Goals / Remit
Treatment Action Group (TAG) envisions the end of the HIV, tuberculosis (TB), and hepatitis C (HCV) pandemics with the discovery, development, and worldwide dissemination of safe and effective diagnostics, preventives, and cures through public health structures that end systemic harms and promote human rights, and that are developed by the diverse communities most affected by these conditions. This vision will be realized based on data and science, and achieved through community engagement, distributive justice, and equitable access to the benefits of science.

Please note that the estimate of annual costs related to activities covered by the Register is estimated to be very low as Treatment Action Group (TAG) is a USA-based organization that engages with the EU on narrow, discrete topics and not as a matter of our primary mission. Our engagement is limited to EU policies and programmes related to global health research, specifically within the sub-field of infectious diseases and primarily focused on tuberculosis (TB). Estimates of staff time reflect reasonable estimates of effort given to these activities and to supervising the work of a Brussels-based consultant, Karen Hoehn of Bonstar Consulting, with whom TAG has a contractual relationship to outsource relevant representation activities. Our contract with Karen Hoehn totals USD $24,000 (~EUR 22,100) for the period February 2024 through December 2024, subject to renewal at similar level of effort.

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.
