AISE
  E-NEWS FOR A.I.S.E. MEMBERS, March 2020  
AISE
 
 
Foreword by Susanne Zänker, A.I.S.E. Director General

In these challenges days while we deal with the spread of COVID 19, I would like to reiterate that A.I.S.E. and its team remain committed to serving the membership to the best of its ability. In view of the governmental restrictions also in Belgium, the A.I.S.E. team is mainly working from home, co-ordinating our work online and via conference calls as best as possible. Our focus is on the most urgent matters that we face, to make sure that cleaning and hygiene products that we can provide to help contain this dramatic situation can be made available to health professionals and the public at large, namely overall product availability and the continued functioning of the production facilities. We continue nevertheless to keep track of and inform you all important business issues for our industry, such as Green Deal, CLP related issues, microplastics, Charter 2020 promotion, etc. .

I wish you all to remain in good health, to be able to run your business as smoothly as possible so that we can continue to contribute through essential products to overcome this most difficult situation. I am counting also on the ongoing valued support of our membership and stay at your disposal on any issues where we can be of further help.

Yours sincerely,
Susanne Zänker
