Public
Affairs
|
The core work carried out
by the Public Affairs team is to act as an 'early warning
system' for its Members, both in Europe and internationally,
for those issues relating directly or indirectly to sustainable
hunting and wildlife management. This is accomplished through
a combination of monitoring, communicating and promoting
public policies that ensure the voices of hunters are heard
by EU officials and policymakers.

group is made up of legal professionals who, as focal points
