EMECA meets European Commission |
| |
 The European exhibition industry is essential for the goals of the European Commission, particularly the promotion of SMEs. This was made clear by Karl-Friedrich Falkenberg, Director DG Trade European Commission, speaking to over 100 guests from politics, trade and industry at a reception organized by EMECA (European Major Exhibition Centres Association) in Brussels in December. |

In his speech, Michael v. Zitzewitz, Chairman of the Management Board of Messe Frankfurt and President of EMECA, invited those present to join forces: "Let's create the future together!" European exhibition centres, so v. Zitzewitz, offer their events as platforms for direct networking between European politics and industry. Close co-operation with trade associations at the European level therefore plays an ever-increasing role. EMECA wants to intensify this co-operation in the future. Moreover, the presentation of legal and political regulations setting the framework for trade and industry must become an integral part of trade fairs and congresses. Co-operations with and integration of associations and EU bodies will improve the communication and implementation of EU policies. And the quality of the information will make the events even more profitable for the companies participating in them. |
