FLORINT organizes 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 than 350.000 people earn their living in a flower shop, of which 150.000 are paid employees. FLORINT’s mission is to contribute to the development of the economical prosperity of its members and the people involved in their business. The goals are to represent members' interests as well as possible towards public organisations, especially the European Commission; to contribute to the improvement of professionalism and craftsmanship; and to support and service the member associations individually and collectively.
