    Other financial info

    We retain the right to update our entry as necessary, particularly in response to clarifications from EU institutions and associations regarding the interpretation of the Transparency Register.

    On public procurement, our reported amount encompasses all direct EU-awarded contracts that are within our knowledge.

    However, it’s important to note that ABB Ltd. secures contracts for EU public tenders through consortium arrangements. Confidentiality obligations stipulated in these consortium agreements often do not allow ABB Ltd from publicly disclosing specific business details related to these contracts. More information on public EU tenders can be accessed on EU databases.

  • Meetings

    Meetings

    27 meetings found. Download meetings

    The list below covers meetings with Commissioners/Cabinet members/Directors-general (high-level) Commission meetings published December 2014 to December 2024, and the meetings of Commissioners/Cabinet members/Directors-general and officials holding "management functions" in the Commission published since 1 January 2025. Other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may well have taken place, but the Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. All information below comes from the Commission and not from the registrant.

    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.
