EU Public Consultations: A Strategic Advantage for Businesses

EU public consultations are a crucial strategic tool for businesses, extending beyond a mere bureaucratic process. Through these consultations, companies can anticipate future EU policies and regulations, influence their formation, and adapt proactively to changes. The consultations encompass draft legislation, impact assessments, and questionnaires, providing access to early information. Examples such as new environmental standards, data protection regulations, and food labeling requirements demonstrate how early participation in consultations can help businesses adjust, innovate, and maintain competitiveness. Engaging in these consultations allows businesses to shape future support measures that will follow the adoption of new policies.
