Our staff works full time on all EU issues with an impact on the dialog marketing industry, in particular the regime for commercial communications, e-commerce, data protection and postal affairs. Regularly they publish 'The Weekly Update', an electronic newsletter providing FEDMA’s members with up-to-date information on all EU developments concerning dialog marketing.

Working in close co-operation with FEDMA members

In order to inform members about EU initiatives, promote discussions, and establish actions, FEDMA has created the following committees and councils - Legal Affairs & Ethics Committee, Postal & Environmental Affairs Committee and the List Council. From time to time special task forces are also set up, with the aim of drafting self-regulatory codes to be approved by the Board of Directors.

If you are a FEDMA member and would like to become involved in our lobbying activities, why not join one of our Councils?
