Europe

Walpole is a founder of the European Cultural and Creative Industries Alliance (ECCIA), composed of the seven national European luxury goods and creative industries organisations: Walpole (UK); Circulo Fortuny (Spain); Laurel (Portugal); Comité Colbert (France); Fondazione Altagamma (Italy); Meisterkreis (Germany); and Gustaf III Kommitté (Sweden).

Collectively, ECCIA represents the interests of high-end creative and cultural businesses in Brussels, working to understand EU regulation, legislation and policy change that affects your business.

ECCIA's key areas

In 2024, Walpole took on the Presidency of ECCIA. While outside of the EU, many EU regulations still affect UK businesses, for whom Europe is a key export market. As such, Walpole works actively in Brussels, campaigning to change regulations and policies that hamper our members’ ability to do business.
