eamonn bates europe is a public affairs consultancy specialising in the political process of the European Union (EU) and providing services to corporations, industry associations and public authorities.

Good public affairs practice is grounded in high quality information. eamonn bates europe has an extensive network of contacts in and around the EU institutions in Brussels and beyond. This network and an excellent professional reputation facilitate our issue research and information collection for clients. The same attributes also help when a client's goal is communication — getting the right message to the right people at the right time in the most appropriate manner.

eamonn bates europe has particularly extensive experience in what we call the "protection policy" areas of the EU (such as environment, occupational health and safety, public health, and consumer protection). Many years of EU public affairs practice enable us, however, to be effective in a range of other policy fields as well.

Our high-end, bespoke strategy and advocacy services, conceived and executed for each client at Director level, are perhaps the best available today.

In parallel, for customers with ongoing needs who are looking to maximise their effectiveness within budget constraints, our firm is highly innovative in developing information and issue-management solutions that leverage technology to enable you to achieve highly effective issue management while at the same time reducing costs.

eamonn bates europe is also a leading provider of early-warning regulatory intelligence services available on subscription basis. In the environment field, our issue tracker ENVIRONMENT has established itself as the essential regulatory affairs management tool by corporate public affairs officers and is coveted by policy-making officials themselves as a way to know what's happening elsewhere within their institutions. Similar services in other policy areas such as food safety and occupational health and safety are also available.
