European Confederation of Independent Trade Unions (CESI)
EU Transparency Register
32738888445-74 First registered on 28 Mar 2012
Goals / Remit
The European Confederation of Independent Trade Unions (CESI) is a confederation more than 40 member trade union organisations from over 20 European countries, with a total of more than 6 million individual members (figures from August 2024). CESI advocates improved living and working conditions for workers in Europe. CESI's particular strength lies in the public sector but CESI also represents private sector workers. CESI defends trade union pluralism as a core component of freedom and democracy, views non-partisanship as a guiding principle of its work, and strictly adheres to ethical fundamental principles such as integrity, fairness, incorruptibility and transparency. CESI and its members are involved in advocacy work as an interest group and in social dialogue as a recognised European social partner (since 2005), being involved in various EU-level sectoral social dialogue committees.
Main EU files targeted
CESI follows, most notably, horizontal and sector-specific social and employment policies.

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.
