AALEP FORGING LINKS WITH EU LOBBYISTS IN THIRD COUNTRIES

 

European Chambers of Commerce established in third countries provide European businesses with a channel of communication and lobbying to the country's political and economic authorities as well as business associations.

Indeed, they represent the main advocacy organisation on the front lines in the third country where they are present, dealing with the host government, issuing position papers and engaging in regular business-government dialogues.

For this reason AALEP is intent on forging links with European Chambers of Commerce abroad that will allow EU-based lobbyists to network with their counterparts in emerging markets. No need to reinvent the wheel. Instead we should develop close partnerships with the lobbyists in the front lines because they understand the context and can assess more clearly the threats and opportunities.
