Hellenic Chambers Transport Association (EESYM)

The Hellenic Chambers Transport Association (EESYM) was established by Greek Chambers in 1995 as a non-profit organisation.

Fifty (50) Chambers of Commerce and Industry from all over Greece, along with several leading associations of road transport operators, shipping agents and hauliers, are currently EESYM members.

EESYM is managed by a Board of Directors consisting of 11 members elected every four years by the General Meeting of its members.

Key objectives:

• Exchange of experience and know-how in the sector of transports between Greek Chambers and other relevant bodies
• Assistance in integrated national efforts to develop and modernise Greek Transport Systems
• Study of specific transport matters locally, regionally, nationally and internationally
• Cooperation with national and EU authorities and other European and international organisations and bodies involved in transport

EESYM has made specific interventions and proposals to develop and modernise Greek transport systems, which were taken into account in making transport policy locally and nationally, and it has also studied several matters related to road, rail and combined transport infrastructure, port and maritime connections, and it proposed actions that became part of the National and EU priorities.
