European advocacy groups

European advocacy groups are organizations that represent the interests of particular causes, industries, or communities across Europe. They work to influence policymakers, raise public awareness, and promote specific policies or changes by engaging in lobbying, research, and public campaigns. These groups can focus on topics like environment, human rights, consumer protection, or industry-specific concerns. Their goal is to ensure that the views and needs of their members or target groups are considered in decision-making processes at European institutions such as the European Parliament and European Commission, fostering informed, balanced policy development across the continent.
