A HOST of expert speakers on the European fleet industry will give their view on the future of the market during a major conference next year.

The Fleet News Europe Conference 2005 will take place at the Brussels Marriott Hotel on February 1 next year.

Topics to be covered include taxation in Europe, transport and traffic policy, car pricing and creating a European fleet policy.

Delegates will come away with a better understanding of the latest European Union policies and how they affect the vehicle leasing and rental industries, gain the knowledge to improve their pan-European and business expansion, maximise opportunities provided by an enlarged EU and exploit networking opportunities.

Speakers will give an insight into the current thinking within the EU on taxation and will offer an insight into when barriers to trade are tackled.

Delegates at the event will also be guided through the process of establishing a fleet policy, with experts outlining the pitfalls and benefits that a well-implemented and maintained policy can have. The benefits of customer care excellence by sharing good practice will also be put under the spotlight.

Speakers will outline the different customer service expectations across Europe and being aware of the importance of local customs.
