Pressrelease från London (in english)

TAPA is a unique forum that unites global manufacturers, freight carriers, law enforcement agencies and other stakeholders with the common aim of reducing losses from international supply chains. With its FSR programme TAPA has created a qualitative standard of best practices that enables different levels of classification according to threat levels.
