Eurochambres

Eurochambres was founded 28 February 1958 as the "Conférence Permanente des Chambres de Commerce et d’Industrie de la CEE" by six members, to promote the views of chamber organisations on the unification of national legislation at the European level and to form opinions regarding the modifications to be made to commercial legislation.

Another objective of the Conférence was to bring closer competences in order to provide an example of the European cooperation of the highest quality level.

Initial members were national association of Chambers of Commerce and Industry from Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and Netherlands.

Eurochambres was registered as an international non-profit organisation in Belgium (AISBL - Association internationale à but non lucratif) in 1977.

The network expanded progressively to national associations and transnational organisations of chambers from an enlarged Europe.
