The meeting was in Wallisellen (close to Zürich), Switzerland on May 31st. 

Mr Sykora made a presentation about CTIF and opened for more future cooperation.  Possible  examples of areas where the two organizations could have deeper cooperation are  with the Commissions for Fire Prevention and Fire Investigation, the HazMat Commission and the Commission for Extrication & New Technology, especially regarding the guidelines for lithium battery storage and handling.
