We have four in-house employees in RCG's government relations team in Europe. One has the primary responsibility for liaising with the EU institutions (75%). The other three team members are more focused on management, shipyard and ports and destinations matters in the EU Member States and / or the International Maritime Organization (IMO). They only engage with issues covered by this registry on ad hoc basis, hence the lower FTE percentage.

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.
