MAKING THE EU LOBBYING PROCESS MORE TRANSPARENT

What is proposed hereunder is the creation of a web-based system called ‘CHARLEMAGNE ’ that would be a forum for lobbyists, constituents, and other interested parties to come together to publicly and transparently debate legislation, and in the process provide EU staff, journalists, and the public access to the best available arguments, information, and ideas about public policy – all in a way that is easily searchable and sortable. In order to make CHARLEMAGNE easily navigable, different types of participants should use the system in different ways.
