ETO and EWFA sign membership exchange agreement

Mallorca  (April 25th, 2007) -- The European Tuning Organization (ETO) based in Bologna, Italy and the European Window Film Association (EWFA) located in Brussels, Belgium,  have today signed a Membership Exchange Agreement to promote increased cooperation between their associations and member companies.

"Working more closely together with our friends at EWFA will greatly enhance the ability of the specialty equipment industry to grow nationally and internationally,'' said Renato Gallo, ETO president.
"It is essential that we join forces with other specialty products and aftermarket associations, to be proactive regarding legislative and regulatory proposals which hamper the ability of consumers to personalize their vehicles.''  ''I am very much looking forward to our cooperation with ETO,'' said Dave Cox, EWFA president.  ''We will work together for uniform and clear regulations for the approval of tuning products."
