Other financial info
The source of EU funding for 2023 is from two H2020 projects - CO-FRESH and FOODSAFETY4EU. The amounts are the relative share for the respective accounting years, and not the absolute amount transferred. This is because, as known, there are only 2 or 3 transfers for the duration of the whole project, which covers 3 or 3.5 years. Hence, the amounts have to be distributed among accounting years. For 2024, the funds are from the project H2020 CO-FRESH and the HORIZON SOSFood.

Meetings
Meetings
8 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.
