Les personnes concernées du CEFS dédient environ 15% de leurs activités aux activités décrites au point 9. En 2023, ce chiffre était de 6 personnes. Malheureusement le choix de 15% n'est pas donné dans cette question. En cochant dans la case de 25% on s'approche de la réalité mais de façon imparfaite.

Meetings
Meetings
25 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.
