Lederer: Distributors Seek Broader Influence in EU Policy
FEATURE
The European Fastener Distributors Association will be making major changes, including seeking a broader role in European Union policy, the new association president told Fastener+Fixing Magazine.
At the capital in Brussels, the EU “is making decisions that have a direct and very real impact on the European fastener distribution sector and on its customers,” Dr. Volker Lederer declared.
He cited the 2009 antidumping case on carbon-steel fasteners from China as the “obvious example.”
“Right now there is a circumvention investigation on stainless steel fasteners and the way the Commission appears to be approaching this in relation to long-established, major factories is a source of considerable concern,” Lederer told F+F editor Phil Matten.
