ICHSLTA seek closer co-operation
5 May 2010The 81st ICHSLTA AGM took place in Hong Kong on March 28 prior to the APLF. Delegates (from China, US, Turkey, France, Australia) confirmed that they had all seen a recovery in past few months following a very difficult 2009. An exchange of information on tariffs and environmental protection policies were discussed.
ICHSLTA also agreed to work more closely with the International Council of Tanners on contracts 6 and 7 as well as work more co-operatively with the ICT on improving the rules of the trade.
The association said in a statement that they were also examining the possibility of working more closely with organisations such as UNIDO and the FAO.
The Japanese Leather Industry Association (JLIA) were officially adopted as a full member and Proyecto Catalana Del Cuero were adopted as an associate member.
