Complementary Information
The above numbers reflect Alibaba employees who are engaged in the activities described under heading 9. However, we have excluded from this figure Alibaba executive officers who spend a de minimis percentage of their time in covered activities, such as occasional meeting attendance.
In addition, Alibaba employs the services of a public affairs firm, and a consulting firm, whose staff provides a limited amount of support for those activities, approximately equivalent to a .5 FTE. Those external resources are also not included in the figure above.Person in charge of EU relations

Meetings
Meetings
8 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.
