Tetra Laval senior vice-president, communications Jörgen Haglind says the Commission is claiming the company failed to notify it sufficiently early of its ongoing development of a new technology, Tetra Fast, which attempts to use combustion technology in place of compressed air to form PET bottles.
"The technology is still in development phase", he said "and the Commission has shown a manifest misunderstanding of both its features and potential. We do not believe the Commission has any grounds to impose a fine".
