New Chairperson at ESPO

BRUSSELS. Since the beginning of this year, Annaleena Mäkilä has been the new chairperson of the European Sea Ports Organisation (ESPO). Following a classic career in law, the Finnish woman took over the chair of the Finnish Port Association in 2012, which she still holds today. This means that she also has the best qualifications for representing the interests of the quite diverse range of European seaports in the European Union.
