WHAT we do:

• Advocate for the negotiation of a new-type U.S.-EU regulatory cooperation agreement.  Recognizing that the U.S. and EU regulate proceedings from similar objectives and values, the growing interdependence of our economies now requires systematic, transparent and consistent work by U.S. and European rule-makers that fully takes into account transatlantic commercial interests.  Transatlantic Cooperation    
• Track and influence the outcome of regulatory developments in Europe which impact our member companies both in the U.S. and Europe.  Key European regulatory issues include competition policy, chemicals evaluation and registration, consumer protection rules, environment and energy policies, intellectual property and patents, the EU services market, capital markets and the European business legal environment.
• Provide access, intelligence and a means to help shape U.S. and foreign government policies in the challenging emerging economies of Eurasia, through our "Eurasia Business Platform" (EBP).  The promotion of the creation of a reliable international transit regime for goods across the vast Eurasian continent is a key component of the EBP.  Eurasia Business Platform  - AmCham Survey - EBP Update 2007 - Secure trade Mechanisms Study
