The FAEP and ENPA (European Newspaper Publishers Association) Secretariats moved into a shared office space in the last weeks of December, aiming to both save on costs and to generate synergies in the daily lobby work.
The new offices, situated within walking distance of the EU Institutions, will allow for decreased operating costs, with joint overheads and shared meeting, IT and storage facilities at the same time as maintaining the separate identities of each organisation.
Secretariat staffs are mere meters away from each other and information sharing as well as joint lobbying activities will be intensified. More regular meetings on dossiers of mutual concern will take place, hopefully leading to better lobby impact on the EU decision-makers.
FAEP President, David J. Hanger, lauded the move stating that he believed “such a venture was logical and timely, and will lead to a new dimension for publishers’ lobbying success”.
ENPA President, Valdo Lehari Jr. welcomed the move as a “very positive step in the direction of having a more coordinated Press voice in Brussels, all the more necessary in these times of regulatory and economic uncertainty”.
