International Florist Organisation (FLORINT)
EU Transparency Register
32509221211-80 First registered on 23 Feb 2009
Goals / Remit
Until 2009 the International Florist Organisation FLORINT, was named “European Federation of Professional Florists’ Associations´ (in short FEUPF). This federation was founded in 1958 in Strasbourg. The founders were a number of National Florists’ Associations that worried about the possible threads of the advancing European integration. On the other hand they saw possibilities and opportunities if they would create and intensify co-operation between their associations on the European level.
Nowadays FLORINT organises the national Florists’ Associations of 20 European countries. Membership applications of various countries, also outside Europe, are pending. FLORINT represents a small, but certainly not negligible part of European industry. About 100.000 florists generate a total turnover of more than 15 billion Euro’s; more then 350.000 people earn their living in a flower shop, of which 150.000 are paid employees.
Mission, goals, key tasks
FLORINT’s mission is to contribute to the development of the economical activities of its members and the persons involved.
The goals are
• to represent its members' interest as good as possible towards public organisa¬tions, especially the European Commission;
• to contribute to the improvement of professionalism and craftsmanship;
• to support and service the member associations individually and collectively.
This implicates that the key tasks of FLORINT are:
• Positioning the strategic interests of the floral retail industry.
FLORINT is the recognised representative body of the industry towards the European Commission and defends the interests of florists on the European level.
• Safeguarding / promoting healthy industrial development.
FLORINT organizes biannually European Competitions in floristry on a junior and senior level. Competitions being an important source of innovation and a stimulus for professional development.
