WORK DONE VIA THE ALTER-EU COALITION

* Access Info is part of the Steering Committee of ALTER-EU since October 2011 and as such is engaged in campaigns to reform the EU Transparency Register, to re-balance expert groups in the European Commission, and to strengthen ethics regulation in the EU.

* Lobby Transparency Now! Campaign: As part of ALTER-EU, Access Info works on a pan-European campaign involving member groups. The objective is to campaign so that a high-quality mandatory lobby register is adopted by the EU institutions (and ideally implemented on the national level as well).
