Goals / Remit
The European Publishers Council (EPC) is a high-level group of Chairmen and CEOs of leading media groups representing companies which are active in news media, television, radio, digital marketplaces, journals, e-Learning, databases and books delivering a diverse range of quality, independent content across different platforms and devices to citizens across the EU and globally. We have been communicating with Europe’s legislators since 1991 on issues that affect the health and viability of journalistically driven media and publishing companies which uphold the freedom of expression, media diversity, and democratic debate in the European Union.

Meetings
Meetings
44 meetings found. Download meetings
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.
