Communication activities
From the period of 2013 to 2023, the Association of European Businesses (AEB) has prepared, published, and disseminated the Results of the AEB Annual Survey titled "Strategies and Prospects for European Companies in Russia" to various stakeholders.
These materials are available for reference at the following weblink: https://aebrus.ru/en/media/aeb_annual_survey/archive/6400786/
In February 2021, the AEB launched its new project titled "Green Initiative." This initiative is dedicated to safeguarding the interests of European business, promoting the adoption of the best international practices and technologies, and fostering collaboration with the stakeholders and partners in the realms of climate policy and energy efficiency of production.

Meetings
Meetings
22 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.
