In addition, he touched on the role of VOSZ as an interest representative, since there are many of its members who are active in the field of commerce. He also mentioned that the organization is undergoing a transformation and is constantly expanding as a result of recent reviews.

In his speech, he turned back to the long-term effects of the coronavirus and the recent inflation and energy crises, which can also be felt in the field of trade; factors causing problems in supply chains, production and supply. As president, he promised that the protection of the interests of the commercial sector will continue to be one of VOSZ’s primary missions.
