TeleSUR Reports – Brussels, the Empire of the Lobby 

 The city of Brussels hosts the most important institutions of the
European Union and is full of lobbyists of all types. At least 70%,
however, are from the corporate sector, representing industrial,
financial and private interests. This report takes a look at this
imbalance, the common arguments used to pass laws, their lack of
validity, and efforts to achieve credibility. Observers note that
lobbyists dominate groups of “experts” that strongly influence key
decisions and point to the lack of transparency in their operations that
undermines the democratic process. teleSUR
