Other financial info
Der VDMA vertritt eine stark exportorientierte Branche. Europäische Gesetzgebung und Politik spielt daher für die Branche eine dominante Rolle. VDMA-Mitarbeiter bringen ihr technisches Knowhow und die Branchenexpertise vor allem im Bereich der umfangreichen europäischen technischen Gesetzgebung und europäischen Normung aktiv ein. Dadurch ergibt sich ein vergleichsweise hohes Budget für die EU-Interessenvertretung.
Der VDMA finanziert sich durch die Mitgliedsbeiträge seiner mehr als 3000 Mitglieder. -
