    Communication activities

    The events we arrange range from small scale briefings with ten people, focused on specific and often technical dossiers, to large scale conferences or dinners with senior speakers from national and EU government and business covering strategic considerations. Our communication activities are centred around our events - mainly through online media and mailing to our members.

    We produce position papers and publications with our various working groups and committees.

    We organise projects around trade and business development between UK and the EU.

    Information on our events, both forthcoming and past, is available on our website.

    Meetings

    25 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.
