AFAEMME takes part in ASCAME’s Women Entrepreneurs Commission

AFAEMME, represented by Mrs. Mª Helena de Felipe, has begun working in the Commission on Women Entrepreneurs of ASCAEME, the Association of the Mediterranean Chambers of Commerce and Industry.

The Commission, which is presided by Mrs. Najoua Attia, President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Cap Bon, held its first meeting on November 11th within the framework of ASCAME’s XIX General Assembly and the celebration of the organisation’s 25th Anniversary. The Commission’s main objective is to prepare different action plans that will favour Mediterranean Women Entrepreneurs that are expected to be launched in 2009.

ASCAME is an Organisation with a membership of more than 200 Chambers of Commerce, and other associated entities, from 22 countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. It was created with the primary goal of furthering economic cooperation throughout the Mediterranean region, expressing a strategic vision of North-South cooperation and integration. This vision was confirmed by the creayion of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership in 1995 through the “Barcelona Process” and has been validated today by the “Union for the Mediterranean”.
