Other financial info
It is very hard to estimate how much SIX spends on EU 'lobbying', but this is the most realistic figure available, and includes the subscriptions to the associations mentioned above.
the increase compare to 2015 is mainly driven by hiring a new Employee which is more present in Bruxelles (without maintaining an office location) than before. -

Communication activities
Applications under MiFID2/MiFIR, EMIR and CSDR for recognition to provide trade, clearing, settlement and custody services into the EU.
Other activities
While SIX employees do not directly participate in Commission and Parliament committees and working groups, we seek to influence the EU agenda through our membership of European Trade Associations such as EACG, ECSDA, FESE, ICMA etc. In addition, bilateral meetings take place directly between SIX officials and those from the EU institutions.
