     * Some GUF's call the agrements "Framework Agreements" not Code of Conduct because there had been only a few principles fixed in the first agrement which often have been extended by additional agreements. For instance in the case of Danone the first agreement of 1988 has meanwhile been developed by 6 other agreements.
