About NVG (English)

The Netherlands Wholesale and International Trade Federation (NVG) is an umbrella organization of entrepreneurs, whose object is the safeguarding of the economic and social interests of the Dutch wholesale trade. This is achieved by contacts with the Cabinet Council, Parliament, ministries, central employers' organizations, trade unions and the European Commission.

About 40 branch associations in the field of capital goods, semi-finished products, food and non-food products.

NVG collects and interpret economic, political, commercial and social information about subjects which may affect the wholesale trade now and in the future. These analyses result in (management) advice and reports to the Committees and/or affiliated organizations. Also lobbying with (trans)national authorities and parliaments is an important part of  the activities. 

The Bureau (6 employees) is the initiating, advisory, executive and organizing organ for the Committee of the NVG and the members.
