Ordinary General Assembly of FEDECOM
The Federation of Official Spanish Chambers of Commerce in Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania (FEDECOM) held its Ordinary General Assembly last March 26th in Madrid.
The meeting took place in the facilities of the Spanish Chamber of Commerce and was attended by representatives of the 19 member Chambers.
During the meeting, the balance of last year’s activities and the state of the accounts were presented. Also, the adhesion to the Federation of the Chambers in Japan, Arab Emirates, Qatar, Tunisia and Malta was presented, given that they have recently been recognised by the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism. The Chamber in South Korea, in the process of recognition, also participated in the meeting.
Subsequently, the General Assembly unanimously appointed Eduardo Barrachina, President of the Official Spanish Chamber of Commerce in the United Kingdom, as new President of FEDECOM.
The President said that “a medium-term strategy will be agreed to improve coordination and will allow us to set clear and realistic objectives”. Among other initiatives, the new President plans to collaborate actively with the Spanish Chamber of Commerce and the Secretary of State of Global Spain.
The Assembly recognized Juan Rodriguez-Villa Matons for the work developed at the head of the federation during the last years. His management has been fundamental to establish a link between the foreign network and the Spanish Chamber of Commerce.
The outgoing president expressed his support to Barrachina, as well as his complete disposition to continue collaborating in favor of the network of Official Spanish Chambers of Commerce abroad.
