The Integrated Product Policy (COM (2003)302) identified Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as the “best framework for assessing the potential environmental impacts of products”. It highlighted the necessity for a Platform on LCA and to increase the availability of quality-assured life-cycle data. The JRC responded to these needs by establishing the European Platform on Life Cycle Assessment (EPLCA), through which it has facilitated the development of the European reference Life Cycle Database (ELCD), the International reference Life Cycle Data System (ILCD) Handbook, and the Life Cycle Data Network (LCDN). The European Platform on LCA is a project of the European Commission, carried out by the Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC), Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) in collaboration with DG Environment Directorate Green Economy. Our thinking: Life Cycle Approach

Towards a "World Intellectual Wealth Organisation" Towards a Supporting the Geneva Declaration The Geneva Declaration is an impressive step towards the creation of a broad coalition of people, organisations and countries1 demanding that the international community re-think the goals and mechanisms for awarding monopoly control over different kinds of knowledge. It offers many constructive, concrete suggestions for changes in WIPO goals, policies and priorities, and provides ample and insightful arguments for redesign of the copyright and patent bargains to better serve the public interest of all of humankind. We are convinced that new answers sometimes require new questions, not more careful repetition of old questions.

Convention Establishing the World Intellectual Property Organization (Signed at Stockholm on July 14, 1967 andas amended on September 28, 1979) The Contracting Parties, Desiring to contribute to better understanding and co-operation among States for their mutual benefit on the basis of respect for their sovereignty and equality, Desiring, in order to encourage creative activity, to promote the protection of intellectual property throughout the world, Patent Cooperation Treaty The Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) is an international patent law treaty, concluded in 1970. It provides a unified procedure for filing patent applications to protect inventions in each of its contracting states. A patent application filed under the PCT is called an international application, or PCT application. A single filing of an international application is made with a Receiving Office (RO) in one language.

World Intellectual Property Organization The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is the global forum for intellectual property services, policy, information and cooperation. WIPO Translate WIPO has developed a ground-breaking new “artificial intelligence”-based translation tool for patent documents. WIPO Translate is free of charge and available through the PATENTSCOPE database. International Organization for Standardization The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an international standard-setting body composed of representatives from various national standards organizations. Founded on 23 February 1947, the organization promotes worldwide proprietary, industrial and commercial standards. It is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland,[2] and as of 2013 works in 164 countries.[4]

Heck, it simply follows that with fewer companies to choose from, it would be simpler to pick 100. Not at all.
