    Goals / Remit

    The AJC Transatlantic Institute (TAI) in Brussels works to strengthen the transatlantic bond and fosters dialogue between the US and the EU on issues of mutual concern in the fields of global security, Middle East peace, and human rights. TAI engages decision-makers across the political spectrum in all three major European institutions—the European Council, the European Commission and the European Parliament—as well as with NATO and the diplomatic missions to the EU, think tanks, journalists, and others in the civil society sector. We combine public education programming with public affairs/strategic communications outreach to provide our constituencies with information and analysis designed to help them formulate the policies best suited to protect European and US security and advance pluralism and democracy in the world.

    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.
