In 2018, FlixTrain was launched, expanding this service into the rail industry. Thanks to a user-friendly booking system and extensive daily route network, Flix offers travelers the opportunity to experience the world no matter their budget. Our green buses and long-distance trains comply with the highest safety and environmental standards, so that we can offer a sustainable, convenient and comfortable alternative to private transportation.

Meetings
Meetings
9 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.
