European Primary Care Cardiovascular Society

The European Primary Care Cardiovascular Society (EPCCS) aims to provide a focus of support, education, research, and policy on issues relating to cardiovascular disease within primary care settings. It is a Wonca Europe Special Interest Group (WESIG) directed at those working within primary care; aiming to 'utilise the considerable evidence base that currently exists and to contribute to extending the evidence base where appropriate.' EPCCS. EPCCS. Accessed 3 September 2009. The society was founded in 2000.
==Background==
The EPCCS recognises that cardiovascular disease is the single most important disease presenting to primary care physicians in Europe: it is the number one cause of death through myocardial infarction and stroke, the commonest cause of premature death (before the age of 65) and the major cause of disability. As a result, cardiovascular disease is costly to care systems in Europe. The society aims to educate health care providers on the issue by organising symposia and conferences.
==Structure==
The EPCCS board consists of a Pan-European Working Group

The society promotes its annual meeting as 'an attractive marketing opportunity for our industry partners active in healthcare management.' EPCCS. EPCCS: Sponsoring Opportunities.

All are aimed to improve the attendance and the educational quality of the meeting, such as:

The EPA declares three staff in the European Transparency register. Their entry notes that 'Three individuals serve EPA. None of the three are employees or receive any compensation for the work that they do for the Association.'European Transparency Register European Privacy Association. Accessed 12 July 2014.

European Security Advocacy Group

The European Security Advocacy Group (ESAG) is, according to its now defunct website:
"A group organized after 9/11 in the belief that terrorism is a constant and growing threat. More recent attacks in Madrid and Amsterdam have reinforced the need for our work."
ESAG is a private, non-profit foundation which is under Dutch jurisdiction. The aim of the organisation is raise awareness about the effects of terrorism in Europe. In order to do this, ESAG places adverts in newspapers, magazines and on TV. 
In 2004, the Mass Media Authority (MMA) queried the planned showing of ESAG adverts on two Norwegian television stations. The MMA, after viewing ESAG newspaper ads, believed that the TV ads may contain political messages, and if so, this would go against present regulations.
