Goals / Remit
Open Europe’s mission is to conduct rigorous analysis and produce recommendations on which to base the UK’s new relationship with the EU and its trading relationships with the rest of the world. We aim to ensure that Government policy and public debate is rational and well informed.
In the wake of the UK’s vote to leave the EU, our programme of research and consultation will focus particularly on:
The UK’s new relationship with the EU, including trade, security and political cooperation.
The most important opportunities for new trading relationships with nations outside the EU.
Productive international cooperation across areas such as immigration, research and development, cross-border investment and financial services.
Our starting point is the promotion of democratically grounded economic, trade and investment policies which foster growth, employment and freedom under the rule of law. Guided by these free market and liberal principles, we are committed to an open Europe and an open Britain.
Funded by individual donations, our research is strictly independent from party political, EU institutional or commercial interests.
Our research areas include:
Trade and development
Institutional reform and transparency
Single Market and regulation
Environment and energy
Polling and public opinion
Justice, home affairs and migration
EU budget and economic reform
Monetary union and the euroMain EU files targeted

Meetings
Meetings
8 meetings found. Download meetings
The list below covers meetings with Commissioners/Cabinet members/Directors-general (high-level) Commission meetings published December 2014 to December 2024, and the meetings of Commissioners/Cabinet members/Directors-general and officials holding "management functions" in the Commission published since 1 January 2025. Other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may well have taken place, but the Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. All information below comes from the Commission and not from the registrant.
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.
