Not on blacklist

I am writing with reference to a blacklist of companies recently published by the Director General of Customs and Duties in which PT Seroja qq PT Akzo Nobel Car is mentioned.

I would like you to inform your readers that neither our company PT Akzo Nobel Car Refinishes Indonesia nor PT Seroja is on the blacklist, nor should they at any time have been on this list, as evidenced by the clarification letters No Ket- 14/WBC.04/1997 and Ket-15/WBC.04/1997 dated April 14, 1997.

We hope by publishing this letter you will clear up any misunderstanding regarding our company caused by the publication of this blacklist.

P.M. DE GROOT

President Director

PT Akzo Nobel Car Refinishes Indonesia
