Since Poland's accession to the European Union in 2004, home businesses have gained access to 1 of the largest and most open markets in the world. Membership of the European Community not only increased the export possible of Polish companies, but above all allowed them to operate on an equal footing with another actors from associate States. For many businesses this has opened the door to dynamic improvement and fresh partnerships across Europe.
Today, nearly 80% of the rules that affect companies are being created at EU level. Therefore, the presence of Polish business in Brussels is so important, where law is created, which then translates into the regular functioning of companies. The Confederation of Leviathan was the first organization of employers from Poland to open its permanent representation in Brussels in 2001. Since then, he has actively represented the interests of Polish entrepreneurs in dialog with the EU institutions, ensuring that their voice is heard and taken into account in the improvement of policies and regulations.
As a typical of the Leviathan Confederation in Brussels, we are a bridge between Polish companies and EU institutions. all day we monitor the legislative process and analyse changes that affect business. We represent the interests of our entrepreneurs in contacts with representatives of EU institutions. We build dialog based on facts, data and real stories from the market. In these talks, we point out both the problems faced by companies, as well as good practices and examples of solutions that truly work," he says. King GrafDeputy Director-General Leviathan for European Affairs.

We want to invitation you to this engagement – this is the mission of the Confederate Leviathan for almost 25 years since our office in Brussels was established.
The mission of Leviathan is to translate concrete experiences of companies into the language of politics. We do not just want to study problems, but besides indicate solutions that work in practice. We want to show how EU membership affects the everyday life of business – not only through responsibilities, but mainly through immense opportunities.
The inspiration for this task was the talks we have in Brussels all day. We are talking to representatives of the European Commission, MEPs, social partners and manufacture organisations from all over Europe. Unfortunately, people who are behind statistic and reports are frequently not heard during these meetings. Meanwhile, they are the ones who make jobs, invest, make activities and, at the same time, benefit from the opportunities offered by Poland's EU membership," he says.
