(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 23 - TAP and ANSA have signed a collaboration accord which envisages the possibility for the partners of utilizing their respective news and information services for editorial use and for developing joint commercial offerings in support of the communication of institutions and businesses in the respective countries.

    TAP's President and Director-General Najeh Missaoui expressed satisfaction with the accord that has been reached: "We are happy to have signed today a new collaboration accord with ANSA, with which we entertain historic relations. This accord will enable us to further pursue and to strengthen the ties of collaboration and friendship between the two parties and to exchange experiences and know-how in the field of news agencies, which is undergoing a very rapid development in light of technological progress, which profoundly affects the practice of modern journalism".
