COTANCE meets in Pompeii 

COTANCE’s 2009 Assembly General and Council took place on June 5 in Pompeii, at the site’s “Auditorium degli Scavi”. The encounter offered  the opportunity to visit the ancient Roman tannery in the archaeological site that was recently restored thanks to UNIC (Unione Nazionale Industria Conciaria), COTANCE’s Italian member.

Representatives of 12 national Leather Trade Associations responded to the convocation of COTANCE President, Nalle Johansson (ELMO, Sweden).
The agenda included the unprecedented crisis that is hitting the sector and the strategies that need to be adopted for its economic recovery, including recent and future European regulations, notably in the area of the protection of the environment, as well as their impact on the sector’s companies.
