In its 19 years of existence, The Aegis Group has effectively represented clients on a variety of issues.   In a bold and innovative manner, The Aegis Group has dared to go where others could not possibly imagine.  Below is a modest list of some of the successes enjoyed by clients.

  • Defeated the U.S. State Department's efforts, on two occasions, to grant a Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) petition for Goya cheese filed by the Hungarian Government.
  • Launched a U.S. General Accounting Office Report on the GSP program.  The report was the first review of the program in 10 years.  The report was used by the U.S. Congress to make significant changes to the GSP program.
  • Secured passage of legislation which protected efficient passage at land borders threatened by onerous provisions contained in Section 110 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996.
  • Developed the U.S.-Canadian Caucus of Mayors (USCCOM) - the first non-profit international organization to provide a platform for mayors from both sides of the border to work together for the mutual benefit of their local communities.
  • Launched a U.S. General Accounting Office investigation on State Trading Enterprises (STEs) and their unfair trading practices distorting international and domestic markets in a variety of commodity markets.
  • Prevented passage of state legislation with respect to the Washington State Ferry System which would have prohibited aspects of client’s operations. Sponsors agreed to address client’s interests in future legislation.
  • Provided testimony to the European Parliament's Committee on Agricultural and Rural Development
  • Attended all ministerial meetings of the WTO and petitioned GATT negotiators.
  • Staged a gathering of dairy industry leaders and media personalities to high- light client’s concerns. The Roundtable resulted in several favorable articles and editorials and a change in U.S. dairy trade policy.
  • Created, within 3 months, an exchange program endorsed by an international chamber of commerce and obtained visas to permit employment/training for foreign personnel.
