Top of the EU pops

The EU’s stricter new transparency rules require public disclosure of all meetings between European Commissioners (or their top staff) and lobbyists — a category that includes companies, consultancies, non-governmental organisations and trade associations. The feature looks at the situation after the first few months of the new rules.

[Details of the meetings between European Commissioners (and their staff) with external organisations are usually available on the websites of individuals European Commissioners]
