Alessandro Ciccioni – president of the Biella and Vercelli Chamber of Commerce – stated that the growth within EU was strongly positive. However, it was important to highlight that the difficulty within export sector was still present outside EU, especially in those countries that traditionally were important and strong as outlet markets. Since then, the Chambers of Commerce has committed to foster the opening toward foreign markets of local companies with special attention for small and medium enterprises’ needs. Going ahead he said that currently through the ongoing Chambers’ reform, Biella should commit itself to educate companies (especially the small ones) to face internationalisation, leaving to other appointed bodies boosting activities on foreign markets, in a period in which the situations on international exchanges leave lots of issues to sort out.
