EU Representation and Monitoring

Support and advice is given in creating an EU presence and in aiming to achieve an optimal position with respect to the EU institutions and organisations. This includes staff training in the field of EU Lobbying. We also offer to carry out representational duties in Brussels, and are prepared to provide the necessary infrastructure.

Monitoring is the continuous observation and research of developments, decisions, topics and programmes which are relevant for an organization or company. This includes providing and processing information and documents, as well as identifying communication channels and organizational structures. Through identifying relevant topics and issues at an early stage, the continuous monitoring system provides the ability to serve as an early-warning system.

Political and business intelligence is an integral part of our activities. We offer an informed, value-added and tailored service. The business intelligence gained is invaluable, helping to guide business strategies, shape key messages and deliver the quantitative and qualitative measures that our clients value
We rely on integrated EU Lobbying, which means that the three most important EU institutions - the Parliament, the Commission and the Council - get drawn into the strategic planning. This also includes the national perspective of each member state whose interests are represented by the Council.

Networking is the support given in the establishment of contacts to the decision makers in politics, media and civil society. In addition, advice is given on the expansion and maintenance of individual contact networks.

Studies and analysis in the area of European affairs and corporate strategy are made either thematically, problem-orientated or according to the decision process, fitted to the given situation. The aim is to generate suitable knowledge which can be utilized accordingly.

Every economic and political process in any country in the Region is clearly inextricable from the enlargement dynamics of the European Union overall. Four primary steps are now under observation by all affected parties:

■ Privileged relationship with EU neighbours

■ Preparation for the membership

■ Accession period

■ Post-Accession period

Strategy consulting

Strategy consulting provides an analysis of the relevant framework conditions, players and vested interests within the political field. The aim is to outline the decision range and derive various decision options. In order to implement a possible decision alternative it is important to have a good level of communication and coordination with relevant partners and contacts.
