European Union lobbying

European Union lobbying involves groups, companies, or organizations trying to influence EU policymakers’ decisions and laws. These groups share their expertise, concerns, and perspectives to shape policies that affect their interests. Lobbyists often meet with lawmakers, provide research, and participate in consultations to ensure their views are considered. The EU aims for transparency, requiring lobbyists to register and disclose their activities. This process helps balance diverse interests and ensures that decision-making considers expert input from various sectors, ultimately influencing legislation and policies that impact citizens, businesses, and governments across Europe.
