at the post office. …
Also I heard that his lawsuit against MSDNC was ongoing. Hope that comes in soon for him.
@Alex LOL GZ take a innocent persons life who was walking home minding his own business. You're right he deserves to be a millionaire!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not exactly the best PR move.
He's been persecuted for years now. His head is bloodied, but unbowed. I hope he collects a bundle from the sale. He's a martyr in the modern civil rights movement.
Used, skint up, marked up Keltec. I'd max bid $135, but this won't be on my watch list.
If I were him I would probably just be trying to lay low, especially considering his run ins with the law after it was all said and done. I mean he can do what he wants with the gun, it's none of my business, but I personally wouldn't be auctioning it of.
5 G's! Makes you wonder what Booth's derringer is worth.
Not sure how this is breaking news but whatever floats your boat.
Now if this was the gun Hitler used to kill himself I could see the excitement.
Z should lay low. Any time he comes up in the media, it's negative. This won't help him, nor does it help us. Gunbroker should have refused to list the item.
I get that Z probably needs the money, but there's other ways of doing it, even in his situation. Form an LLC (to keep your name out of it) and use Upwork or something to get gigs, I don't know…
It looks like Gunbroker was informed about it and shut down the auction, probably for the best, nothing of value is lost by pulling this.
It didnt help that his description read like a computer genereted old man rant, trying to hit Bingo for as many buzzwords as possible.
This guy gives a bad name to gun owners. He is an idiot.
Exactly wrong: collectivist thinking, just the like SJW's that are sooooo cringeworthy.
No one "represents" me except me. GZ does not give me a bad name nor your.
Own your own life, and stop thinking in terms of "groups." Group identity only provides "them" with a hook to control.
You must be a special kind of stupid if you don't think that the preservation of our rights absolutely depends on popular perception of guns and their owners.
You are living in a bubble, a self made one.
Bloomie's new toy to demonize us.
He should FLAME DELETED.
Ah, a deranged SJW. FLAME DELETED
Oh lovely look what we have here, a peaceful progressive liberal who stands for liberty, peace and progress. And if you don't like that then you need to he needs to shoot himself, that's real clever.
Peace! Do what we say for peace, if you don't we will kill you! That's peace and love man!
Cognitive dissonance, do you understand what those words mean or are there too many letters there?
Oh and I have a bet, this maroon doesn't have the stones or even the intellect to respond to this question, he won't be back.
You are very wrong and dumb at the same time. My belief and practice of the 2nd amendment and self defense are not conflicting. If you believe that any man that hunts down and kills a kid is justified then all of you can go to hell. Now he potentially capitalizes from it by selling the sword that he used to slay the dragon. You want to sensationalize every action of this piece of crap like he's a legend. You can go straight to hell.
What a tool. This guy is a walking embarrassment for gun owners. And he had to throw some "B. Hussein Obama" shade in his listing. Very edgy, like a 14 year old who just learned about politics.
B. Hussein Obama attacked Zimmerman, an innocent crime victim, very publicly.
And now some smarmy twit tries to spin it like Obama is a victim of Zimmerman?
Go crawl back under your rock.
Throw some shade??? Are you 12????
His age or his IQ?
Wow. His auction has been viewed over 136 thousand times already.
135,000 views from journalists reporting on yet another George Zimmerman non-story…
My BS sense is tingling. I'm thinking this might be a fake listing that someone might have created to try to show that gun owners are blood thirsty racist killers. I'd be very skeptical about this. Something just doesn't feel right about it.
Given Zimmerman's almost superhuman ability to make poor decisions, this feels pretty authentic to me.
Apparently he talked to local news stations so I guess my initial reaction was wrong. I really wish I wasn't…
I don't understand why all you people want to attack GZ for this, why do you care and think it's any of your business?
Remember, it is the media and the state that made this into a national obsession, not GZ. And they did so, using GZ as the vehicle with which to further push more gun regulation against all of us, and for that matter they mostly failed. They were using GZ as a tool to attack you.
This should have been a local story at best, and he should have simply had this thing investigated and followed up on fairly and impassionately by the justice system, not making him into a national figure, personally attacking him with the power of the state and federal government and basically ruining any chance this guy had for leading a normal life.
Did he make the best decisions, of course not. Was he stupid, yea, pretty much. But he was also attacked, his life was threatened and he acted. I for one am happy that it was him that survived this and not the other way around. Should he lay low and stay away from trouble and all of that, yea, sure. But if he wants to sell this private property which is his and does have a value to someone, why do you care? Why can't you leave the guy to his own business, as so many seem to want to advise GZ to do for the rest of us?
This is private property rights and freedom, his gun, his choice to sell it. How can this bother anyone?
It's not that he was selling the gun. I had no problem with that. It's that he purposely went to media outlets to stir up attention for himself. Numerous posts say that no one is willing to hire him and he's hurting for money. Perhaps drawing more attention to himself isn't the best coarse of action. His life. His choices. But I firmly recommend he put a little more thought into those choices.
It's call Capitalism, b*tches!
Blood and sex bring the $$$, period.
Don't hate the player, hate the game.
Capitalism doesn't doesn't set a value violence and sex, people do. Same with greed, it is a human trait not a component of capitalism.
Selling a product which you own for a higher than standard value because it has a history attached to it is not Capitalism…
What do you call it then?
How do we know that this is real? The user name at gunbroker uses handle "GZ1776."
I didn't think Zimmerman was a 1776, Gadsden kind of guy.
Also "GZ1776" is a new user with no feedback.
How do we know that the user is actually the real George Zimmerman and this is the actual firearm used during that event???
Ok – maybe it is the real deal:
Cool. I hope the auction does well.
As far as I'm concerned, whatever, it's a Kel Tec. But it obviously worked fine that evening.
Celebrity culture is as celebrity culture does.
Why would the Smithsonian want the gun? Does it actually have some sort of famous/infamous handguns display?
Yeah, that strikes me as pure BS. The Smithsonian might be interested in it if it had some historical value, but it doesn't. That shooting wasn't some watershed case that changed American jurisprudence forever, it was just a media shitstorm that we'd all have forgotten about by now if GZ didn't keep douching his way into trouble every six months.
I believe that the jury reached the correct decision in the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin case.
I also believe that George Zimmerman is a monumental tool, and due to his history of domestic violence and assaulting police officers, should never be allowed to possess a firearm.
This auction is in extremely poor taste, and is further testament to GZ's lack of maturity and judgement.
It's funny how George Zimmerman is a hero, but everyone "knows" OJ did it.
Indeed. Only someone capable of evaluating evidence could possibly come to either conclusion. Err, yeah.
On a more serious note, I don't know anyone who thinks GZ is a hero. He was a regular guy stuck in a horrible situation, and did what he had to do to save his life. Doesn't make him either a villain or a hero.
I guess you trust any policeman who is willing to admit that he hates "niggers," particularly when a black man is on trial. Good to know, Old Ben, whom I infer to mean old Ben Franklin, "nigger"-owner.
On a more serious note, I don't know anyone who doesn't think Ben Franklin is a hero. He was a regular slave-owner stuck in a slave-owning situation, did what he had to do to remain in business. Makes him both a villain and a hero.
On a more serious note, I don't know anyone who thinks OJ is a hero. He was a father stuck in a horrible situation, and did what he had to do to save his son's life. Doesn't make him either a villain or a hero.
How is this "breaking" news? How is this "news", at all? Guy lawfully uses deadly force in self-defense, and sells the gun used lawfully in self-defense.
It all seems in bad taste; the bravado.
It would be entirely different if the dialogue said somethin like, because of how I've been demonized by the press and the president, I can no longer earn a living through traditional means. So I am auctioning off this pistol.
In other words throw it back in their face. You know damn well that if the roles had been reversed and he had killed Zimmerman (the "white" hispanic) , little Trayvon would have a reality show by now. (Keeping up wit' da Martins??)
He'd have to bang a c list rapper first.
This is in very poor taste.
But are you surprised? The man did murder someone who was walking home minding their own business…
There is no evidence to suggest that was the case. Everything with this case points towards GZ following TM (which is legal), then TM attacking GZ (illegal), then GZ defending himself (legal).
However, that doesn't excuse GZ seemingly going off the deep end after the whole thing, not does it make this auction anything other than tasteless.
The man did murder someone who was walking home minding their own business…
Wait: I thought we were talking about the George Zimmerman who defended himself after being assaulted by Trayvon Martin. Is there some other "George Zimmerman" that you're talking about?
I had a PF 9-I don't want another one. Unlike some of you mopes I wish the white hispanic well. I dunno' what you'd do if a young high homie jumped you(in the dark) and bashed your head against the pavement. And they still bring this up as a "stand your ground" event…
The party's know who they are that made this a racial incident. Since when did a Puerto Rican shooting a Black American make news?
His behavior keeps him in the news. He's Teflon that he can follow someone to their work and brandish a firearm. Touching a gun during a police stop is not recommended anywhere. His violent outbursts with girlfriends that involved unsafe gun handling point to..? Guarding the gunstore/motorcycle shop without the owner's permission or knowledge….is he a cop wanta be?
Not a good representative for gun ownership.
A defensive gun use doesn't make one a hero.
The link doesn't go anywhere. Has the listening been taken down?
Item link is dead. Auction pulled?
What I want to know is how and when did he get it back from the feds. Remember when they took the gun as "evidence" for a possible civil case against him?
You need to upgrade your trolling game, son. Every one of your posts is about shooting somebody, it's just too over-the-top, a caricature of what a nineteen-year-old SJW thinks gun owners sound like. Tone it down a bit, and you might actually fool some people.
The poor guy can't even fool some of the people some of the time.
Listing is GONE…had it saved as a watched item. It was scheduled to go live at 1100. Now it is GONE. Sounds like a publicity stunt if I ever heard of one.
Arrogant prick. For once i'm actually giving Casey Anthony a sliver of credit.
Only time I've heard of a PF-9 actually working… Atleast one worked when it mattered.
Once again George Zimmerman proves what we probably knew from the beginning… he just loves putting himself in stupid situations. It's how he got arrested the first time, it's how he ended up in an altercation that resulted in a deadly use of force, it's how he's gotten in trouble about a half-dozen times since then.
I still wouldn't convict him for the shooting based on the evidence but I won't defend him either.
Auction got pulled apparently. That didn't take long.
I wonder why? (serious question not sarcasm ).
Shenanigans! Shenanigans!!
It's a free country.
What's funny is all the inevitable social justice warriors who will drive the price up by making this inanimate tool out to be evil incarnate.
The power of perception, persuasion, and ignorance at work.
Despite what any of us think about Zimmerman, this article is typical of the disgusting attitudes of the anti-gun crowd:
Yet gun owners are violent?
Whenever I run into one of those frothing-at-the-mouth SJW's on the street, I just tell them THEY and their ilk are one of the top reasons I carry concealed and own guns. Then I just walk away.
That usually causes them to throw a hissy fit of epic proportions in a public place, making the people around stare at them and see how truly pathetic SJW's are.
Always makes me smile. 🙂
GZ, along with this move, seems bound and determined to seal his public pariah status. I thought he had every reason to claim "stand your ground," but since then he's done everything possible to make it worse for himself. Certainly not the brightest bulb in the pack.
One thing Zimmerman certainly does not have and that is any form of higher intelligence. Stirring up more headlines should be the last thing that he would want. He must be in some very tough financial troubles to do this. And the shame of it is there are a lot of Right Wing Fanatics that will probably bid big bucks on this gun. If Zimmerman had done as he was told by the Police dispatcher he never would have had to kill Martin but being fair about the incident when you study what happened Martin did attack Zimmerman from behind and did try to smash his skull to a pulp on the cement pavement. At that point Zimmerman did indeed have the right to shoot him. Its called the right to self defense and even a low life like Zimmerman has this Constitutional right.
Later in time evidence showed Martin had indeed robbed homes and sold the merchandise he stole. So we had two men neither of which were shining examples of Citizens get into a deadly altercation and then it evolved into a black v/s white and a Liberal v/s Conservative fight in the courts. When all this was going on there were several hundred shootouts in Chicago most of which never even made the news because it was blacks gunning down blacks. The Conservative Whites could not care less about such black deaths and the Liberal Whites would rather pretend it never happened and if it did should not be compared to the Zimmerman case. Neither side is right on that one.

Gerald Gonzales Allegedly Brought a Sidekick to His Heroin Deals -- a 3-Year-Old Kid
Police say 32-year-old Mesa resident Gerald Gonzales was selling heroin to an undercover cop.
Gonzales wasn't alone, though, as police say Gonzales had a sidekick with him on a couple occasions -- a 3-year-old kid.
According to court documents obtained by New Times, the officer first picked up a half-gram of heroin from Gonzales in late January, and a lab test confirmed the substance to be heroin.
About a week later, in early February, court documents say the undercover officer picked up another half-gram of heroin from Gonzales -- nothing exceptional noted.

The third time, the officer met Gonzales in a public parking lot for another half-gram sale, and the documents state Gonzales brought a woman and a small kid with him for the deal.
One more time, police arranged a buy from Gonzales -- this time at his Mesa home.
While Gonzales was in a room bagging up a gram of heroin for the cops, Gonzales had the 3-year-old kid with him, right there in the room, according to the court documents.
Police arrested Gonzales at his place on Tuesday after allegedly selling heroin to police on four occasions, and according to the docs, Gonzales said he became a heroin salesman to support his own heroin habit.
For that, Gonzales was booked into jail on four counts of narcotic drug sales, and two counts of misdemeanor child endangerment for allegedly towing a 3-year-old along to heroin sales.
Court documents say Gonzales has a few priors -- like burglary, possession of drug paraphernalia, transportation theft, narcotic drug possession, and driving on a suspended license.
Gonzales has also skipped out on court before -- thrice, according to the documents.

Breakdowns, Misappropriations, Possibilities: The Art of Gimhongsok
Iris Moon
The breakdown of grand narratives—personal, historical, and artistic—and their subsequent reconfiguration are present throughout "Antithesis of Boundary," Gim's latest exhibition at Tina Kim Gallery. Influenced by a post-colonial discourse that challenged master narratives produced by the West, Gim's counter-myths have evolved from fictionalized forms of history into a subtle interrogation of the artistic process itself. Gim not only exposes the complicated terrain of contemporary art, as artists navigate intellectual property laws, censorship and an uneasy division of creative labor in the production of their work. His latest exhibition furthermore questions a relational aesthetics founded upon a forced notion of community, communication and shared ideals.
The first thing encountered in "Antithesis of Boundary" is Donkey (2008), a figure in a grinning donkey suit reclining on a plush green sofa, with one hand propping up his oversized head. The figure is not meant to conjure perverse thoughts of a furry convention at a hotel in Florida. Instead, a text preciously painted in cursive handwriting explains that the motionless figure is James Kim, paid to pose in the donkey costume for six dollars an hour, despite his status as an illegal immigrant from South Korea. The lounging figure, at ease within his costume despite his powerless status, intrudes and encroaches upon our personal space of fantasy. The donkey sets up the first in a series of boundaries and antitheses arranged like an obstacle course throughout the exhibition space.
Gim explains, "There are always boundaries, and I am interested in the boundaries among people rather than in forms of communication."1 "Antithesis of Boundary" resulted from the interpersonal issues that continually arose when he came up with a new idea for a project. In his attempt to address the marginalization of social minorities such as transvestites, prostitutes and migrant workers, Gim constantly encountered ethically complex situations. What sorts of internal resistances and external social mores prevented him from undertaking risky projects? Was art allowed to go that far or does it too have distinct boundaries? In the case of Pickets (2004), the underwear of women in their twenties were collected and sold as part of a benefit for an underage victim of sexual assault. In 6-Way Talks (2005), Gim asked foreign workers living in South Korea to sing the national anthems of the countries then involved in the 6-party talks, negotiations aimed at dismantling a nuclear North Korea. Gim's employment of migrant workers could have potentially saddled the artist with legal problems. Instead, the piece served as one of the starting points for the fictional "performance series" involving foreign laborers performing in animal costumes.
Major historical events are also toyed with throughout Gim's oeuvre. Marat's Red (2004), an earlier installation piece shown at the Total Museum of Art in Seoul, creates a side story in the afterlife of the sans-culotte journalist and revolutionary fanatic, Jean-Paul Marat. Next to a glass box on a pedestal that has been painted red, a wall text indicates that contained in the box is the blood of Marat, salvaged by Georges Danton, another leading figure of the French revolution guillotined shortly after Marat's assassination. Alongside Gim's confabulation of Western historical events, particularly moments of revolution or crisis, are pieces that respond more immediately to the historical context of recent Korean art, in particular the aesthetic hegemony produced by the minjung misul movement.
Minjung misul, roughly translated as the people's art, emerged during the 1970s and 80s in tandem with the pro-democracy minjung movement, which brought about South Korea's first democratic elections in 1987. Minjung artists employed a realist aesthetic of ugliness in order to communicate the brutality, torture and corruption of the South Korean military regime to the public. Gulgaegurim, or banner art, and mural paintings championed a new national myth based upon the apotheosis of the people. Gim attended Seoul National University in the 1980s, when the university was a seat of student activism. Students such as Gim had no choice but to join in the protests organized by undongkwon, or militant activist groups.2 "As someone who attended college in the 1980s, I had to find my political position rather passively through protest strikes and demonstrations. In fact, the confrontational binary continues to the present, and it has the very convenient structure that if you are not on our side, you are an enemy."3
Minjung art lost much of its momentum with the arrival of democracy and the subsequent liberalization of the South Korean economy in the late 1990s. Yet the confrontational binary between left and right persists in South Korean society. Public Blank (2006-8) draws attention to the different kind of opposing political realities that are necessary for public monuments to be built. Public Blank consists of 16 framed drawings and texts featuring project proposals for various sorts of public monuments and spaces. Eight images are accompanied by texts explaining the purpose, criteria and requirements of each project.
The artist's projects are clearly meant to remain on the paper. In "The Tower of Ethics," Gim proposes a tower for social pariahs, misanthropes and drug addicts, where such people will be paid 30,000 won (roughly $26) to climb to the top of the tower and stand for one hour. The social uproar caused by the tower would, Gim argues, end up creating ethical problem-solvers and charity organizations to help the victims created by the public monument. "Triumph Plaza" can only be constructed "when a nation has succeeded in programming people to believe that personal satisfaction is just a natural outcome of the history of progress." The plaza consists of a vacant lot of 30,000 pyeong (10,675 square meters) where people will drag red or blue epoxy-based paint on their footprints into a star formation. The end result is that "our past will have been glorified and we will sing of the bright future and gain in self-confidence." Gim's proposals call to mind the Korean government's ludicrous attempt to bring culture to the public through futile projects such as a 1995 law requiring that large buildings spend at least one percent of the construction costs on a form of art, usually resulting in a giant steel sculpture or a nude woman.4 Yet rather than fulfilling the criteria of a public commission, each of Gim's proposals requires that social conditions be met before they can be built. In other words, the world has to change for the artwork to become a reality.
From an engagement with broader historical and social issues, Gim's latest work has turned toward the terrain of contemporary art. His artistic process actively engages with the critical debates on appropriation art once championed by Craig Owens and Benjamin Buchloh as a means of critiquing modernist notions of originality and the commodification of culture. But like his fabricated histories, Gim produces a set of mis-appropriations where at each step of the production process—from the conception of ideas to the execution of the work—Gim uncovers resistances to the possibility of the artist as original producer or point of origin. Donkey is already a derivative piece of Bremen Town Musicians (2006-7), an earlier work by Gim, which in turn is the bastard offspring of Santiago Sierra's controversial pieces on labor and exploitation and Maurizio Cattelan's sardonic Love Lasts Forever (1999). Despite the declaration of his first exhibition title, I'm gonna be number one, Gim's works thrive on an inferiority complex that insists on the artist being number two. Take for example READ—Francis Alys p38,39 (Re-enactments) (2008-9). A part of Gim's ongoing READ series, the piece features three framed images placed alongside each other on the wall. The piece includes pages 38 and 39 cut from Francis Alys' catalog. The image is a still from Alys' two-channel video piece, Re-enactment, a performance of the artist walking down the street in Mexico City while carrying a gun shown on one screen, with a reenactment of his uneasy stroll and subsequent arrest on a neighboring screen. Next to the catalog image is a framed painting by Kim Aram, who Gim asked to copy the video still. The final white canvas on the far left is a cast resin sculpture of the painting created by Kim. This process of extracting a minimalist tabula rasa from a video piece is baffling, ridiculous and fascinating, both heavy-handed in its clever transmutation of Kim's painting and unnerving in its refusal to engage with the content of Alys' "original" work.
There are no final lessons to be learned from Gim's exercise in mis-appropriation, the donkey performance or in his proposal for a dismal tower of ethics. But by refusing to pronounce a social message, Gim's sardonic works highlight the dilemma of the ethical judgment: it is dependent upon taking a distanced stance, a disinterested interest in the political and social issues that demand our attention. To preemptively adopt a particular position is to foreclose the possibility of others' points of view, to divide the world into two sides. That Gim still continues to make art despite a genuine skepticism in its ability to make a difference suggests that perhaps in art, boundaries can make things possible.

$ 189.00
These earrings are made from the metal hood of a Porsche 911 Carrera. We created 'faux' leopard skin by engraving into the car paint to simulate spotted markings. The original car paint (teal in color) is left as the 'positive' image while the 'negative' image is the silver under metal. We then added hammered gold brass rivets to further create the illusion of an exotic animal pelt. Finally, to top it all off, we set shiny hematite gemstones in sterling silver lacy bezels for added bling and swanky appeal.
Taking car metal and turning it into beautiful jewelry is no easy task. Our artists spend a lot of time ensuring that each CRASH item meets our high standards for quality and design.
One-of-a-kind, couture jewelry handmade in our Los Angeles body shop studio. Your order will arrive in custom CRASH packaging with a Certificate of Authenticity. 3″ length, hematite gemstone 8 x 6mm. Sterling silver components. Upcycled and eco-friendly!
I know this seems like a no-brainer but you would be surprised at how many times we've seen people try to put on cuffs in a variety of creative ways. Since we are visual learners here is a diagram that explains it quite well. NEVER squeeze the cuff so tightly that rivets may pop.
STEP 1: Close your fingers together and bring your thumb to your little finger (as pictured). Pretend that you were putting on a bangle.
STEP 2: Wrap a tape measure or our printable tool around your hand at the widest point. This is the circumference of your hand.
STEP 3: Compare your hand circumference to the chart below. Purchase a bangle with a circumference that is similar to your measurements. Never size down, e.g., if your hand circumference is 7 1/2" order a medium or 8".
7" Small
8" Medium
9" Large

Missing White House File Is Sought
By DAVID JOHNSTON,
Published: December 19, 1993
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18— Federal investigators are trying to determine whether a file relating to a failed Arkansas savings-and-loan owner and his investment firm was taken from the White House office of Vincent W. Foster Jr. after he committed suicide in July, law-enforcement officials said today.
The officials said investigators had been told that Mr. Foster, the deputy White House counsel who died of a single gunshot wound to the head on July 20, kept a file in his office on James McDougal, the savings and loan owner and a former business associate of President Clinton, and on the Whitewater Development Corporation, a real estate investment firm under scrutiny for possible financial fraud in a separate Justice Department inquiry in Arkansas.
But the law-enforcement officials said no such file was listed in the inventory of items in Mr. Foster's office that was conducted by Bernard W. Nussbaum, the White House counsel, in the presence of Federal agents on July 22.
The Justice Department has been investigating various aspects of the circumstances surrounding Mr. Foster's death, particularly assertions he had made in a note found after his death.
One law-enforcement official said today that it was possible that the file containing papers dealing with Mr. McDougal and Whitewater had been turned over to Mr. Foster's widow in a box of personal property given to James Hamilton, the family's lawyer. 'Properly Handled'
A senior White House official, who spoke only on the condition that he not be identified, would not comment today on the file's existence, but he did say: "We are not aware that any law-enforcement official is looking into the fact that a file relating to Whitewater or McDougal disappeared or in any way was improperly handled. All the files in Vince Foster's office were properly handled."
Although Presidential aides have insisted that Mr. Clinton was far removed from any activities that are under Federal scrutiny, the disappearance of a file that might shed light on matters under investigation in Arkansas has clearly raised the interest in the file within law-enforcement circles.
The law-enforcement officials did not say how investigators learned of the existence of the file, and the circumstances surrounding its disappearance are murky.
The officials also said that the inquiry was being hampered by a lack of cooperation from the White House. They said some Administration officials whom investigators sought to interview had engaged in time-consuming negotiations about being represented by lawyers. They also said that investigators strongly suspected that a few White House officials might not be volunteering all they know. An Innocent Explanation?
The investigators said there could be an innocent reason for the papers' disappearance, or that Mr. Foster may have removed the papers himself before his death. But they have not ruled out the possibility that the file was taken to keep it out of the hands of investigators. "Nobody knows the answer yet, but that's the direction it's headed in," one senior law-enforcement official said today.
The discussions about the file came as law-enforcement officials said that Mr. Foster had also kept a previously undisclosed diary about his activities. One official said that it contained intimate observations about the 1992 Presidential campaign and that entries had been made after Mr. Clinton took office in January.
The diary, first reported today by The Washington Post, was never made public by the White House. The Park Police, whose investigators examined it, never said publicly that it existed, although the diary is mentioned in a still undisclosed report by the Park Police on its investigation into Mr. Foster's death, law-enforcement officials said. The Park Police investigated Mr. Foster's death because the suicide took place on Federal park land in Virginia. Not Among the Inventory
The diary was among a stack of papers and other personal items removed from Mr. Foster's office by Mr. Nussbaum, the White House counsel, after he conducted the inventory in the presence of Justice Department officials, investigators from the Park Police and agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The items given to Mr. Hamilton were determined by White House aides to have been Mr. Foster's personal property.
A Park Police official said today that the diary was given to the agency's investigators, but that the document did not disclose information that they had determined was relevant to Mr. Foster's state of mind at the time of his death or his motive.
Justice Department investigators asked Mr. Hamilton, the Foster family's lawyer, for access to the diary and other papers kept by Mr. Foster, but so far he has refused to comply, the officials said. Federal prosecutors could demand the material by asserting that their inquiry is criminal in nature, but they appeared to be hoping to obtain the material without resorting to a formal order.
Efforts to contact Mr. Hamilton today were unsuccessful. Carl Stern, a spokesman for the Justice Department, declined to comment on the investigation, but said, "We expect to obtain anything that's relevant to the investigation." A Widening Inquiry
The resurgent investigative interest in Mr. Foster stems from a widening inquiry by the Justice Department, which began its investigation after the discovery of a note written by Mr. Foster, apparently in the days before his death. The note, torn into 27 pieces, was found in Mr. Foster's office in the bottom of his briefcase.
White House aides said they missed the note in an initial search of the office and did not find it until July 26. After a 30-hour delay, in which Mr. Clinton was advised of its contents, the White House provided the unsigned, undated note to the Park Police.
The note said nothing about the Clintons' business activities in Arkansas but alluded to cost overruns associated with redecorating the White House and possible wrongdoing at the White House travel office. The note was an anguished personal criticism of public life in Washington, where Mr. Foster said that ruining people's reputations was a public sport.
Later, Philip B. Heymann, the Deputy Attorney General, directed the Justice Department's public integrity section to investigate Mr. Foster's assertions regarding possible criminal wrongdoing. The Clintons' Family Lawyer
Mr. Heymann also ordered the Office of Professional Responsibility, the Justice Department's internal ethics office, to examine Mr. Foster's assertion that the F.B.I. had lied in a report to the Attorney General. That accusation presumably concerned the F.B.I.'s role in an investigation earlier this year involving the travel office after the White House dismissed several of its longtime employees.
As the Clintons' family lawyer, Mr. Foster worked on matters that blurred the line between his official role in the White House counsel's office and his private attorney-client relationship with the Clintons.
A year ago, Mr. Foster helped the Clintons sell their interest in Whitewater, which no longer operates. He also helped prepare tax returns for Whitewater that were later turned over to Mr. McDougal. In 1985 Mr. McDougal helped raise money for then Governor Clinton to pay off a $50,000 personal debt.
Recently, the Justice Department sent Federal prosecutors to Little Rock, Ark., to examine accusations that Madison Guaranty, a financial institution headed by Mr. McDougal, may have diverted depositor funds and that Whitewater was a possible beneficiary.

Okay this is my first post in the critique section so I'm not too sure
how people work with attachments, I'm guessing a PDF will be fine.
This is a project I'm doing in school in a typographic experimentation
class. The typography itself is not really experimental but it's more
conceptual. The text speaks about the page (or sheet), at first in a
very mathematical way and in the end it becomes an excuse for
imaginary travel.
I'm not sure how to say this in english but it's contained in itself,
at first the author writes :
I'm writing…
I'm writing : I'm writing…
I'm writing : "I'm writing…"
I'm writing that I'm writing…
For this reason, I gave a shot at Courier because it really conveys
that typewriter feel and also because I wanted to work the typography
in depth (I've already tweaked quite a bit of stuff in there).
I'd like to have your opinions, suggestions on the spacing. (And more
if you want / can read the text!)
By the way, some paragraphs are upside down because this is meant to
be folded. If anyone feels like giving it a shot, here are the
simplified translated instructions —
1 : Fold
2 : Flip
3 : Fold corner /
4 : Fold right corner too
5 : Fold one part
6 : Flip
7 : Fold one part
8 : Open and flatten
9 : Fold one part
10 : Fold one part
11 : Open and flatten
12 : Pull here.

Fewer school days to let teachers train
State schools will have two more non-teaching days from next year in South Australia to let teachers be trained in a revised national curriculum.
There are subjects for subjects including mathematics, science and English.
SA Education Minister Grace Portolesi says staff must be able to teach the new programs.
"The $10.5 million investment plus the two new pupil-free days will support teachers to teach the new Australian curriculum subjects," she said.
"We know that teachers are the single biggest factor in our schools that make a difference to the quality of education for every child, so this is a really important way of supporting our teachers."
Opposition education spokesman David Pisoni says he supports the national curriculum and teacher training, but it should not need more closure days.
"Forcing parents to wear the cost of extra child care while the schools aren't open is simply a shift of the cost of teacher training from the Government to parents," he said.
"In the non-government sector schools aren't closing and we've got to ask ourselves why it is that this Government has taken the easy option of simply closing schools for an extra two days a year?"

Compliance with competition/anti-trust laws ("competition law(s)") in the various jurisdictions in which IFFO and its members operate is a matter of key importance for both IFFO and for the fishmeal/fish oil industry in general.
The reputation of IFFO and its members is one of the most important assets we have as an industry in our dealings with governments, customers and other third parties. As a result, it is vital we comply fully with key trading laws in the jurisdictions in which we do business, not least relevant competition laws. In addition to significant reputational harm, a breach of competition law may also result in the serious penalties being imposed by the authorities.
The application of competition law in specific situations can be complex, and the relevant rules can differ somewhat across different jurisdictions. If members have any doubt as to whether the activities their company is engaged in are in compliance with relevant competition laws they are strongly advised to seek specific advice from their company's usual legal advisors.
There are two appendices to this Code of Practice prepared by our legal advisers, Travers Smith LLP. The first, for the IFFO Management Board, the second for all IFFO members. These appendices have been approved by the IFFO Management Board, are mandatory and will be updated by IFFO secretariat. The Revision number in the footer should be used to ensure this is the latest version.
This Code of Practice replaces earlier guidance issued in February 2008.
If you have any questions on the content of this note, or if you have any concerns as to the compatibility with competition law of any of your activities as an IFFO board member or the activities of IFFO more generally, please speak in the first instance to Andrew Mallison, IFFO Director General, or Jorge Mora, IFFO Operations Director.
This note has been prepared by IFFO's external lawyers, Travers Smith LLP, to provide an introduction to competition law compliance for new IFFO board members and to serve as an update/reminder for continuing board members. The note is based on the relevant EU and UK competition law provisions. However, the note is also likely to assist in compliance with the other main competition law regimes that may be relevant to the activities of IFFO and its members.
Compliance with competition/antitrust laws in the various jurisdictions in which IFFO and its members operate is a matter of key importance for both IFFO and the fishmeal/fish oil industry in general. Given in particular that competition authorities have historically been suspicious of the activities of trade associations, IFFO needs to ensure that not only are its activities compliant with competition law, but also that they are clearly seen to be compliant so as not to attract the interest of the competition authorities.
Entering into an arrangement or engaging in conduct in breach of competition law can lead to serious consequences for IFFO and its directors/employees as well as for IFFO member companies and their directors/employees. The potential consequences include:
• reputational harm to IFFO and its member companies;
• significant monetary fines on IFFO member companies and potentially IFFO;
• for certain "hard core" competition offences individual directors/employees may face criminal sanctions, including imprisonment;
• disqualification as a director for the individuals involved;
• third party damages claims and invalidity of infringing agreements;
• utilisation of IFFO and IFFO member company resources.
Note that many competition law regimes (including the EU, UK and US) apply on an extra territorial basis. As a result companies and individuals should not consider that they are safe from the application of particular competition law regimes simply because an arrangement is concluded outside a particular jurisdiction.
The area of competition law most relevant to IFFO and its members is that relating to horizontal arrangements between competitors. Note that such arrangements need not be written or formal in order to result in a breach, and competition law can also apply to "nod and wink" agreements between competitors. Also note that EU and UK competition law can apply to "decisions of associations" (i.e. decisions, rules and in certain circumstances recommendations) as well as direct arrangements between association members.
Particular types of so called "hard core" practices are considered so serious that they will almost always be considered to amount to a breach of competition law, regardless of the particular factual circumstances. If IFFO member companies (and potentially IFFO itself) were found to have engaged in such activities then they are likely to face heavy fines and the individuals involved may potentially face criminal sanctions. As a result it is particularly important that both in the context of the IFFO board and as regards the activities of IFFO more widely the following are always avoided:
• market or customer sharing;
• price fixing, bid rigging or agreements on important non-price terms;
• capacity and output limitations;
• collective boycotts of customers or suppliers.
In addition to these so called hard core breaches certain other "grey area" practices can also result in a breach of competition law if, in the particular circumstances of the relevant fishmeal and fish oil markets, the relevant practice appreciably affects competition (or has that purpose) and is not able to be otherwise justified.
The grey area breaches particularly relevant to a trade association such as IFFO are:
• that an association should not be used as a forum for an information exchange which amounts to a breach of competition law, either;
- because it underpins a related price fixing, market sharing or other hard core practice; or
- because, as a separate matter, the amount and/or detail of the information exchanged leads to tacit coordination of competitors' behaviour by removing usual market uncertainties or enabling the prediction of the behaviour of a specific competitor.
• That membership restrictions or agreed technical standards of an association should not operate as a barrier to entering the relevant markets.
The following are some of the practical steps IFFO board members should adhere to in order to ensure compliance with competition law:
• The IFFO board should not make recommendations to members on matters such as prices or standard terms and conditions and board members should take care to ensure that any public comments (e.g. in the trade press) cannot be construed as conveying an IFFO "view" on price standard terms.
• All IFFO board meetings should be conducted according to a clear agenda circulated in advance and members should avoid deviating from this agenda. Discussion of prices, sales matters, individual customers or specific groups of customers should be avoided. Minutes should be kept of each meeting in order to be able to demonstrate that the discussion did not go beyond the agenda.
• Generally contact between competing IFFO member companies outside of formal IFFO meetings should be kept to a minimum and limited to instances where there is a legitimate commercial reason for such contact. Any such meetings should be conducted in accordance with the same recommendations above as regards IFFO board meetings (as applicable).
• The various regular information exchanges under the auspices of IFFO (e.g. the weekly/monthly/stock reports) should be conducted according to separate guidance provided by Travers Smith LLP. This guidance has recommended certain restrictions on the way in which relevant information is collected from members and the level of detail that is reported back to members.
• The bi-annual supply/demand forum meetings should be conducted according to separate guidance provided by Travers Smith LLP. In particular, these meetings should be open to associate members and there should be certain limitations on the information presented and matters discussed.
• The information collected for and reported back at the bi-annual IFFO conferences, and the procedures for collecting and reporting back this information, should be in accordance with separate guidance provided by Travers Smith LLP (see Appendix 2).
Competition laws generally govern each of: horizontal agreements between competitors (e.g. price fixing and market sharing); certain arrangements between suppliers and customers (e.g. resale price maintenance); and the conduct of dominant firms.
This guidance note focuses only on the first category, horizontal agreements between competitors, which can in turn be broken into two broad categories: "hard core practices" and "grey area" practices.
Note that the concept of "agreement" in the context of competition law is very broad. An agreement can be implied from conduct and does not need to be written or indeed binding; so called "gentlemen's agreements" will be caught. Further, the relevant provisions of EU and UK competition law can also extend to encompass decisions of associations. As a result, even where a particular anti-competitive practice does not involve direct agreement between competitors, it might nonetheless be caught by competition law on the basis that it results from the constitution, rules or a recommendation of a trade association.
Particular types of practices (so called "hard core" practices) are considered so serious that they will almost always be considered to amount to a breach of competition law, regardless of the particular factual circumstances. Information that these practices maybe occurring are also most likely to result in investigations by competition authorities and, if their initial suspicions are confirmed, lead to the heaviest fines against the companies involved and, potentially, criminal sanctions against the individuals involved. For these reasons the following activities should always be avoided:
• Market or customer sharing: a company agreeing with a competitor that each of them will only supply (or will not supply) a certain group of customers or a certain territory.
• Price-fixing with competitors: any agreement between competitors on prices should be avoided. This prohibition extends to all price related aspects including: an agreed range; the timing of price increases; limiting discounts or rebates; and agreeing margins.
• Bid- rigging: an agreement between competitors as to how to respond to an invitation to tender from a customer (e.g. one company agrees to submit an uncompetitive bid in return for a reciprocal arrangement on a subsequent tender).
• Further hardcore restrictions: the following practices should also be avoided: agreements on important non-price terms (e.g. credit facilities); capacity and output limitations (e.g. agreements on production levels); and collective boycotts (e.g. an agreement not to deal with a certain customer).
Other activities will only result in a breach of competition law if in the particular instance they do in practice appreciably effect competition (or have that purpose) and cannot be otherwise justified on efficiency/consumer benefit grounds. Two examples relevant to IFFO are the exchange of confidential information between competitors and the activities of trade associations generally.
An information exchange between competitors will certainly be problematic where it operates to underpin a related price-fixing, market sharing or other "hard core" practice. However an information exchange can also be problematic in its own right where it leads to the tacit coordination of competitors' behaviour by removing a degree of normal uncertainty in the market and/or enabling a company to predict competitors' behaviour. Whether an information exchange does give rise to a competition law breach is a question of fact and degree in the individual case, but in particular concerns can arise where:
• price information is exchanged;
• the information is confidential rather than public;
• the information is current/future rather than historic;
• the information is detailed rather than overview;
• the exchange is systematic rather than ad hoc; or
• the information is exchanged directly between competitors rather than via an independent third party.
As regards trade associations, particular concerns are likely to arise where:
• membership restrictions or agreed technical standards operate as a barrier to entering the market;
• the association is used as a forum for the coordination of price fixing, market sharing or another hard core breach;
• the association serves as a forum for an information exchange which amounts to a breach of competition law.
Trade associations and information exchanges
• IFFO's membership criteria should be set on a fair and objective basis and any technical standards set by IFFO must be able to be objectively justified.
• IFFO should not make recommendations to its members on matters such as prices or standard terms and conditions.
• IFFO should not place restrictions on, or recommend the restriction of, members' activities (e.g. restricting them from dealing with particular customers).
• Any IFFO meetings should be conducted according to a clear agenda circulated in advance and members should avoid deviating from this agenda. Discussion of prices or sales matters should be avoided, in particular discussions in relation to specific customers or groups of customers;
• Detailed minutes should be kept of each such meeting in order to be able to demonstrate the discussion did not go beyond the agenda items. Depending on the subject matter and context of the meeting IFFO may require that a competition lawyer attends the meeting.
• As regards information exchanges under the auspices of IFFO, any sharing of information should be subject to separate legal advice or supervision and at a level of aggregation such that individual competitors or customers cannot in practice be identified (e.g. by aggregation into sufficiently broad geographic categories). So far as possible any such information shared should be made available to any member who is prepared to pay for the service.
• Generally contact between competitors outside of formal IFFO meetings should be kept to a minimum and limited to instances where there is a legitimate commercial reason for such contact, for example lobbying of a government to increase fishing quotas.
• Any such meetings should be conducted in accordance with the same recommendations above as regards formal IFFO meetings (i.e. conducting the meeting according to a pre-circulated agenda; avoiding discussion of prices or sales/demand matters; keeping detailed minutes; and considering whether a competition lawyer should attend).
Given the wide ranging investigatory powers of many competition authorities it is difficult to ensure that any document that is created will remain confidential. Documents containing careless and inappropriate language may make perfectly legitimate conduct appear suspicious or collusive and it may be difficult to subsequently convince a lay reader of the true meaning and context of a suspicious statement. As such it is important to take care in the language used in preparing all documents whether internal or external. The following are useful guidelines:
• Follow the "Financial Times Rule": do not write anything that you would be embarrassed to read on the front page of the FT;
• Avoid all language that could be interpreted as indicating an understanding with a competitor (e.g. "XY's price cut came as expected by us");
• Avoid the use of words implying that there is something to hide (e.g. "Do not copy", "Destroy after having read", "off-the-record"); and
• When you report market information always record the source of the information.
