What
is CICCA?
|
|
|
CICCA is an organisation comprising the world’s 17 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. |
