Joint office in Brussels
Under this agreement the secretarial services of both organisations will be coordinated by ESPO. EFIP and ESPO will however stay separate legal entities with independent decision-making structures.
The agreement is an extension of the Platform of European Sea and Inland Ports which both associations established two years ago to underline the increased co-operation between sea and inland ports in the European logistical landscape and to reinforce the voice of European port authorities in Brussels.
