ACTE's EMEA region joined four European travel management associations to form an advocacy group

that will "weigh in on the European debate on all subjects related, directly or indirectly, to the organization or management of corporate travel." According to the Association of Corporate Travel Executives, the network, called the European Network of Associations for Corporate Travel, will not be used for commercial purposes, but as a "joint and open platform initiative to further the industry and act as an advocacy group and a voice of reason" with European institutions. In addition to the Association of Corporate Travel Executives' Europe, Middle East and Africa region, founding members include Spain's La Asociacion de los Decisores en Viajes de Empresa, France's Association Française des Travel Managers, the Belgian Association of Travel Management and Dutch group Cortas.
