Phare horizons
Article Abstract:
There are grants and contracts available for United Kingdom companies that provide expertise in eastern Europe. The British Know-How Fund (KHF) is the UK program for technical aid for the former Soviet Union and eastern and central Europe. Te KHF is reportedly unbureaucratic and helpful. The European Union (EU) Phare program also provides help for eastern Europe, and the EU Technical Assistance to the Commonwealth of Independent States (TACIS) program also benefits from EU funding.

Setting your sights on Europe
Article Abstract:
The UK Dept of Trade and Industry's new Market Explorer scheme is designed to encourage small and medium-sized companies to consider exporting to the more accessible markets in western Europe, such as Scandinavia and Ireland. Participating companies will be eligible for advice from experienced Export Development Counsellors and for a subsidized mini-trade mission. It is hope that the scheme will attract 1,000 small and medium-sized concerns within 12 months.
