In this section you can find the contact details of the European Commission, the EMAS Helpdesk and the EMAS Clubs, the Competent Bodies, the Ministerial Representatives and the Accreditation and Licensing Bodies per country.
Helpdesk
The EMAS Helpdesk was created to handle more complex enquiries, beyond the scope of the standard information available here on the website. It is accessible to all interested parties within and outside the EU and the EEA such as companies, public authorities, environmental groups, academic researchers, trade unions and the general public. In addition, the Helpdesk supports the effective collection and listing of data concerning all organisations participating in EMAS and all accredited environmental verifiers.
We aim to answer all your questions about EMAS directly and quickly, or direct you to information sources which can help.
However, we recommend that you have a look at the FAQ section before contacting the Helpdesk. Also, for all questions concerning registration, we advise you to contact your national Competent Body directly.
We welcome enquiries, comments and input in English, French or German by any of the following methods.
The EMAS Helpdesk is operated by adelphi in cooperation with Club EMAS Catalonia, 21 Solutions and Environment Agency Austria on behalf of the European Commission, Environment DG.
