Complementary Information
Lobbying on behalf of LACA is done by volunteers from the group's membership on a part-time ad hoc basis only. LACA's focus is primarily the UK, but it also lobbies from time to time within Europe on relevant matters, mainly by responding to appropriate consultations or writing to Commissioners, civil servants or MEPs. The 'number of persons engaged in specific activities covered by the Register' amounts to one 0.25 FTE person per year.
