The Business Advisory Councils
The Business Advisory Councils (BAC) to SECI (launched 1997) and to the Stability Pact (launched 1999) merged in December 2002 to constitute the BAC SEE (Business Advisory Council for South Eastern Europe). It works closely with the SCSP (Special Coordinator of the Stability Pact for SEE) and targets 8 countries, candidate or candidate-to-be of the European Union (Albania, Bosnia Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, FYRoMacedonia, Moldova, Romania, Serbia & Montenegro).

The Business Advisory Council for South Eastern Europe (BAC SEE) is composed of some 40 businessmen , from 20 different countries (donor and SEE). Their role is to advise the Stability Pact operations on private business issues. They meet 4 times per year, at their own cost, in main cities of the region. Members serve as an outreach to their respective business communities. In addition to regular members, there are also associate members who represent various IFIs, international organizations and initiatives (OECD, BSEC, CEI).
A Board of 4 businessmen prepares, steers and ensures the follow up.

OBJECTIVES

The BAC for South Eastern Europe will strive to build viable partnerships between government/administration and the private sector in each country and in the region. These partnerships will enhance the efforts in promoting investment, business development, environment and employment.

One of the primary objectives of the BAC is to make South Eastern Europe an attractive place to invest. The BAC will do this by identifying specific obstacles to trade, infrastructure and investment and promoting viable strategies for removing them.

The BAC will have three primary functions:

To advise the Stability Pact, EU-Commission, IFI's and governments of the donor countries on business matters in SEE and request their intervention when necessary.
To advise governments and business communities in the recipient countries, and to ensure an effective follow-up of recommendations.
To attract investment to SEE and to increase trade with and among SEE-countries (concentrating especially on SME's), through: regional business missions, Business Support Offices, the Business Information and Clearing Center, PRO Committees, investment conferences in donor countries, country teams, and other instruments and networks.
