We receive a yearly grant under the Single Market Programme, administered by DG FISMA. In addition, we received a grant under the Horizon 2020 Programme, administered by EASME, for a total of circa 260 000 EUR for the period 09/2020 - 08/2023.

We fully expect to receive EU support under the Single Market Programme for 2024 as well, but as of the submission of this update, we had not yet received the 2024 funding decision.

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.
