Policies and regulations that originate in Europe have a huge impact on businesses in the UK. So it’s vital that organisations make the most of the opportunities available to them to influence European policies – particularly those that may lead to new regulations and cost their business millions of pounds to implement.

 

However, the EU can be a confusing place, with a network of interconnected institutions, its own jargon and conflicting views from the various member nations, all of whom have their own agendas.

 

Your eyes in the EU

With most legislation originating in the EU, Freshwater Public Affairs can provide you with an early warning of proposed legislation to ensure you have the opportunity to influence regulatory burdens that could otherwise cost you millions. 

 

Your voice in the EU

Freshwater Public Affairs' has had a presence in Brussels since 1991 to provide clients with a tailor-made service in the EU.  We monitor EU policy developments and provides our clients with strategic advice on influencing the EU, helping to navigate you through the EU maze.

 

Your base in the EU

Freshwater Public Affairs’ partner is based at the heart of Brussels, next to the European quarter, allowing easy access to the EU's key decision-makers and a base for when you're in Brussels.  Over the last 20 years, Freshwater has developed a network of contacts within the EU institutions and an excellent reputation for delivering the right message straight to the key people at the right time.

 

We fully understand the importance of having an integrated approach to public affairs issues between the UK and Europe.  We advise on the impact of EU legislation on UK organisations and businesses, the stance of the UK government to emerging proposals and advise on the likely timescale and manner of implementation of EU directives.
