Lobbying

Only by being present in Brussels on a permanent basis can you be certain of maintaining regular contacts with the many European stakeholders.
However, not all companies and associations with a European concern can afford to have a permanent staff member or office in the capital of Europe to defend their interests.

What Squaris can do for you

Advice on strategy for using influence and on institutional communication:

• Drafting arguments, statement of views and proposals for amendments for the attention of decision-makers - in line with your objectives and adapted to your interlocutors: Community Institutions, in particular the European Parliament and its deputies, permanent representations of the Member States, associations or federations with converging interests...
• Initiating contacts and introduction to the various people involved in the decision-making processes
• Organisation of consultation meetings, debates or interactive fora
• Presentation and defence of your interests at events related to your activities (conferences, working parties, parliamentary committees), contacts with the press, etc.
• Development of the required means of communication

Our trump cards

• A strategic location in the heart of the European quarter
• Permanent contacts with the representatives of the various Institutions or other European organisations

Your strategic lead

Carefully planned lobbying helps your chosen interlocutors to discern your specific concerns: You will save time and it could help you to avoid many regulatory and/or commercial stumbling blocks.
