A BCD is an executive office of member national
business organizations in close connection with
other member organizations of UBCCE created to
assist member enterprises all over the Region. The
project involves a mutual commitment between each
member organization of the Union. Each national
organization puts at the disposition of the project

organizations was expressed for closer cooperation
