Some dealers have told us that they have no intention of signing up. Other Dealers would like to sign up but do not want to pay the joining fee. It is possible that any dealer, particularly the more recently established ones, may agree to the Salvo Code but still buy items that are questionable. To a great extent, avoidance of such items comes from years of trading experience and good procedures. There are now Salvo Code dealers in Canada, England, France, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.
Problems exist between countries with respect to existing consumer protection and ownership laws.
However, we do not think that anything contained in our Code is contentious in this respect. We plan to visit all the businesses listed to ensure that they are carrying out the procedures, and are aware of their responsibilities. We also intend to establish local monitoring groups. However we cannot vouch for Salvo Code Dealers nor their stock. We simply wish to encourage sensible working practices.
