NSSA elects its first permanent board

The assembly took place in Verona on September 24; the report is dated October 18. The alliance brings together eleven national organisations across four continents and seeks wider representation.
Editorial context
An international representative body can provide a forum for supply chains with different needs and priorities. Its membership shows who takes part in the discussion; it does not imply that every position is already shared by all market participants.
The editorial interest is therefore in the continuity of coordination and the initiatives that follow. Electing a board is an organisational step, not evidence of new mandatory standards or commercial agreements that the report does not document.
