What EU Australia Online is not …

EU Australia Online cannot act as an agency for public affairs or public relations; it cannot sell space to re-publish material it has not itself generated, represented as its news or commentary; it cannot make representations on behalf of clients to public officials or other persons or individuals among its news sources.

Accreditation of journalists in Brussels is contingent specifically on their engagement as news producers and EU Australia Online conforms with this requirement.

While products of this service are obtained from variable sources, as a general principle double-sourced where sources are unnamed, and facts are checked, EU Australia Online is not a research institute and does not publish its news or feature material as immutable truth or definitive conclusions on any topic.

The material provided is purely informative and non-contractual, neither styled nor intended as advice for business or financial transactions of any kind.
