VERENIGING DE NEDERLANDSE DAGBLADPERS
Dutch Publishers Association
The Nederlands Uitgeversverbond (NUV) represents the collective interests of all affiliated publishing companies throughout the Netherlands: publishers of books, newspapers, magazines and of electronic media. The Dutch Newspaper Publishers Association (NDP) provides an optimum representation of the specific interests of newspaper publishers within the NUV.
In order to preserve the individual culture, specific interests and separate activities of the various publishing groups, the NUV unites groups which already have their own secretaries. The Association attaches great importance to maintaining the specific identities and activities of these groups. Its key objective is to combine and integrate the collective knowledge and experience of all the affiliated groups into a single association and then to channel this collective know-how to its members.
The 250 members of NUV employ more than 23,000 staff and have a combined turnover of 3.6 billion euro. To help its members respond effectively to a rapidly changing market, the NUV has a secretariat staffed by specialists who can support both the collective interests of members and their individual requirements.
The Legal and Economic Affairs secretariat represents members' collective interests in the field of copyright, company law and deals with a broad range of related economic aspects and problems. Queries from individual members concerning legal, copyright and socio-legal matters are handled by the Legal Services Foundation, which works in close consultation with three highly reputable law firms.
