ECCIA meetings in Strasbourg

On Tuesday 12th and Wednesday 13th June 2018, Walpole is in Strasbourg to discuss issues affecting the luxury industry with our counterparts from within the European Cultural and Creative Industries Alliance: Spain’s Circulo Fortuny; Comité Colbert of France; the Italian Fondazione Altagamma; and Germany’s Meisterkreis, as well as MEPs from across the EU. Walpole’s CEO Helen Brocklebank and Charlotte Keesing, Director of Public Affairs and International, are in the official seat of the European Parliament to confer on topics including protection of IP and governance of the internet, with an emphasis on selective distribution and counterfeiting. It is also an opportunity for us to continue to promote the cultural and creative industries, which luxury sits within, as a key driver of Europe’s overall economic health, competitiveness, innovation and employment.
