|
The Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce
() is the national organisation of the 83 German chambers of industry and
commerce. All German companies in the country are by law members of the
chambers of industry and commerce, with the exception of craft and trade
enterprises, the independent professions and agricultural operations.
The chambers represent the
interests of regional businesses in dealing with the municipalities, the states
and the regional government authorities.
The Association of German
Chambers of Industry and Commerce represents the interests of commercial
industry at the federal level and also before the European Commission in
Brussels. It maintains a global network of more than 59 German chambers of
commerce in foreign countries and representatives of German business and
industry who promote German foreign trade and German investments abroad.
