Only four of the seventeen
governments approached for information on their national offices' lobby
contacts in Brussels provided significant information. Indeed, ALTER-EU
found that many kept no records of lobby meetings and some shockingly
refused to disclose this basic information. There is an urgent need for a
legally-binding EU lobby register which includes all EU institutions
and permanent representations. Full transparency around the development
of rules and regulations that ultimately affect the lives of 500 million
European citizens is crucial! See the report here:http://corporateeurope.org/pressreleases/2016/03/member-state-offices-brussels-wide-open-corporate-lobbyists
