In June 2006, we signed an agreement for legal advice of NVA and its members to support their activity. Cooperation with lawyer is carried out in the following fields of concern:

1.   counseling of the Association members on the issues of legal regulation of vending activities;
2.   providing NVA with information relating to the current legislation and changes in the effective RF law regulating automatic vending, comments, recommendations and guidelines in the said field;
3.   study and analysis of arbitration and administrative (taxation) practices relevant to settlement of disputed issues in vending;
4.   analysis of the necessity and grounds for creation of draft regulatory and legal acts targeted at governing complex relationship in vending.

Recently, we have seen more active exchange of experience among the Association members in various fields of automatic vending business. The Committee on legislation on hygiene and safe food and Committee on mechanical vending machines have been formed.

In 2010 and 2011 market study of vending ingredients and cups was carried out. The studies are aimed at obtaining reliable information about the market and defining of its trends and developments based on results of ongoing yearly monitoring.

NVA supports and promotes the specialized exhibition EEVEX (East-European Vending Exhibition) to be held November 23 – 25 in the Exhibition Complex Crocus Expo, Moscow. This event is to boost vending in Russia and encourage development of our common mission.

Celebration of NVA’s 5 year anniversary was taken place during the exhibition EEVEX-2010.

• create and extend its information outreach through use of the Internet.

• attract attention of banks, investment, leasing and insurance companies to NVA’s activity and vending industry to allow faster development of the industry owing to their contribution.
