Asia-Pacific conference canceled

YOGYAKARTA: The 4th Asia Pacific Roundtable for Cleaner
Production (APRCP) Conference scheduled to be held in Yogyakarta
from Oct. 21 to Oct. 24 has been canceled following the Bali
terror attacks that killed nearly 200 people last week.

Rudi Pesik, a member of the event organizing committee, said
in statement made available to the Jakarta Post that the
conference would be moved to much safer Phuket, Thailand from
Dec. 12 to Dec. 18.

"The decision was taken by APRCP headquarters in Manila," he
said.

The conference was expected to feature 300 participants, 120
of them had confirmed their entry prior to the cancellation. --JP
