CEFTA Chambers to work on a joint project with DIHK

Business chambers from Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA) signatory-states together with the German Association of Chambers of Industry and Commerce (DIHK) will work on improving the capacity of small and medium companies in order to feel the benefits from this agreement and to boost expert capacities of chambers for better dialogue with governments. As a result, Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development through the Open Regional Funds for Southeastern Europe has set aside 1.5 million euros for the project to be realized in a period of three years with a possibility to be extended for another three.
 
In addition to CEFTA signatory countries, the project also includes companies from Turkey, Bulgaria, Greece and Romania. German government's assistance is significant for CEFTA countries because it demonstrates support for the establishment of single free trade zone in the CEFTA region. The Economic Chamber of FYR Macedonia on Wednesday hosted a workshop in the frames of the project where CEFTA countries exchanged experiences on the role of the business community in creating business climate.
