Goals / Remit
Der Bundesverband Musikindustrie (BVMI) vertritt die Interessen von rund 200 Tonträgerherstellern und Musikunternehmen, die mehr als 80 Prozent des deutschen Musikmarkts repräsentieren. Der Verband setzt sich für die Anliegen der Musikindustrie in der deutschen und europäischen Politik ein und dient der Öffentlichkeit als zentraler Ansprechpartner zur Musikbranche. Neben der Ermittlung und Veröffentlichung von Marktstatistiken sowie der Etablierung von Branchenstrukturen wie der B-to-B-Plattform PHONONET gehören branchennahe Dienstleistungen zum Portfolio des BVMI. Seit 1975 verleiht er die GOLD- und PLATIN-, seit 2014 auch die DIAMOND-AWARDS an die erfolgreichsten Künstler in Deutschland. Seit 1977 werden die Offiziellen Deutschen Charts im Auftrag des BVMI erhoben. Zur Orientierung der Verbraucher bei der legalen Nutzung von Musik im Internet hat der Verband 2013 die Initiative PLAYFAIR ins Leben gerufen.

Meetings
Meetings
4 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.
