We have worked on several engagements in Central and Eastern Europe and havelived and traveled in the region extensively. This experience prepared us well to serve you in preparing for the enlargement of the European Union.
As you are certainly well aware, on May 1, 2004 ten new countries will join the European Union as full members, offering many promising opportunities to expand your presence in Europe and grow your business.
We participated in several seminars and workshops addressing the business opportunities offered by European Union enlargement, as well as the critical issues business need to address in anticipation of the changes enlargement will bring.
