2 . THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS INCLUDE AMONG THEIR MEMBERS ALL THE MOTOR VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS WITHIN THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNTRIES . IN CERTAIN CASES ASSEMBLERS AND IMPORTERS ARE ALSO REPRESENTED . ASSOCIATIONS REPRESENTING MANUFACTURERS AND ASSEMBLERS ARE ADMITTED TO FULL MEMBERSHIP . THOSE REPRESENTING ONLY IMPORTERS MAY BELONG TO BPICA ONLY IF THEIR COUNTRY HAS NO ASSOCIATION REPRESENTING MANUFACTURERS AND ASSEMBLERS ; BUT THEY WILL ONLY BE ASSOCIATE MEMBERS OF BPICA , UNLESS THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY DECIDES TO ADMIT THEM , AT THEIR OWN REQUEST , AS FULL MEMBERS . ASSOCIATIONS REPRESENTING MANUFACTURERS AND ASSEMBLERS WHO FEEL THAT BPICA DOES NOT REALLY CONCERN THEM DIRECTLY , FOR EXAMPLE BECAUSE OF THEIR GEOGRAPHICAL DISTANCE , MAY , IF THEY SO REQUEST , BE ADMITTED AS CORRESPONDENT MEMBERS . ONLY ONE ASSOCIATION PER COUNTRY IS ADMITTED . FULL MEMBERS EACH HAVE ONE VOTE . ASSOCIATE MEMBERS HAVE NO MORE THAN A CONSULTATIVE FUNCTION , THOUGH THEY MAY VOTE ON RESOLUTIONS CONCERNING EXHIBITIONS ORGANIZED IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY . APPLICATIONS FOR ADMISSION TO MEMBERSHIP ARE BROUGHT BEFORE THE ASSEMBLY , WHICH DECIDES BY A MAJORITY OF TWO-THIRDS OF THE VOTES OF THE FULL MEMBERS ( 1 ).
3 . THE PRINCIPAL OBJECTS OF BPICA , AS SET OUT IN ITS STATUTES , ARE :
- TO COLLECT AND CIRCULATE AMONG MEMBERS ALL INFORMATION ON MATTERS OF COMMON INTEREST IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MOTOR INDUSTRY AND TO PROMOTE JOINT STUDIES ON SUCH MATTERS ,
- TO WORK OUT THE MOST APPROPRIATE LINE OF CONDUCT IN RELATION TO SUCH MATTERS AND TO ADDRESS RECOMMENDATIONS TO MEMBERS ,
- TO REPRESENT AND DEFEND THE INTERESTS OF THE MOTOR INDUSTRY ON ALL OCCASIONS AND BEFORE ALL BODIES WHERE JOINT ACTION IS FELT TO BE APPROPRIATE ,
- TO REGULATE THE DISPLAY OF MOTOR VEHICLES AT SHOWS AND EXHIBITIONS , IN ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATIONS APPROVED BY THE ASSEMBLY .
THE APPLICATION FOR NEGATIVE CLEARANCE AND NOTIFICATION PRESENTED BY BPICA RELATES TO THE LAST OF THESE OBJECTS AND TO THE REGULATIONS ADOPTED IN PURSUANCE THEREOF . THE PRESENT PROCEEDING IS WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO ANY ASSESSMENT WHICH THE COMMISSION MAY MAKE WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF EEC RULES ON COMPETITION , OF ANY MEASURES TAKEN OR ARRANGEMENTS MADE BY BPICA FOR THE PURPOSE OF ACHIEVING THE OBJECTIVES SET OUT IN ITS STATUTES .
