AALEP CHAIR TO JOIN POOL OF EXPERTS

AALEP Chair has been invited by VoteWatch Europe to join its ‘Pool of Experts’. VoteWatch Europe is a Brussels-based international non-governmental, non-partisan and independent organisation set up to provide better insight into EU politics. The analyses produced by VoteWatch are used on a daily basis by EU officials, the private stakeholders, the NGOs, the media and the academia.

DUTCH REFERENDUM ON UKRAINE

On 6 April 2016, a referendum on the approval of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement will be held in the Netherlands. This is the direct result of the Dutch Advisory Referendum Act (DAR), which entered into force on 1 July 2015. According to this Act, citizens can initiate a referendum on most laws and treaties after these have been approved by both chambers of parliament. This referendum may thus be regarded as an experiment with direct democracy giving the Dutch citizens a possibility to refute decisions taken at the political level.

WHAT DOES STRATEGIC ADVICE IN GR MEAN ?

Developing an effective government relations programme requires careful thought and planning. Understanding the legislative and regulatory landscape and considering how both affect an organisation’s finances, operations, and business /advocacy goals is essential to figuring out the right kind of government relations strategy. In order to develop a successful government relations programme, it is necessary to understand the client, his business, his goals and his concerns. The consultant will work with client to craft and implement a creative, strategic plan to advance his  goals.

AALEP ACCREDITATION: EVERYTHING YOU’VE WANTED TO KNOW
