ESTA – EU Advocacy files 

ESTA has her own representation in Brussels to communicate with the EU Commission, the European Parliament members and the officials from the relevant ministries such as DG Move.

In order not to spread our efforts too thinly and to lobby as effectively as possible, we have classified a number of dossiers as most important for ESTA.

We follow these in detail and we try to exert our influence whenever an opportunity to do so arises in these dossiers.

A summary of these dossiers you will find here below:

• Revision of the directive 96/53/EC on  ‘Weights and Dimensions’.
