What subscribers say:

The Issue Tracker is the best researched, most comprehensive and reliable monthly report on European regulation that I know.
Steve BaileyVice President Environment, Health and Safety Strategy and External Relations GlaxoSmithKline
Our staff and members greatly appreciate the added value provided by the Eamonn Bates EU Issue Tracker, particularly the personal 'Alert' function. We wholeheartedly recommend this invaluable tool.
Guy ThiranSecretary-GeneralEurometaux
I've been using the Eamonn Bates 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 RoelantsVice-President Technology and Environmental PolicySIEMENS 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 JohnstonPolicy AdviserScottish 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.
Noëlle VonthronAdviser on Food Policy and CustomersEuroCommerce
The EU Issue Tracker is second-to-none in terms of up-to-date regulatory monitoring. The user-friendly tool delivered by Eamonn Bates Europe’s high quality team saves time and energy but delivers what you need, when you need it.
David ColemanHead of EU AffairsMcDonald'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'KeeffeHead of European RepresentationBritish Chambers of Commerce
