In 2023, despite censorship in several countries, DW has drawn 320million global user contacts per week. DW’s strategy of shifting output towards digital particularly in countries where press freedom is restricted was vital to the success of DW’s formats in Russia, Turkey and Iran. The strongest online platforms are Facebook, YouTube and Instagram. DW’s video content accounts for 225 million user contacts. In audio, 52 million user contacts come to DW's services each week while digital text pages attract 14 million user contacts.Main EU files targeted

31 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.
