APPLiA (Home Appliance Europe)

“The Association acts as a partner in dialogue with the EU's political and regulatory institutions and also interacts with the press and media, non-governmental organisations representing a range of different interests (including consumers and environmental groups) and other interested parties. APPLiA provides a forum for the industry to reach consensus on issues of common interest such as product/process standardisation and regulatory initiatives. This consensus building role can also lead to concrete commitments or agreements within the industry that can become the basis for EU policy initiatives.”
