The International Road Transport Union (IRU), founded in Geneva on 23 March 1948, is the international organisation representing the road transport industry worldwide. More specifically, this means the commercial companies operating buses, coaches, taxis and trucks. Its Active Members are national road transport associations, which enjoy full voting rights and belong to the IRU Goods Transport Council and/or IRU Passenger Transport Council, according to their area(s) of activity. The IRU's non-voting Associate Members are drawn from industries that have close ties with road transport, including the manufacturers of commercial vehicles, fuels, information systems and tyres. The IRU currently has some 180 Members in 70 countries, across all five continents. The IRU is a democratic organisation, whose supreme body is the General Assembly, which comprises all Members. The Presidential Executive, a small group of representatives of the two Transport Councils, oversees the running of the IRU and submits policy proposals to the General Assembly. The IRU Secretariat General has its headquarters in Geneva, a location that facilitates interaction with a number of intergovernmental bodies influencing international road transport, including the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and the World Trade Organisation (WTO). The IRU also maintains a Permanent Delegation to the European Union (EU) in Brussels and another to the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) in Moscow. The IRU has Official Observer status with the United Nations and manages the TIR customs transit system on behalf of the UNECE. The IRU's priority issues can be grouped under two main headings: Facilitation of Trade, Tourism and Road Transport, and Sustainable Development. The former is concerned with removing artificial barriers to road transport, because any penalty on road transport merely results in an even greater penalty on the economy as a whole. The IRU is obliged by its Constitution to work towards the goal of Sustainable Development. It does so via its 3 "i" Strategy whereby Sustainable Development will be achieved most efficiently by a combination of Innovation, Incentives and Infrastructure. The IRUAcademy has been created to help deliver improved training and the IRU also works to strengthen road safety, both important components in Sustainable Development.

The IRT was established in 1997 upon the suggestion of the political leaders of both EU and Russia who meet annually the EU-Russia Summit. Since then, the IRT provides a platform for business dialogue and has evolved into an organisation that actively fosters discussions on bilateral economic relations. An explicit reference in the 2005 Roadmap to the Common Economic Space recognizes the IRT's advisory function on the development of EU-Russia economic relations as they evolve. On this basis, the IRT acts as a consultative forum to policy makers in the EU and Russia twice a year on the eve of EU-Russia Summits. The association's main body is the IRT Council, which gathers up to 20 business leaders for constructive discussions on EU-Russia economic relations. Each year, the IRT invites business leaders, political decision makers and other stakeholders from the EU and Russia to an annual event, where a wide range of topical business and industrial issues are debated. High level speakers have included H.E. President of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Medvedev; Günter Verheugen, Vice-President of the European Commission, responsible for enterprise and industry and Victor Khristenko, Minister for Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation. In May 2009, the Association of European Businesses has been invited by the IRT European Co-Chair, Mr. Andersen, to participate in the IRT as an observer. AEB CEO, Frank Schauff, has been designated as the IRT Council Member representing the AEB during IRT meetings, Marie Rondelez, AEB Adviser on European Affairs will be acting as his Sherpa. On 4 June 2009, the AEB participated for the first time in the IRT Council closed meeting that took place in the framework of the 13th Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum.

BUSINESSEUROPE, formerly the Union of Industrial and Employers' Confederations of Europe (UNICE), is a Brussels-based European association of industries and employers. It was founded in 1958 to drive the creation of the European Union as a free trade zone. Together with the Federation of European Employers and the European Round Table of Industrialists, BUSINESSEUROPE has been one of the principal advocates of the EU treaties prior to their negotiation, and major backers of the international European movement. It is also one of the European social partners, representing private employers at the interprofessional level. In 1958, the six countries of this first European Community were all represented by the eight founder-member federations, the BDI and BDA (Germany), the CNPF (France), Confindustria (Italy), the FEDIL (Luxembourg), the FIB (Belgium), the VNO and FKPCWV (the Netherlands). The Federation of Greek Industries was accepted as an associate member. At its début, the organisation was staffed by 7 directors and 7 employees under the supervision of a Secretary General (Ms. H.M. Claessens) and under the leadership of the first President, Léon Bekaert. There were 11 Commissions and 12 working groups, with the Headquarters based in Brussels, as is still the case. In 2007, just before its 50th birthday, the organisation changed its name into BUSINESSEUROPE, The Confederation of European Business, expressing more clearly what it does and where it does it. The basic motivation for collective action by UNICE has remained unchanged for over forty years, as can be seen from a comparison of the original mandate with the current expression of BUSINESSEUROPE's mission. The original aims included uniting the central industrial federations to foster solidarity between them; encouraging a Europe-wide competitive industrial policy; and acting as a spokesperson body to the European institutions. BUSINESSEUROPE strived for permanent liaison with official institutions, studied current problems, and co-ordinated responses, and always at a general "horizontal" level. BUSINESSEUROPE was never a sectoral organisation. The AEB enjoys a privileged relationship with BUSINESSEUROPE. In addition to constant exchange of information on the latest issues at stake for the European business in Russia, the AEB often participates in the meetings of the Russia Network Group in Brussels.
