The center is shifting

International shipments to any place in the world are continuously gaining in importance. The former so-called Eastern Bloc has become an important part of Europe, and the eastern countries are moving towards the center of Europe in both economic and political terms.

Last year, EPAL founded two new National Committees with one being responsible for the Baltic countries (i. e. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) and the other one concentrating on Bulgaria, Romania and Greece. In the following editions of the EPAL-News, these new National Committees will introduce themselves, presenting on the one hand their strategies for enlightenment and training and on the other hand their strategies against harmful brand counterfeiting.
