With the New Year gradually approaching, EU Focus Group is pleased to announce yet another in a series of successful expansions of the unparalleled "Helix" network in key Member States capitals. This time, news come from the beautiful, snowy Vienna. Austria is an important Member State when it comes to REACH, agro-chemicals and biocides. Austria often shares a similar reading of the data and culture of the risk management as Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and others. Austria relies on a very good agency dealing with pesticides, AGES and has a very dynamic Ministry of Environment with a strong expertise. As leading specialist Chemical Consultancy in Europe, EU Focus Group is delighed to welcome Peter Koppl, the leading and experienced consultant on the Austrian market. Peter acted first as a journalist and industry spokesperson before jumping into consultancy. He currently chairs the Austrian Public Affairs Association. As a graduate from the Washington D.C.
