Events
We often organise events aimed to policymakers, civil servants and the general public to publicize our advocacy programmatic objectives. In the last semester we :
o Participated to the organisation of events revolving around the ocean week in october 2024 along with other NGOs active in the protection of ocean habitats, aimed to MEP and servants of the European Commission
o Organised the launch of an Ocean Coalition in Brussels on October 16th, to which MEP, Council attachés and civil servants of the Commission participated, along with citizens, NGO and activists

BLOOM is a non-profit organization whose mission it is to protect the oceans by raising awareness and explaining environmental problems through scientific mediation, by producing relevant and independent scientific studies, and by participating in public consultations and institutional processes. Our actions target the general public, political and economic decision-makers.

3 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.
