17 October 2009 / HARUN ÇÜMEN, İSTANBUL
The president of the Turkish Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges (TOBB), Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu, has been elected deputy chairman of the Association of European Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Eurochambres).
The TOBB president secured the votes of 35 countries out of a total of 40 -- including Germany and France, both of which oppose Turkey's membership in the European Union, along with Greece, Greek Cyprus and Israel -- on Wednesday.
Hisarcıklıoğlu will be the first deputy chairman of Eurochambres from a country that is not a member of the EU. Founded in 1958, Eurochambres represents 2,000 local chambers and a total of 19 million members. The firms that make up the association, which comprises 37 percent of the world economy, employ some 120 million workers.
