Organisation Members: EGEA, together with seven other European associations of the automotive aftermarket, is an active member of the AFCAR Alliance, the Alliance for the Freedom of Car Repair in the European Union. Its goal is to safeguard free competition in the automotive market for service, maintenance and repair and to represent independent aftermarket operators in the field of unrestricted access to technical information.
EGEA participates in the Right to Repair Campaign (R2RC). Initiated by AFCAR in 2007, this Europe-wide campaign is a major communication tool that aims at maintaining a level-playing field in the automotive aftermarket, advocating for the access to technical information, spare parts, multi-brand diagnostic tools and test equipment, and training needed to ensure quality repair and maintenance services, at affordable prices. More on www.r2rc.eu.
EGEA is also an NGO in roster consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.
EGEA is member of the FAIB - Federation of EU and international associations.
