The Mentor Group
EU Transparency Register

Goals / Remit
Established 1983 in Boston, Mentor Group is a publicly supported research institute that founded a distinctive constitutional, legal-economic and political-economic exchange following the classical definition of political economy that applies the principles of justice to economic and business affairs. Mentor Group’s work had been motivated by lack of understanding in the United States about the European Union and by misapprehension in Europe about the origins of the United States political economy. Toward this end, Mentor established the "Forum for EU-US Legal-Economic Affairs" in 1989. This peer group of EU and US Supreme Court Justices, European Union Commissioners and their US counterparts, and corporate Chief Legal Officers meets twice annually in Europe to discuss concrete legal-economic developments between the European Union and the United States. Collective findings inform members’ autonomous decisions in the future.
Main EU files targeted
Cutting across jurisdictions and sectors, the "Forum for EU-US Legal-Economic Affairs" covers EU and US competition law enforcement and judicial control; data protection, privacy and security; European industrial policy and innovation; big data, emerging technologies and artificial intelligence; digital sovereignty and cybersecurity; intellectual property rights and innovation; global statecraft and power competition; sustainability development goals & the European Green Deal; fundamental rights and economic freedoms; market dependence on courts’ judgments; EU due process protections; corporate responsibility, FCPA and global anti-corruption policy; transatlantic security and trade cooperation.

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.
