Goals / Remit
BlackRock is one of the world’s leading providers of investment, advisory and risk management solutions. We are a fiduciary to our clients - which means putting our clients’ interests first. It is from this perspective that BlackRock supports the creation of regulatory regimes that increase transparency, protect investors, and facilitate responsible long-term growth of capital markets, while preserving consumer choice and assessing benefits versus implementation costs.
Specifically in EU affairs, our organisational goals are to:
- Positively contribute to legislation and regulations affecting Europe's end-investors
- Distinguish our firm as a trusted resource for policymakers
- Demonstrate thought leadership that adds to the European policy debateMain EU files targeted
We follow legislative issues which we feel will have an impact on end-investors – a (non-exhaustive) sampling of some of the EU issues we have been focused on in recent years can be found below:
- markets and tradings e.g. EMIR, CSDR
- financial stability and macroprudential policy
- technology and operational resilience e.g. DORA
- funds and products e.g. MMFR, ELTIFs
- retail investment and distribution e.g. RIS
- sustainable finance e.g. SFDR, CSRD
- long-term savings and retirement e.g. PEPPAddress

Meetings
Meetings
49 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.
