Euro Info Centre On 6th June 1998 ARR - Regional Development Agency (ARR), a subsidiary company of the communal association of the Nisa Euroregion and the District Economic Chamber (DEC) in Liberec made a Contract on Co-operation. Based on this contract, the Regional Euro Info Correspondence Centre (EIC) seated in Liberec was opened on 1st October 1998. This EIC operates as a part of the network of regional centres EIC Prague and covers the area of five districts (four of them will be included in the newly established Liberec district). Now this EIC should became the regular EIC, after signing of the Contract between the DG XXIII. and the ARR.
The advantage of our region is its neighbouring with two other countries (Germany, Poland). This neighbourhood is under the patronage of a communal association - the Nisa Euroregion which set up the ARR and EIC. ARR is also a host organisation of the regional branch of the CzechInvest Agency of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the ČR engaged in the support of foreign investments in the Czech Republic. The Liberec DEC keeps contract co-operation with the CzechTrade Agency of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the ČR engaged in the support of export. Both of these activities appropriately complement the current activity of the Liberec EIC. Over the time of its quite short existence the Liberec EIC has organised or co-organised quite a lot of activities of a broader, trans-regional character. Our activity follows from the need to improve the information flow especially for the small and medium enterprises but also for the other organisations in the North Bohemian region. Both the profit and the non-profit entities need to be acquainted with the possibilities which can be used for their growth. Thus, our activity serves not only the needs of the institutions and organisations within the Nisa Euroregion in the process of adjusting themselves and in usage of the EU standards, but also needs of potential investors and various offices to see the progress in this region. Main Activities of the EIC Liberec: Organising different seminars, workshops and conferences connected with the experience exchange for small and medium enterprises and other entities Counselling in the area of the EU policy (EU legislation, EU Internal Market etc.) Consultations to prepare the projects for SMEs Special activities focused on selected professional groups Issuing advertising materials to familiarise the EU Providing complex information services Educational impact on the business public Providing information and advertising materials Support of cross-border co-operation focusing on strengthening economical, social and cultural ties Up-to-date informing the entities involved about the EU Providing assistance within business co-operation with foreign partners
