Communication activities
We have drafted numerous technical and legal briefings on citizens' rights throughout the negotiations.
We met on a regular basis with the Article 50 Task Force, now the UK Task Force, including several times with Michel Barnier and Sabine Weyand
We have given oral evidence on citizens' rights and Brexit on several occasions at hearings in the European Parliament (various committee and groups) and regular meetings with members of the Brexit Steering Group, European Parliament groups and dozens of other MEPs.
We have also given oral and written evidence to the Exiting the EU (later Future Relationship with the EU) Committee in the UK Parliament as well as in the Italian, French, Spanish, German and Dutch parliaments.

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.
