It’s full steam ahead again in Brussels, with a new Commission on the way coming with new commitments and priorities. The Finnish have made lobby transparency one of the goals of their Presidency, the new Commission included the creation of a mandatory lobby register in their work plan and major European parties promised increased transparency during the last European elections. So what comes next?
In this panel discussion, organised in partnership with EPACA, we will hear the views from each of the institutions and how they see the way forward on the creation of a mandatory EU transparency register.
Please see the draft agenda below.
