Grayling has taken a wide, inclusive view of what interest representation and lobbying includes (covering active representation of interests but also monitoring, as well as events and press relations linked with the EU political agenda).
We have however excluded from our list of clients those for whom we provided Belgian Public Relations services or media relations targeting individual Member States or other countries. -

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.
