A
transatlantic Memorandum of Understanding, recently signed by two
offset associations, ensures cooperation to improve the
effectiveness and professional conduct of their respective members.
It will also improve communication regarding events, and result in
the sharing of information relevant in the offset and countertrade
discipline.
The
agreement was concluded October 2012 between the European Club for
Countertrade and Offset (ECCO) and GOCA, the
Global Offset and Countertrade Association.
ECCO�s goals are
to create
an international platform to share information and best practices in
the field of offset and countertrade activities, with a specific
focus on training. GOCA (www.globaloffset.org),
headquartered in Washington, D.C., aims
to
promote trade and commerce between companies around the world and
their foreign customers through a greater understanding of
countertrade and offset.
