The IHK Saarland is with its about 59.000 members active in the industry, trade
 and service sector, an averaged sized chamber compared to the other 
chambers in Germany. Similar as it is in France, the membership and 
parts of the performed duties by the IHK are defined by law. Included to
 its main responsibilities are the sovereign tasks assigned by the state
 to the chambers such as the issuing of certificates of origin and 
voluntary activities such as: apprenticeships and education, local 
policy lobbying, foreign trade and business competition. Aside from 
these activities, the IHK performs other voluntary services for the 
interest of their member companies. For instance, offering courses in 
how to start-up a business or other technical seminars in various 
fields. Another devoted service of the chamber is to provide necessary 
and accurate information to all related issues for the economical 
success of its member companies. Furthermore the IHK supports a 
pro-business lobby and represents the interests of its members against 
regional and local institutions.
