As we embark on the first months of 2026, political priorities in Brussels are taking clearer shape: the new EU mandate is advancing, major legislative files affecting vehicle data and competition are moving forward, and discussions on Europe’s industrial future are gaining momentum.

Against this backdrop, FIGIEFA continues to play an active and influential role in shaping these developments, which will define the environment in which the Independent Automotive Aftermarket operates.

In this edition of the newsletter, we are pleased to share key updates on the regulatory and political landscape, highlight important achievements for our sector, and provide a preview of what lies ahead for 2026.

As always, FIGIEFA remains committed to ensuring that the voice of the Independent Aftermarket is heard clearly in Brussels by defending your interests, supporting your businesses, and safeguarding a competitive mobility ecosystem for Europe.

We look forward to continuing this important work together throughout the year.
