| 摘要： | How can the National Franchised Dealers Association (NFDA) help ensure show-rooms are not locked down again in the event of restrictions due to Omicron? Franchised dealers have repeatedly proved they can operate in a COVID-secure way. Following the first lockdown, dealers were allowed to reopen a fortnight earlier than other 'non-essential' retailers. Since then, some of the measures implemented through the pandemic have been retained as the safety of staff and customers remains a priority. NFDA speaks to the Government regularly to ensure that business can continue as smoothly as possible in a safe manner. How is the NFDA working to make sure franchisee) dealers' concerns over the balance of power within the OEM relationship are heard? The key issue NFDA has been highlighting with the possible advent of agency models is the potential threat to competition, subsequently affecting value for consumers. In particular, in our response to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), we have outlined that preserving healthy intra-brand competition and allowing OEMs to adapt, innovate and drive efficiencies are not mutually exclusive. Recently, I met with our Australian counterparts to discuss agency agreements and their strategy. We are also liaising with our European counterparts via the Alliance of European Car Dealers and Repairers (AECDR) to assess the implications across other countries and discuss trade associations' next steps. There is a lot of work going on behind the scenes. |
