In comparison with the previous year there was also one of the main novelties, which is about intensifying cooperation through the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between WELMEC and EURAMET - the regional metrology organization of Europe, as two key European organizations that lead the legal and scientific metrology community, with a long history of mutually beneficial cooperation.
