Topics Discussed: Common terminology for packaging machinery throughout the world. Revision of the Customs Codes for international trade and statistics. A database of exhibitions and events in developing countries and emerging markets so C.O.P.A.M.A. members can find the most suitable events where machinery suppliers can exhibit.
