TRANSPARENCY OF MEETINGS WITH LOBBYISTS IN THE EP

A revision of the European Parliament’s rules of procedure, was adopted on 31 January 2019, to increase transparency obligations for meetings between elected officials and lobbies. When MEPs act as rapporteurs, shadow rapporteurs or committee chairs, they will be obliged to publish their scheduled meetings with interest representatives on Parliament’s website. Other MEPs are also encouraged to publish online information on such meetings. Agendas for meetings between MEPs and interest representatives will be made public.
