COMMENTARY TO THE BNS NEWS OF 16.11.98: 

"ESTONIAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY THREW PENNU OUT BECAUSE 

OF TAMPERING"

 

In April of the current year, PCTG sent a shipment of computer sets to 

Ukraine. Our business partner there asked us to confirm that the computers 

supplied are produced in Estonia by PCTG. What followed was caused by the 

incompetence and inexperience of some of the PCTG employees.

Considering the above-mentioned document unimportant (since the goods were 

not shipped to Ukraine with the EUR1 custom declarations, and our partner did

not seek tax allowances), the above-mentioned employees thought that PCTG 

as a member of the Estonian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ECCI) can confirm 

the origin of the goods produced and shipped by themselves. The text was drafted 

on the unnumbered original form of the ECCI (which are officially sold by ECCI 

without limiting the conditions and directions for using them), and signed and 

stamped by an employee of PCTG. Therefore, there was no tampering of the form 

or certificate of origing, as it was claimed in the BNS article.

 

Without justifying its incorrect deed, PCTG confirms that it had no intention

to harm the reputation of ECCI or Estonian economy, or to dispatch

false information. PCTG's explanations and apologies are also presented

to the The Estonian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. As of today, PCTG has 

not received a formal notification of exclusion from the ECCI.
