Anis Megdiche, President of AFEL:
“If the ability to carry out analyses on national soil were to disappear under the pressure of unregulated competition, the French excellence developed over decades would be wiped out”, warns Anis Megdiche, President of AFEL. “As elsewhere, our markets are evolving, but we are convinced that technological advances and organizational and structural thinking are the most appropriate responses for preserving our competitiveness.”
