Ukraine (UAIA)As the reach and influence of the Internet grows, so does interest from the politicians in ways to regulate it to protect the interest of the consumer. From data privacy acts to controls on what can be advertised and to whom, legislation can have a significant and in some cases damaging effect on any business. A vital part of IAB Europe’s remit is to ensure that our industry is protected from unnecessary and ill-informed legislation that would restrict the growth of the online advertising industry.
IAB Europe is the industry’s primary representative for the European Parliament and Commission in Brussels and we maintain a full time lobby staff. Our experienced and dedicated team follow developments that impact on the interactive marketing industry and ensure that the regulator receives the right information at the right time to inform decisions. The team has been successful in bringing together IAB Europe members to promote the benefits of the industry to key decision makers in the European Union.
As a member of IAB Europe you will benefit from up-to-the-minute briefings on current debates as well as updates on the progress of proposed legislation. You will always know the status of key debates and their potential impact on you.
Our team, led by Alain Heureux, provides:
