Communication activities
Kelkoo Group has a Legal and Policy function tasked with communicating our views on legal, regulatory and policy matters. Our programme is two pronged; a) restoring choice and competition for consumers and creating a level playing field for small businesses in digital markets and b) calling for effective enforcement of the Google Shopping and Adsense Decisions and the Digital Markets Act.
We maintain contact with the European Commission at key points and are also in contact with the European Parliament.
We have participated in the Commission's DMA Workshops and provided our views to the DMA team on Google's compliance with the DMA. We have also written to EVP Vestager and Commissioner Breton in the previous Commission, and to EVP Ribera and Commissioner Virkkunen in this Commission, on the same subjects.Other activities

Meetings
Meetings
3 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.
