AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES TO REFRAIN FROM TAKING PART IN INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITIONS OTHER THAN THOSE ORGANIZED BY BPICA MAY BE REGARDED AS INDISPENSABLE TO THE ATTAINMENT OF THE BENEFIT ACHIEVED THROUGH RATIONALIZATION OF THE DISPLAY OF MOTOR VEHICLES AT SUCH EVENTS .
15 . THE BPICA REGULATIONS DO NOT ELIMINATE COMPETITION BETWEEN FAIR ORGANIZERS , SINCE THE LATTER ARE ENTITLED TO SEEK THE INCLUSION OF MOTOR VEHICLES IN ANY EXHIBITION OTHER THAN THOSE WHICH ARE NOT AUTHORIZED BY BPICA AND ALSO SINCE MOTOR VEHICLES ARE ONLY ONE FORM OF ADVERTISING AMONG MANY OTHERS AT THEIR DISPOSAL . THE REGULATIONS DO NOT ELIMINATE COMPETITION BETWEEN MANUFACTURERS OR DISTRIBUTORS OF MOTOR VEHICLES , FOR THE DISPLAY OF A PRODUCT AT AN EXHIBITION IS ONLY ONE OF MANY METHODS OF MARKETING . IN ORDER TO PROMOTE SALES , MANUFACTURERS OF MOTOR VEHICLES HAVE AT THEIR DISPOSAL ALL THE FACILITIES OF THE MASS MEDIA FOR ATTRACTING THE LARGEST POSSIBLE NUMBER OF CONSUMERS , NOT TO MENTION THE ADDITIONAL PROMOTION CARRIED OUT BY MANUFACTURERS' REPRESENTATIVES IN THEIR DIRECT CONTACT WITH POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS . IT MUST BE BORNE IN MIND THAT MOTOR MANUFACTURERS AND/OR THEIR REPRESENTATIVES MAY TAKE PART IN NATIONAL , REGIONAL , LOCAL AND SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS NOT REQUIRING BPICA AUTHORIZATION , IN ADDITION TO THE NUMEROUS EVENTS ORGANIZED BY BPICA .
16 . IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES A FAVOURABLE RESPONSE MAY BE GIVEN TO BPICA'S APPLICATION FOR RENEWAL OF THE COMMISSION DECISION OF 7 NOVEMBER 1977 , WHICH MAY BE RENEWED FOR A PERIOD OF 10 YEARS .
17 . FOR THE REASONS PREVIOUSLY OUTLINED IN THE DECISION OF 7 NOVEMBER 1977 , THE CONDITIONS ATTACHING TO THE SAID DECISION OF 7 NOVEMBER 1977 MUST ALSO FORM AN INTEGRAL PART OF THIS DECISION ,
