The National Franchised Dealers Association (NFDA) met with the head of the European Commission’s Competition unit this week to discuss the current Block Exemption Regulations.

Paolo Cesarini joined NFDA member’s at the Retail Motor Industry Federation’s head office in London. The NFDA confirmed Cesarini would be working closely with the NFDA to shape what a new regulatory framework should take after 2010.

Cesarini said the NFDA will have an important role to play over the coming year as the ECC prepares its evaluation report, due for publication next year.
