In actual numbers more than 20 Borealis employees are involved in associations discussing EU policies and legislation, however, most of them spend less than 10% of working time engaged in these activities. We have one member of staff working full time on EU policies and two members of staff working 1/2 time on EU policies.
The automatic calculation of the FTE represents Borealis' best estimate of this collective engagement in discussions on EU policy and its implementation.Person in charge of EU relations

Meetings
Meetings
4 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.
