These include organisations providing monitoring, information, research, communication and lobbying services. They have become indispensable partners of the European civil society, now recognized to include also business circles. These specialists work mainly for three categories of the 'Community of EU Actors (TM) ': EU-level trade federations (ca 3,000), direct corporate representations (ca 300), and numerous consultancies under the category Professionals. Consultancies tend to work with all EU Actors; they range from global full-service networks with an EU affairs subsidiary to individual experts.
