Goals / Remit
The European Public Affairs Consultancies Association (EPACA) is the representative trade body for public affairs consultancies working with EU institutions.
It was launched at a General Assembly on 28 January 2005, following a process of consultation among all signatories of a professional Code of Conduct. This Code had been informally maintained by these consultancies for 12 years, and is the basis for all such codes in the EU affairs marketplace.
The association establishes formal self-regulatory arrangements, including a Professional Practice Panel for disciplinary hearings. EPACA represents a high proportion of the professional Public Affairs services providers in the EU market place.Main EU files targeted
Since its creation, with the implementation of its Code of Conduct supported by a Professional Practice Panel, EPACA has been an active champion of transparency. Our representation effort is focused on liaising with the Commission, the Parliament, and other stakeholders on the issue of the European Transparency Initiative.
