  security industry

It was an engaged and very interesting discussion where all the members looked for the best solution for the private security industry where beside the electronic security man guarding and its related services is the second big segment of the Bulgarian security market.

In his short speech Bert van Langeveld introduced Euralarm as the European trade association representing the wider world of the electronic fire and security industry. He offered the support of Euralarm to the Bulgarian trade association on the way into the common European market. In addition he emphasized that the unique European Quality Mark EQM for fire and security products and services will be the key to success for a harmonized European market without trade barriers.
