EU LOBBYING BY NATIONAL TRADE ASSOCIATIONS

The following National Trade Associations are listed in the Transparency Register. Only those holding 1 European Parliament Pass are indicated here below. It is difficult to assess the lobbying activities of these associations. Admittedly if you have only 1 individual who can enter the premises of the European Parliament, effective lobbying may be limited. Some associations may well have registered in the Transparency Register only to gain legitimacy and may not do much lobbying at the EU level. Others may have established a Brussels presence.
