To carry out its work, the BSAC holds regular meetings of its Executive Committee, Working Groups, and when necessary, Focus Groups.

The work of the Executive Committee is assisted by a Management Team consisting of the Honorary chair, Executive Committee Chair, Working Group Chairs and the Secretariat. An annual General Assembly is held. Policy decisions and advice and recommendations issued by the BSAC are sent to the EU Commission and Member States. They are made available on the website. The BSAC Secretariat produces a newsletter which is available on its website.

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.
