About Us | Impact Europe

Skrolla ner

Because we believe that EU cooperation is valuable - for Europe and for Sweden. The EU is Sweden's most important arena in many key policy areas. And we want to help make the Swedish voice as strong as possible and representative of Swedish society - for companies, organizations and individuals.

EU legislation sets the framework for many policy areas in Sweden. A large part of Swedish legislation originates in Brussels. Being involved in early policy formulation at EU level and then influencing national policies and EU legislative processes is crucial for many Swedish organizations, authorities and companies. We have both worked for a long time in EU politics - in the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Swedish Government Offices - and we have seen that there is room for Swedish actors to become even more visible. But it is sometimes difficult to find your way through the corridors of the EU, and the pace of legislation is high - so it is good to have a guide and advisor by your side.
