内容简介：
【组织简介】 The International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA) is a council of leading trade associations representing chemical manufacturers worldwide.
The ICCA provides a forum for regular meetings of executives from the member associations to discuss policy issues of international interest to the chemical industry. In addition, the ICCA may make policy statements or develop programs where consensus is reached among the council's member associations. The purpose of the ICCA is to exchange views among members, to coordinate action by council members, and to present an international chemical industry view to organizations. Such organizations would primarily be inter-governmental agencies (e.g., GATT/WTO, IMO, UNEP, OECD and international private organizations (e.g., the International Standards Organization, ISO). Policy issues of international significance to the chemical manufacturing industry form the agenda of the ICCA. Such issues include health, safety, and the environment; international transport safety; intellectual property; trade policy; and, industry efforts to eliminate chemical weapons and diversion to illegal drugs. The I CCA will not deal with trade missions or business promotion activities.
ICCA promotes and co-ordinates Responsible Care and other voluntary chemical industry initiatives. Responsible Care is the registered trade/service mark which denotes the chemical industry's international and voluntary commitment to continuous improvement of performance in health, safety and environmental protection.
The ICCA meets twice yearly; One meeting includes the chief executives of the council's member associations. The second meeting includes the chief executives plus leading corporate executives from council associations, usually the elected officers of the association; ICCA meetings are hosted by council members and held at various locations throughout the world. Administrative work to support the ICCA is performed by the Council Secretary, a responsibility that moves between associate members at two-year intervals.
