| The Real Estate Council of The Netherlands (Raad voor Onroerende Zaken, ROZ, established in 1934) is the umbrella organisation for the property interests of national associations of institutional investors, private investors, developers, notaries, brokers, social housing and home owners. Nowadays it mainly focuses on the ownership of property and related activities such as property financing, development, management and sales. |

| ROZ acts as an "umbrella of the umbrellas" with particular responsibility for the representation of collective Dutch property interests at EU level through its membership of EPF. Lobbying. ROZ acts as a platform where member organisations exchange information about major political developments and lobbying processes. At all meetings, a central item is discussion of European affairs as presented by EPF, deciding on EU priorities and planning and organising EU-related action at national level. Members' services. Permanent national and European monitoring and lobbying; rental contract frameworks. |
||
| ORGANISATION | ||
| The Executive Committee consists of two members and a secretarial function. If and when required, committees are set up consisting of representatives of interested members or even from outside the ROZ membership. These ad hoc committees are in place for the time of the lobbying process. |

| PUBLICATIONS | ||
| Regular publications are the ROZ rental contract frameworks, which can be downloaded from www.roz.nl for free. A committee of lawyers are keeping the rental frameworks up to date because of changes in the legislation or decisions by the courts. On member request, ROZ also publishes topics of national interest such as anticipating the impact of the IAS/IFRS in 2003 and an in depth study on the effects of eventual changes in the tax deductable interest of mortgages on private homes in 2005. At the moment the discussion about sustainability is one of the key issues, as one can imagine. ROZ regularly contributes internationally to EPF publications such as the report on healthy buildings. |
