Additional staff (and volunteers) may also, on occasion, provide technical / specialised support on EU related issues, thereby engaging in activities which may fall under the remit of the Register. This may extend to participation in meetings and conferences organised with / by the EU Institutions. Nonetheless, their primary responsibilities are not related to EU engagement. We estimate that at the current time no other staff or volunteers than those indicated are close to spending 25% of their working time on such activities.

Other financial info
The estimate provided (as a range) is the amount spent by ICAEW to maintain its Europe Region Office, excluding costs related to our broader continental European operations which are also dealt with from our Europe Region Office. For the sake of simplicity, the range provided includes the operational costs (including office rental), some travel and related staff costs.
The range also includes our membership fees for associations / organisations involved in activities falling under the remit of the Register, including Accountancy Europe and CFE (see also details provided above).
We do not refer to our public interest representation activities as "direct lobbying", notwithstanding the categorisation of such activities by the European Commission.
We applied the 2017 average exchange rate of £1 = € 1.141317 to the figures. -
