IRU General Assembly today awarded the distinction of IRU Honorary Member to Mr Klaus Schröder for his long-standing contribution to IRU’s activities and achievements.
Geneva – The International Road Transport Union (IRU) today paid tribute to Mr Klaus Schröder (AIST, Germany), by appointing him Honorary Member of the IRU at its General Assembly, for his successful leadership of his association – Arbeitsgemeinschaft zur Förderung und Entwicklung des Internationalen Strassenverkehrs (AIST) e.V, representing the former East Germany – through the many challenges facing the industry following German reunification in 1990.
IRU President, Janusz Lacny, said, “the IRU Presidential Executive and all the IRU Members recognise all that he has done for the IRU, its national Member Associations and their members, the transport operators. We sincerely thank Mr Schröder for the contribution he has made to national and international road transport throughout his career and for his commitment to the work of the IRU over more than two decades.”
Appointed Vice President of the IRU Commission on Customs Affairs (CAD) in 1992, Klaus Schröder subsequently became CAD President in 1996 – a post which he held for 12 years.
Mr Schröder led the CAD at a time when the events and challenges affecting the road transport industry in general, and the TIR System in particular, were tremendous.
Those who took part in the CAD will recall his dynamic and indefatigable leadership and his unfailing defence of the IRU and the TIR System.
