As the European Union continues to grow and become more influential, the need for organisations to have access to up to date information on the EU’s policy making process becomes more important. In excess of 80% of legislation, which has an impact on businesses within the 27 Member States of the Union, is now initiated and approved at EU level.

For many organisations the diverse and complex institutions of the EU are a mystery which absorbs precious time and resources. Organisations do recognise, however, the need to interact with the Council, the Commission and the Parliament. They must be able to participate in debates before policy decisions or legislation impacting on them, are made.

Our experienced GHBrussels team offers a range of services. We pride ourselves on the ‘personal touch’ as we steer our clients through the intricacies of the EU, and achieve for each of them an optimum solution. We provide support through:
