Communication activities
We have no paid staff and small budget based on $ 100 membership fee. We have a website where we publish events and papers from time to time. Businesses are not members of our organization but of respective country's own business councils. Our members are the business organisation representing EU member states and the Consuls from these states and some University professors. This limits our membership to 40-50 members
Other activities
We operate in a small country and work very well together amongst ourselves and with the local trade and foreign affairs authorities. In 2015 we opened 'Europe House' a venue provided by AUT University for EU activities. This has been a great success.
