Following on from a successful delegation visit of Austrian representatives in September, on 10 October, IAB Europe facilitated meetings of its Czech national association, SPIR, with MEPs from the Czech Republic. The SPIR delegation was led by Jana Breska, Public Policy Manager at SPIR. She was joined by Vladan Ramis, representing MAFRA, a Czech media group, and Agata Nowacka, who represents Seznam.cz, the largest search engine in the Czech Republic. Throughout the day, the delegation met with MEP Tomas Zdechovsky and MEP Michaela Sojdrova of the EPP group, as well as the Assistants of MEPs Dita Charanzova (ALDE) and Evzen Tosenovsky (ECR). The meetings were focused on the ePrivacy Regulation and its impact on the Czech online advertising and media industries.
IAB Europe continues to support national IABs with their own advocacy outreach to governments, providing information and materials, whilst also travelling to Member States to attend meetings with national governments and present at conferences relevant to the industry.
