Médecins sans Frontières is a private international association. The association is
made up mainly of doctors and health sector workers and is also open to all other
professions which might help in achieving its aims. All of its members agree to honour
the following principles:
Médecins Sans Frontières provides assistance to populations in distress, to victims
of natural or man-made disasters and to victims of armed conflict. They do so
irrespective of race, religion, creed or political convictions.
Médecins Sans Frontières observes neutrality and impartiality in the name of universal
medical ethics and the right to humanitarian assistance and claims full and unhindered
freedom in the exercise of its functions.
Members undertake to respect their professional code of ethics and to maintain
complete independence from all political, economic, or religious powers.
As volunteers, members understand the risks and dangers of the missions they carry
out and make no claim for themselves or their assigns for any form of compensation
other than that which the association might be able to afford them.Main EU files targeted
Migration and asylum issues, humanitarian affairs, trade policies and bilateral trade agreements with developing countries and access to medicines policies in IP chapters and investment chapters. Medical Research and development policies of the EU: Horizon 2020, EDCTP and IMI.

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.
