Commission: fewer lobby meetings under v • Table.Briefings

Whose interests are being heard here? Table.Briefings has evaluated how the past two Commissions have dealt with lobby meetings.

An analysis of the EU Transparency Register shows that the Commission under von der Leyen met significantly less often with interest groups than under Juncker. There are also significant differences between the Commissioners.

Commissioners and cabinet members of the first von der Leyen Commission met with stakeholders from business and civil society 15692 times between 2019 and 2024. Resulting in 19 percent fewer meetings with stakeholders than the Commission held under Jean-Claude Juncker. This is according to a list of lobby meetings which the Commission is obliged to publish and which Table.Briefings has evaluated.
