GCCA, Other Associations Call for Support of European Cold Chain
The voice of the cold chain will be heard and included in decision-making across a range of vital issues that face the future of the European Union. That is the shared ambition of a group of national and international trade associations, who have published a Call to Action before this year’s European Parliamentary elections.
Organizations representing well over 5,000 European logistics companies have issued this call. They set out how food, pharmaceutical and horticultural supply chains have proved resilient despite unprecedented challenges—pandemic, war, energy shortage and price inflation.
Using the call to action, the partners will coordinate to ensure that politicians and policymakers recognize the vital and specific role that refrigerated warehousing and transport play in underpinning the European economy and way of life and understand how their decisions can ensure the cold chain continues to succeed in the years ahead.
GCCA is joined in this initiative by nine other European and international organizations, including Asociacion de Explotaciones Frigorficas Logisticas y Distribucion de Espana (SPAIN), BE Cold (BELGIUM), European Cold Storage and Logistics Association (EUROPE), Greek Cold Storage and Logistics Association (GREECE), La Chaine Logistique Du Froid (FRANCE), Schweiz Verband Für Kühl- Und Tiefkühl-Logistik (SWITZERLAND), Transfrigoroute International (EUROPE), Verband Deutscher Kuehlhaeuser & Kühllogistikunternehmen (GERMANY), and Vereniging Van Nederlandse Koel- En Vrieshuize (THE NETHERLANDS)
