    Communication activities

    At a meeting at the High Commission of Jamaica, London, on 1 December 2015, the leaders of the ACP/LDC sugar industries renewed the terms of reference for the Group. The ACP/LDC sugar industries agreed that the group would continue its work in support of the OACPS Working Group on Sugar in Brussels. This was again confirmed in April 2019.

  • Meetings

    Meetings

    1 meetings found. Download meetings

    The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.

    1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
