What is
CICCA? 
|
|
CICCA is an organisation
comprising the world’s 18 leading cotton associations. Each member
association acts independently some as an arbitral authority and in other
ways too.
|
|
|
CICCA provides:
|
|
•
|
a forum
for joint discussion;
|
|
•
|
collective action when appropriate.
|
|
|
Mission Statement:
|
|
CICCA’s mission
is to provide a more representative and influential organisation through
which members are able to unite behind the principal of the sanctity of
contracts and good trading practice. In so doing the Committee seeks to
further develop its infrastructure to assist the Industry to prosper in an
increasingly competitive and technological environment.

|
|
Objectives
The
Committee’s principle objectives are to:
|
|
•
|
support
the enlargement of CICCA by encouraging into membership cotton organisations,
whether they are arbitration authorities or not, including Spinning Mills and
their Associations, providing such organisations adhere to the
Committee’s principles;
|
|
•
|
uphold
the standards of good trading practices and the ethic of the sanctity of
contracts;
|
|
•
|
help ensure
that dispute resolution procedures are adhered to and any consequential award
upheld;
|
|
•
|
maintain
contact with other international organisations concerned or associated with
the cotton industry, as and when may be considered appropriate;
|
|
•
|
provide
an opportunity for discussion between Member-Organisations in order to assist
the cotton trade to prosper;
|
|
•
|
circulate
to Member-Organisations a consolidated list of firms reported to have failed to
properly comply with valid arbitration awards made by Member-Organisations;
|
|
•
|
provide a
directory of firms trading in cotton, which are members of cotton
Associations elected as Member-Organisations of CICCA;
|
|
•
|
promote the value and benefits of membership of CICCA within the
Industry and with Governments.
