EU Transparency Register
08955462188-48 First registered on 27 Aug 2009
Goals / Remit
The European Fishing Tackle & Trade Association (EFTTA) was established in London in 1981 with the aim of representing the interests of the European tackle trade and recreational angling industry. To this end, the association lobbies and raises awareness in the political field and public relations. In 2021, EFTTA moved its headquarters to Brussels and is now registered as a non-profit lobbying association. EFTTA's mission is to promote and protect the recreational angling industry, foster its growth, and influence policy and legislation that affect the tackle trade and recreational anglers. EFTTA encourages nature conservation and promotes the restoration and protection activities by anglers and industry players around recreational angling for a sustainable environment. Membership is open to manufacturers, in/exporters, wholesalers, agents, press, related businesses and fishing and tackle trade associations.

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.
