New report shows urgent need to rescue EU's ineffective lobby register | Corporate Europe Observatory:

 The European Commission and European Parliament's joint lobby register turns two years old this week, and a new report by the Alliance for Lobbying Transparency and Ethics Regulation (ALTER-EU) shows that the voluntary register is still failing to get a sufficient share of lobbyists to register and remains packed with unreliable and incomplete data. ALTER-EU calls on the Commission and Parliament to use the opportunity of the register's review to make the Transparency Register mandatory.
