The FCSI UK and Ireland withdrew from FCSI UK on January 1st, 2016 and disbanded following a dispute with EAME regional operations.

The signing of the agreement took place at the three-day EAME conference, titled ‘Food and Hospitality in the Future’ in Vienna, held by Edwards and Martin Rahmann, immediate past president of FCSI EAME.
While the trade body officially rejoined EAME, FCSI UK and Ireland has been unofficially welcomed back into the EAME for almost nine months.
