: "This presents an important opportunity for the industry to move forward. The ECA has consistently said that a collaborative way forward is the only way to deliver sustainable change.
"Now the HVCA has withdrawn BESNA, we look forward to working with our industry colleagues to find a solution that works for the entire sector. This is the only approach that makes sense if we are to deliver lasting change for the sector as a whole; something the ECA, along with our colleagues from the other trade associations, is committed to achieving."
