Mission & Goals
The Association of European Businesses is the main representative body of foreign investors in Russia. Founded in 1995, the AEB is an independent non-profit organisation of over 380 European and Russian companies. The AEB members are multinational corporations and small and medium-sized enterprises. The mission of the AEB is to support EU companies during the ongoing crisis and to keep channels of communication open in order to address the concerns of foreign investors. The AEB includes more than 80 committees, subcommittees and working groups that are engaged in lobbying on a wide range of issues in various business areas including energy, transport and customs, agriculture, air travel, passenger cars and commercial vehicles production, legislation, taxation, banking, real estate, crop protection products and many others. These committees work closely with the European and Russian authorities to advocate key issues and interests of EU companies working in Russia.
