ABB retains the right to update this 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
23 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.
