News from Brussels - NIKKEN joins FEDSA

Two new companies joined the European Federation of Direct Selling Associations this week. One of them was telecommunications company ACN and the other one is NIKKEN.

FEDSA is a lobbying organisation in Brussels with one aim: to protect the interests of the direct selling industry in the European political arena. The members really consist of the national DSA's, but big, international companies such as NIKKEN can also join as corporate members in order to get a first-hand view of what is happening in the industry, and also in order to contribute both financially and with direct engagement in the different issues.

Of course, we were courted by many of the DSA's that we have not joined yet. We are already members in the UK, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Russia and Turkey, and applying in France as well as with the German UV-DV. But they all want us ....

It will be interesting to follow some of the issues that are currently on the table. More on that later.
