Con la tendenza verso una maggiore globalizzazione dell’industria della disinfestazione, più accentuata nel settore alimentare e in altri settori commerciali, NPMA (Associazione nazionale americana dell’industria della disinfestazione) e CEPA (Confederazione Europea dell’industria della disinfestazione) si sono associate per presentare un summit globale alle imprese attive nel settore della disinfestazione e ai loro clienti in relazione alla gestione della salute pubblica e alle questioni sulla sicurezza alimentare.
Il primo summit globale dell’industria della disinfestazione, relativo alla salute pubblica e alla sicurezza alimentare, si è tenuto dal 3 al 5 giugno 2015 presso il Conference Centre Juan-les-Pins di Antibes, sulla Costa Azzurra. I partecipanti hanno affrontato i problemi emergenti e valutato – con i clienti e altri interlocutori – le azioni necessarie per dare una risposta alle esigenze future.
