Our Public Affairs Tools

The keys to success

Monitoring: Collection, canalisation and analysis of information, e.g. talks to EU-representatives as well as basic desk research. We aim at an information headstart and the generation of Know-how in policy areas relevant to the company. Among others we therefore make use of our newsletter EU.selections and Flash-infos which deal with short term matters.

Network Monitoring: The clients are systematically informed about activities in Brussels. By participating in various events taking place in the surroundings of the EU-Institutions. EU.select provides an information headstart to its clients, places their concerns in informal discussions and therefore creates the necessary awareness for their specific problems.

Early Warning Systems: Subsequent to the Monitoring Process, individual risks and opportunities are made out at an early stage. In addition to the political level we also include scientific institutions and social interest groups.

Issue Management: Active control of company-relevant issues, i.e. politically relevant issues are identified and political actors are informed about our clients' points of view betimes.

Coalition Building: In order to enforce precisely defined interests, temporary strategic alliances are especially useful. In close coordination with the clients we contact potential partners and sound opportunities for cooperation.

Multi Level Lobbying: The member states play an important role in many EU-decision-makings (e.g. Anti-Dumping-Actions). By integrating them and systematically communicating with the Commission and Parliament as well as additional policy makers we make sure that our clients' points of view are considered.
