European consumers no longer worry about whether or not there will be adequate supply of goods. They are more concerned about quality, ingredients, production methods and their impact on the environment. Trade must answer these concerns as well as meet the challenges arising from globalisation. The COCERAL Congress 2002 will gather a large number of experts in order to try to take stock of the situation of these new waves. In addition, the impact of currency fluctuation, the best solutions for crisis management and the new trends of agricultural policy on both sides of the Atlantic will be examined. As well as tackling these questions which will have a decisive impact on commercial operations over the years to come, the Congress will, as usual, represent a forum for exchange and meetings for all commercial operators.
