Seit seiner Gründung 1949 ist der DGB dem Prinzip der Einheitsgewerkschaft verpflichtet. Er ist - wie seine Mitgliedsgewerkschaften - pluralistisch und unabhängig, aber keineswegs politisch neutral. Er bezieht Position im Interesse der Arbeitnehmerinnen und Arbeitnehmer.

Meetings
Meetings
34 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.
