These 9 people are not involved in full time EU lobbying, hence the discrepancy between the allocated budget and the number of people involved in EU decision making at EPSU.
This is because EPSU is involved in a wide range of activities that are not related to lobbying the European Union institutions.Person in charge of EU relations
