Considerations for regulation of lobbying

Here below are the most essential elements that may be included in the regulation of lobbying:

Definition of Lobbying/Lobbyists: In all cases when lobbying is directly regulated ,the acts of legislation should either provide a general definition of lobbying/lobbyists, or state specifically to what persons it refers. Usually, such definitions included in the laws do not cover all the lobbyists, but only certain categories, for example, those who engage in lobbying on behalf of a client for remuneration.
