Mission & Goals
The UECC promotes economic development in its area of interest in the broadest sense. It concentrates its activities on European Transport Policy of the waterways, land and air as well as other related issues, such as the rules of the market, regulations, environment and telecommunications. It advocates free access to all ways of transport, the principle of free choice of the means of transportation and a market-oriented regulation of demand and supply of transport services. It mainly deals with questions related to the whole of its area of interest or to strategically important parts of the European network. In doing so it uses its advantages of direct access to the expertise of regional and local chambers of commerce and its links on the European level. The UECC cooperates with other associations that are active on an European level. The operational work is done by the Chambers of Commerce in Vienna, Basel and Luxembourg.
