UK Government Representation

MVDA is the route by which UK Government hears the views of members, and is the body to which Government turns when in need of answers. As a result of being consulted by Government departments such as the BIS, DEFRA, DVLA, DFT, EA/ SEPA and the Home Office, MVDA has been able to present a practical focus to the legislators concerns. MVDA represent professional businesses, who recognise their responsibilities, & will not try to defend the indefensible. But we work hard to ensure that our members interests are protected

European Representation

The major legislative changes that affect our businesses today are the result of European Directives and through the MVDA’s membership of EGARA (European Group of Automotive Recycling Associations) we are able to provide input both at the European Commission level and at European Parliament level. This input is vital to both the future of our industry & your business
