Hot Topics

The Enterprise Europe Yorkshire team has put together a series of Fact Sheets on a variety of topics which we believe are of potential interest to local firms. 

Some of these sheets summarise EU legislation in a particular field (for example Health & Safety) whereas others explain specific issues or pieces of law with an impact on business (for example the latest legislation on chemicals called REACH).

If you would like to find out more, or if you have suggestions for other "hot topics" where you would like to have information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
