§ Mr. VazAs stated in my previous reply, the EIPA supports the practical management of European integration through the provision of training, applied research and consultancy at a European level. The EIPA provides training, research and consultancy services for national and local governments to assist them in the implementation of EU legislation and guidance. Courses are either issue-specific (covering such issues as implementing better procurement practices or internal market legislation) or generic (for example, examining the European legislative process). Courses are practical and do not include political education.
