Selective Dissemination of Information (SDI)

 

Upon many hundred foreign and in some cases Hungarian periodicals we conduct SDI on nearly 40 current topics concerning the agriculture of the EU, and about the 15 EU member-countries (separately), making a comparison with the agriculture of the USA, Japan and Australia.

Upon this comprehensive material our computerised database about the EU is continuously built. The recherché in this database is possible by keyword.
