The sugar regime is feeling the impact of the WTO reforms and several sugar producers across Europe will close. Those remaining will look to expand their businesses whilst looking at value-added products and alternative markets.

hope the link works.
There was a packaging conference in AUSTRIA 12-13/6/06
Terry robbins was selling benefits of GREENSEAL to the masses.
I still think regardless of which company supplies bulk of PLA derivatives, the future will be green and if machines have a liife of approx 5 years, GREENSEAL with its cost savings is well placed to take a good share of market. Hopefully fully supported by starpol 2/3/4/5000.

Hi all,
In the process of returning to civilisation after 2 weeks high in the Caucuses Mountains, within 130miles of Chechnia and 250miles of Iran (against FO advice, I am now told) and driving on the Moscow Circle road (a sort of M25 equivalent but wider and faster - much faster!) in the evening dusk an hour or so ago, I noticed a Food Packaging exhibition was being held at the new Exhibition Centre. No time to stop and look to see if I could get in tomorrow, but it did bring my thoughts to SEO.
Back to the real M25 tomorrow evening :-((

I think you may have to accept sometime that SEO is finished... And report only REAL news, not just extracts from articles praising renewable packaging and trying to link them to SEO, or quoting trades that mean very little.
A few months ago I was stupid enough to buy SEO at 14p!!! I regret that decison everyday and will continue to until I pluck up the courage to take such a loss, I only hope that you got in lower and still have the chance to sell without damaging your portoflio heavily.

Dissappointing, slow, frustrating, enigmatic.
I can accept any of these epithets. Finished is a little strong.
Care to elucidate on the reasons behind that particular sentence. Appealing to REAL news please for your authority.

Thats for posting the email Alan.
GD Potts, how can you say SEO are finished!!! Do you even realise how many potential and producing revenue streams this company has? Maybe you were just referring to a single stream, please clarify your post and include evidence where at all possible.

GD POTTS . I think SEO's legs are are a lot longer and attractive in the long term than SYM.
Took a nice profit from them, them dumped as I think it's being hyped at present.
Happy to hold SEO, may reinvest in SYM when it drops again.
It's only money, get a backbone and hold shares long term or accept your losses gracefully.

Sorry to hear about your (paper) loss.

Hewittalan6 - SEO are certainly slow and largely disappointing on all fronts, I agree with you there. However, for someone to use elucidate in a thread you must be educated and I see no reason why you could not comprehend my previous post. To summarise I am disappointed with SEO as a whole and when I stated real news I was referring to the fact that people on this thread tend to post comments not worth a second glance. (E.g. The articles that you are trying to link to SEO, Garbyle 16 June)
Explosive - POTENTIAL is the key word in your sentence, nothing of any importance has actually been agreed, and Im not saying that I dont invest on speculation but the speculation around SEO died long ago. (Just look at the share price).
Tweenie - You shouldnt have compared SEO to Symphony, SYM actually have the contracts to prove their worth above SEO, and also the speculation of new contracts with large retailers, (Yet they still have a market cap of only 7.5 million compared to SEOs 82 Million), I think you may have been unlucky to ditch them so early when it is clear that their potential, in terms of share price gain which is what we Invest for, is far greater than SEO.
'Its only money, get a backbone and hold shares long term or accept your losses gracefully', a rather distressing comment on your behalf. I assumed that most Investors, myself Included, look to make money and dont accept losses gracefully. With regard to 'Hold shares long term', that is only a strategy and one that is not mine. I would have hoped that you may have been open minded enough to realise that.
'Its only money' - another outrageous comment. Yes money is not all in this world, but in investing it is, so the sooner you realise that the better.
I look forward to your replies.

PaperBack I have only just spotted your reply and so cannot add it to the above, my patience expired long ago.

Still no rationale for the word finished.
When I last checked, finished meant ended, done, over, emptied, used up or completed.
SEO is none of these. All of the negotiations may yet come to nothing, true.
I never disagreed with the tone of your post and your lack of patience over a share that has underperformed when measured against our hopes and dreams. I did get annoyed by that one word.
When there is an RNS saying that WM / Asda have walked away. McD and Persico have lost interest, nobody wants the ciggy filters, the patents are getting auctioned and numerous other things, then the word is justified.
Until then, simple logic says that the company is way from finished and is a lot closer to "only just started".
It may be a false start, it may not. That is the nature of the gambling addiction we call investing.

Finished may have been strong yet it appears that SEO is simply waltzing towards being finished in that it has done nothing worthy of explicit mention, i.e. signed a deal with Asda as you say.
SEO also seems to be waltzing fustratingly slowly, I admire your patience and defence of this company although I find it miss placed. Time will tell. (For me 2 months and then thats it, probably at 5p by then).

GDP,
Thanks for the mention. You certainly do seem to be somewhat peeved!
My posts of the 16th related to the mention by T. Robins of SEO's comms with Tate and Lyle and the fact that their Hycail plant does not yet produce any significant amount of PLA. You may deem it a tenuous link, but I see it as a medium term prospect of a major supply of PLA to Europe.
My investment strategy is medium to long so am happy to keep my interst in SEO intact until real news changes my opinion. The potential is immense.
You're not a long-term investor and have been caught out with this stock....poor you, stop bellyaching would you.
By the end of next week at the latest we should have the interims through and also a mention of the first commercial GS installation {I hope}.

I hope so too. Not because I'm nervous, but because I'm off on my hols a week on Wednesday and would love to see the interims before I go, rather than have to look for them upon my return.
Still, like many on here, I will view the interims as nothing more, or less, than an interesting short term event, on the long road I set on with SEO.
