The world around us is constantly changing. Even in terms of cooperation within countries themselves but – more importantly for us – between them, change is a constant. Therein lie opportunities not only to consolidate but also to expand cooperation. It gives me great pleasure to note that EURIEC is playing a firm role in this. In the still relatively short time I have been working as Head of EURIEC, I have seen the dedication of the members of EURIEC who are constantly investing in the expansion of cooperation and data exchange. Therefore, it is with great confidence that I am looking forward to what the future will bring us.
