Toy Industries of Europe (TIE) is the trade association for the European toy industry for which it serves as a discussion platform. TIE's membership comprises 8 national associations representing the industry in the most important markets in the EU, as well as a group of 19 toy manufacturers. TIE provides information on the main issues and challenges for the toy sector in Europe and provides its members with information and advice on legislative developments that will affect the sector. TIE also helps to educate the toy sector about how to comply with relevant legislation - for example on safety - and leads public initiatives to educate consumers about safe play. In 2020 TIE launched the Play for Change Awards aiming to celebrate and promote toy makers' initiatives in the areas of environmental sustainability, diversity and inclusion and providing children with life skills.

Meetings
Meetings
15 meetings found. Download meetings
The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
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.
