Goals / Remit
Both ENDS is een onafhankelijke, niet-gouvernementele organisatie (NGO) die werkt aan een duurzame toekomst voor onze planeet. We doen dit door het identificeren en versterken van maatschappelijke organisaties (CSO's), vooral in ontwikkelingslanden. Deze organisaties komen vaak met duurzame antwoorden op milieu- en armoede-gerelateerde onderwerpen. Voortbouwend op deze alternatieven, creëren en ondersteunen wij strategische netwerken die de belangen van mens en milieu voorop stellen. Tegelijkertijd beïnvloeden wij beleid in de richting van een duurzame economie; dat doen wij zowel op nationaal en internationaal niveau.
Om de verstoorde balans te herstellen hebben wij onze eigen aanpak. Zo gaan we actief op zoek naar mensen en organisaties in ontwikkelingslanden die op lokaal niveau bezig zijn met armoedebestrijding en milieubeheer. Zij ontwikkelen vaak goede ideeën om hun eigen levensstandaard en hun natuurlijke leefomgeving te verbeteren.Main EU files targeted

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.
