That's interesting, but the lists of organisations are in a completely unusable format, so it's pretty much impossible to find anything useful. They are 300-page PDFs with no tags (and hence no headings), no TOC and no bookmarks. The reading order is completely wrong. The text is so small you have to zoom and scroll in both directions because the documents don't reflow. It's an absolute disgrace.

There also isn't a list of sectors, so you have to know which sector you are looking for. The EAA refers to the banking sector, but the word "banking" doesn't occur at all in the list or organisations by sector. Nor do other words like "e-commerce" and "travel".

I went through the entire document and could not find any sectors relevant to the EAA. There are none for services, and the ones for electronic equipment only relate to specific factors such as radio emissions, health and safety and electronic waste. It will be interesting to see if anything changes in the next ten weeks.
