Our aim is to group these retailers in Europe and to defend and further their interests. We represent nearly 7,000 companies, which employ approximately 17,500 people in Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
Furthermore, ETRA has a large number of associated members in 7 EU member states (Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Germany, the Netherlands, UK and Sweden) as well as in countries outside the EU, i.e. Canada, Korea, New Zealand, Switzerland, Taiwan and USA. These are international companies/organisations active in the twowheel field who believe in ETRA’s work and who have therefore chosen to support that work through their membership.
The objective of this website is to inform independent twowheel retailers on European affairs, which directly or indirectly concern their businesses. However, the information provided on the following pages will without a doubt also be useful to anybody who has to do with the European twowheel business.
We wish to develop this website into a dynamic means of communication. We want to find out which European affairs are keeping independent twowheel retailers busy. Therefore, at the end of every news item, you will find a form by means of which you can easily mail us your comments.
