Political work is among the most important tasks of the EEG. In dealing with the governments of various European nations as well as parties, ministries and institutions, a cooperation that is founded on facts and trust has allowed us to raise awareness among key political decision-makers about the issues of concern for professional experts.
The EEG uses conversations and discussions both as a means to communicate its own interests and to stimulate a general exchange of information with representatives from the areas of politics and economics. As a result, the EEG also functions as a liaison for political as well as public entities ranging from Berlin to Brussels.

The EEG shows great commitment to numerous national and international committees. This includes intermediary roles during public disputes, mediation and coordination in collective bargaining and arbitration cases, or during various hearings that are dependent on expert opinions.
An independent and objective representation of interests is thus indispensable for the common good, specifically where employers or judicial institutions are concerned. Last but not least, the EEG is also responsible for the organisation and consensus building process among its own members.

Conflicts of interests are part of the daily work routine for independent experts, whose job it is to form a consistent opinion based on facts. Balancing various interests on the basis of a shared commitment is essential to the process, running like a red thread through all levels of authority.
The utmost desire of the EEG and its members lies in developing a realistic and objective solution, which should be a joint venture of our member associations, business leaders and political as well as judicial committees. The inclusion of the professional expertise of our highly qualified members is vital in this process.
