BASF AG/Takeda Chemicals Industries inquiry

Consultants

Expert technical advice on vitamin manufacture is being provided mainly by PA Technology (consultants: Michael Noble and Carole Sammon).  Although PA has worked with BASF, Hoffmann La Roche, Aventis and Eastman on a number of projects, none of these have concerned vitamin production.  Neither of the two consultants concerned have been engaged on any assignment for BASF.  A consultant from Arthur O'Little (Dr Enrico Polastro), who has carried out assignments for many companies in the five chemical industries, has also agreed to assist by having a more limited discussion on technical matters with Commission staff.  Main parties and third parties have been invited to comment on any conflicts of interest.
