updates and critical analyses of the activities of corporate lobby groups in Europe and beyond. We invite you to join CEO in investigating Corporate Europe and to share your findings in one of the next issues of Corporate Europe Observer. Also, we would very much appreciate to hear what you like, don't like or miss in this issue. In the future, we plan to distribute Corporate Europe Observer primarily by e-mail, to reduce costs.
