Our staff and members greatly appreciate the added value provided by EU Issue Tracker, particularly the personal 'Alert' function. We wholeheartedly recommend this invaluable tool.
Guy Thiran
Secretary-General
Eurometaux
I've been using EU Issue Tracker for more than three years: it offers me daily updated, detailed and high quality information on the Environmental, Health & Safety issues I am following, saving me valuable time at a very fair cost/benefit ratio.
Eddy Roelants
Vice-President Technology and Environmental Policy
SIEMENS AG
The Issue Tracker saves me huge amounts of time. It's like having another member of staff. The 'past-present-future' approach is very useful too.
James Johnston
Policy Adviser
Scottish Government
Given the wide scope of issues to be covered under food policy, it is practically impossible to be always up-to-date on all issues. Issue Tracker is therefore a very useful tool! Not only does it send an alert when there is progress made on the dossiers, but it can be easily accessed whenever necessary.
Adviser on Food Policy and Customers
EuroCommerce
EU Issue Tracker is second-to-none in terms of up-to-date regulatory monitoring. The user-friendly tool delivered by EU Issue Tracker's high quality team saves time and energy but delivers what you need, when you need it.
David Coleman
Head of EU Affairs
McDonald's Europe
EU Issue Tracket is an accessible and politically intelligent tool which takes a lot of the pain out of EU monitoring. The ability to access reliable and insightful information in a simple and easy to use format is a huge time saver.
Kieran O'Keeffe
Head of European Representation
British Chambers of Commerce
I am more convinced than ever that EU Issue Tracker is indispensable for professionals in the European environmental field, such as lobbyists.
