EU Legislative Interests
FIPRA’s business focus is on the provision of advice and assistance in “public affairs” also termed “government relations”. We advise companies and non-corporate clients on how best to engage with government and public institutions on questions of policy, legislation and regulation that concern them. In Europe, much of our work is undertaken with the institutions of the European Union. Our entry on the joint European Commission and European Parliament Register relates to our work undertaken on behalf of clients in connection with the EU institutions. Specific EU legislative proposals and/or policies being followed vary according to the interests of our clients, but in the course of 2022 these have included: EU environmental policy, including the European Green Deal and Roadmap; public consultations by DG COMP on aspects of EU competition policy (mergers, anti-trust, state aid); public consultations by DG GROW, DG CNECT and DG MOVE on aspects of EU mobility and connected intelligent transport systems (C-ITS) and related data aspects; EU policies on health, wellbeing and pharmaceutical policy, including the EU Roadmap on pharmaceutical strategy; EU chemicals legislation REACH, authorisation of substances; EU trade policy, in particular EU-US (TTIP) and EU-UK negotiations for a post-Brexit EU-UK trade agreement; EU data and technology policy, including on access to data and data-sharing, and the proposed White Paper on artificial intelligence policy.
