See the full text: New and Improved? Why the EU Lobby Register still fails to deliver (link): "This new research, published by the Alliance for Lobbying Transparency and Ethics Regulation (ALTER-EU), shows how the voluntary approach to EU lobby transparency regulation fails to provide citizens with an accurate picture of the lobby scene in Brussels. Some of the main groups that are actively lobbying the EU institutions have still not registered in the EU's Transparency Register. These include:

• Financial lobbyists such as Standard & Poors, City of London Corporation and Credit Suisse;
• Law firms such as Covington & Burling and Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer;
• Major corporations such as Electrabel, Anglo American and Generral Motors."

Our work is only possible with your support.
