Der DB-Konzern ist ein führender Anbieter im Bereich Mobilität und Logistik. Im Wesentlichen besteht der DB-Konzern aus dem Systemverbund Bahn sowie den zwei internationalen Großbeteiligungen DB Schenker und DB Arriva. Der Systemverbund Bahn umfasst unsere Personenverkehrsaktivitäten in Deutschland, unsere Schienengüterverkehrsaktivitäten, die operativen Serviceeinheiten sowie die Eisenbahninfrastrukturunternehmen. Der DB-Konzern, mit Sitz der Konzernleitung in Berlin, beschäftigt rund 340.000 Mitarbeitende. Der Fokus unserer Geschäftstätigkeit liegt auf dem Schienenverkehr in Deutschland. Unser elementares Anliegen ist dabei die Verlagerung von Verkehr auf die klimafreundliche Schiene. Hierfür setzen wir auf einen integrierten Betrieb von Verkehr und Eisenbahninfrastruktur, die ökonomisch und ökologisch intelligente Verknüpfung aller Verkehrsträger sowie die Zusammenarbeit in deutschen und europäischen Netzwerken.

Meetings
Meetings
37 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.
