The three themes in the Manifesto are Sustainability, Innovation and Competitiveness, expressing the key developments and needs for the vending and unattended retail sector in the coming years, and are summarised as follows:

• The European Vending & Coffee Service Association (EVA) calls on the policy makers to publish consistent guidance for industry stakeholders, especially SMEs, in the implementation of already agreed on legislative acts, as well as greater enforcement of existing texts to maintain a level playing field.
• The EVA also calls for new EU legislation to reflect the realities for the vending business model, where consumers interact with machines on an unattended basis, and where generic policies are not always appropriate.
• Finally, the EVA would welcome greater funding initiatives to enable further creative sustainable solutions to be developed. This would help maintain the competitiveness for European vending companies, support the innovation and know-how of the European sector, and help drive the transition to a more connected and ever more sustainable vending and professional coffee industry, able to contribute strongly to the European Union’s own key objectives
