New Edition: International Debt Collections Handbook!

AMSTERDAM, March 3, 2010 - Atradius Collections, the global expert in domestic and cross-border debt
collections, releases today the new extended edition of its International
Debt Collections Handbook.

With cash flow improvements still on the priority list of businesses this
year, the Atradius International Debt Collections Handbook provides practical
information on different facets of the collections process in countries
around the world - from amicable to legal, as well as specifics on cultural,
judicial and financial regulations.

Launched last year, the Atradius International Debt Collections Handbook
has quickly become a popular industry reference book with hundreds of
visitors accessing the handbook on the company's website:
www.atradiuscollections.com

With this new edition Atradius Collections expanded the geographical
reach covered by the Handbook by adding extensive information on 5 new
countries - Ireland, Austria, Greece, Turkey and Tunisia. In addition, the
Debt Collections Handbook features numerous updates to the 20 countries
initially covered at launch.

"We are delighted that our customers and the public at large are using
the Handbook as a regular reference tool," said Rudi de Greve, Atradius
Collections' Global Operations Director. "Besides factual, legal and
regulatory information, we also aim to provide some cultural and business
insight into the country's collections landscape, helping companies select
the right approach to debt collection in their countries of operation. For
example - did you know that it is customary for a debtor in Tunisia to hire a
lawyer to slow down the collection process?"

The new enhanced version of the Handbook is available to access from our
website: www.atradiuscollections.com
