In calculating the figures above, we have adopted a comprehensive approach and have sought to capture all activities carried out by Autodesk, Delcam and / or our external consultants for the purpose of directly or indirectly influencing EU policy or legislative initiatives. Consistent with Transparency Register guidance, our estimate includes expenses (e.g., salaries, operating costs, travel costs, etc.), for Autodesk and Delcam personnel, as well as for external consultants to the extent they are involved in outreach to the EU institutions. We have also disclosed all association membership expenses that are attributable to EU advocacy activities.
