Goals / Remit
The American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) was founded in 1993 in Bratislava as an independent and self-supporting organization, entirely dependant on contributions from its members. Today, it serves as one of the most active foreign Chambers of Commerce in Slovakia. Currently, its membership has reached more than 300 international and Slovak companies, including many of the largest and important firms in Slovakia. Of this amount, approximately 23 % are American companies, about 42 % are Slovak companies and about 35 % are other nationalities. AmCham Slovakia has frequently shown that it is dedicated to serving its members through the support of its three main pillars: contacts, information and advocacy.

Communication activities
AmCham Committees, Working Groups and Task Forces focus their activities on monitoring and evaluating the legislative and business environment in the Slovak Republic. Many of their activities involve commenting on and proposing changes to drafts of legislation prepared by the government. Sometimes the Committees or Task Forces cooperate directly with the Slovak government on drafting new legislation. They try to supply AmCham member companies with useful information and advice in a particular area. In order to share ideas and strategies for dealing with common business-related concerns, some committees actively cooperate with other AmChams in the region.
Following is a brief description of AmCham Slovakia's working standing committees:
•Civil Code Task Force
•Committee on Business-Academic Cooperation
•Digital Committee
•Employment and Social Affairs Committee
•Energy Committee
•Health Care Committee
•Public Procurement Task Force
•Rule of Law Initiative
•Tax CommitteeOther activities

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
