Webinar: The EU's Evolution: What It Means for Public Affairs


February 17 
12:00 pm EST
Register

The European Union has a complex bureaucracy and set of regulations that affect U.S.-based companies.  Recent months have seen a number of important institutional changes in Brussels: a new European Parliament has been in place since July 2009; the Lisbon Treaty took effect Dec. 1, and a new European Commission - headed by returning Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso -- takes the reins on Feb. 1.  The Commission's voluntary lobbying registration is also under review. Whether you have a well-established presence in Brussels, or you’re planning to engage, this webinar will provide insights on the many changes in the EU, including:

  • The Lisbon Treaty and changes it will bring - including new EU decision-making procedures
  • The new roles of the EU President and EU Foreign Affairs Minister - what to expect from them and how they will affect policy-making
  • The new Commissioners' and European Parliament’s priorities and how they will affect 2010 policy discussions
  • The state of the voluntary lobby registry - is it working and will it become mandatory?
  • The impact on business of the “new” EU

Featuring:

Bruno Waterfield, Brussels correspondent, Daily Telegraph

Graham Meadows, director general 2003-2006, European Commission

Brad Staples, CEO, APCO Worldwide, Europe, Middle East and Africa
