Goals / Remit
“Blockchain for Europe” ensures that blockchain companies can speak with a more unified voice, to interact with policymakers at EU-level and beyond. The core members of Blockchain for Europe are organisations whose business model originates from and is based on Distributed Ledget Technology (DLT) (including blockchain). Blockchain for Europe’s main objectives are: 1. Creating a coherent voice of the DLT and blockchain industry; 2. Sharing its expertise and engaging with European decision makers about the true nature, potential and use cases of Blockchain and Distributed Ledger technologies. 3. Ensuring that regulation protects consumers and promotes innovation in the ecosystem.

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.
