All off this resulted into a recent change in
Dutch legislation:
• Since 2014 the Dutch Mobile Heritage is an
integral part of our new Heritage Laws
This means no law can be made without
taking our Mobile Heritage into account!

• My aims for FIVA as Director of the Culture
Commission:
– Have a ‘Layman's Version’ of the ground-breaking, but
somewhat academic, Charter of Turin ready by the
AGM 2015
– Broaden the awareness that HV’s is more than vehicles
but encompasses a wide spectrum of material and
immaterial cultural aspects
– Re-initiate and intensify the relationship with UNESCO
in order to get the HV culture recognised.
• Provide the guidelines and support to enable local organisations
to interact with UNESCO on those items that matter to them.
