Building on the wealth of diverse legal traditions, its mission is the quest for better law-making in Europe and the enhancement of European legal integration. By its endeavours, the ELI seeks to contribute to the formation of a more vigorous European legal community, integrating the achievements of the various legal cultures, endorsing the value of comparative knowledge, and taking a genuinely pan-European perspective. As such its work covers all branches of the law: substantive and procedural; private and public. Among ELI\u2019s core tasks are: to evaluate and stimulate the development of EU law, legal policy and practice, and in particular to make proposals for the further development of the acquis and for the enhancement of EU law implementation by the Member States;to identify and analyse legal developments in areas within the competence of Member States which are relevant at EU level;to study EU approaches regarding international law and enhance the role EU law could play globally, for instance in drafting international instruments or model rules; to conduct and facilitate pan-European research, in particular to draft, evaluate or improve principles and rules which are common to the European legal systems; andto provide a forum for discussion and cooperation between jurists (irrespective of their vocation or occupation), inter alia academics, judges, lawyers and other legal professionals, who take an active interest in European legal development and together represent a broad range of legal traditions.To accomplish its tasks, the ELI operates on its own initiative. It is also, however, available for consultation with institutions involved in the development of law on a European, international or national level. As its perspective is not limited to the European experience, the ELI is ready to seek cooperation with non-European or international organisations such as the American Law Institute or UNIDROIT. The ELI is committed to the principles of comprehensiveness and collaborative working, and strives to bridge the oft-perceived gap between the different legal cultures, between public and private law, as well as between scholarship and practice. To further that commitment it seeks to involve a diverse range of personalities, reflecting the richness of the legal traditions, legal disciplines and vocational frameworks found throughout Europe. The ELI is also open to the use of different methodological approaches and to canvassing insights and perspectives from as wide an audience as possible of those who share its vision.', 'head_office_address': u'14\xa0Schottenring\xa0\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Vienna\xa01010\r\n AUSTRIA', 'id': '455458212010-50', 'lobbying_expenditure': '', 'lobbying_section': 'IV - Think tanks, research and academic institutions', 'lobbying_subsection': 'Think tanks and research institutions', 'lobbyists_contact_position': 'President', 'name': 'European Law Institute', 'networking': '', 'num_natural_members': '1,007', 'num_org_members': '', 'org_members': '', 'register_url': 'http://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultation/displaylobbyist.do?id=455458212010-50', 'registration_date': '03/10/13 10:31:29', 'retrieved_at': '2014-12-03T06:05:49.022678', 'telephone': u'(+43)\xa01 4277 221 01', 'update_date': '03/10/14 09:49:13'} ALIASES Fields of interest for e-mail alerts on consultations and roadmaps; {'activities': 'EU Directive on the right to interpretation and translation in criminal proceedings --> dissemination of information among the stakeholders (lawyers, judges, prosecutors, ministries of justice, legal interpreters and translators in EU member states and beyond).

The annual European Health Forum Gastein congress is a platform for discussion, information exchange and networking by including leading country- and EU-level representatives from the areas of health policy, administration, science, business and patient organisations.The European Health Forum Gastein is the most important health-related event in the European Union and a meeting point for experts from different fields within the health system. In doing so the EHFG is taking part in the way in which the Commission launches legislative initiatives, with standardised inter-services consultation procedures, new comitology rules, and dialogue with civil society and experts.This year\u2019s conference is about:The European Parliament elections, the elections for the President of the European Commission and the new College of Commissioners in 2014 will earmark an important year for European politics in general and for health policy in Europe in particular. In order to meet visions of a social and prosperous Europe, we need politicians and stakeholders who will champion smart, sustainable and inclusive policies while maintaining strong values such as universality, access to good quality care, equity and solidarity. However there are concerns about an increased eurosceptic presence in the new European Parliament and what that could entail for health. The EHFG 2014 will reflect on the opportunities and risks for health in light of the outcome of the European elections, and will discuss how to maintain and improve the health of European citizens.European Health AwardThe European Health Award honours initiatives aiming to improve public health or healthcare in Europe.

A credible EU lobbying transparency register should include names of individual lobbyists and the issues that they try to influence, provide precise and comparable financial information on lobbying, and have effective monitoring and sanctions to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information disclosed. In an effort to arrive at a more objective way of calculating lobbying expenditures, we follow guidelines that result from consultations with public interest organisations, professionals working on lobby transparency as well as experts of US lobby disclosure legislation. Our registration is therefore providing a more comprehensive calculation of our expenses for activities that aim to influence the policy formulation and decision-making processes of the European institutions, and a list of those who, on behalf of LIGHT FOR THE WORLD, carry out such activities.Our registration is based on the guidelines for transparent registration developed by the Civil Society Contact Group and ALTER-EU.

There is no separation of state and religion.8.Objects and people that have contact with \u201eHaram" products are \u201eHaram" (see the relevant discourses of one of the most prominent religious leader of the Islamic countries).\u201eHalal" certifications violate European law:a.96 articles of the consolidated version valid from 30.3.2010 of the \u201eTreaty on the Functioning of the European Union" (Official Journal of the European Union C 83/47),in our view, by the admission of \u201eHalal" and \u201eIslamic finance" by all 27 EU states, are being violated.b.15 articles of the consolidated version valid from 30.3.2010 of the \u201eTreaty on European Union" (Official Journal of the European Union C 83/13),in our view, by the admission of \u201eHalal" and \u201eIslamic finance" by all 27 EU member states, are being violated.c.16 articles of the consolidated version valid from 30.3.2010 of the \u201eCharter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union" (Official Journal of the European Union C 83/02), which is an integral part of the EU Treaties,in our view, by the admission of \u201eHalal" and \u201eIslamic finance" by all 27 EU states, are being violated."d.The European Court of Human Rights has established and recognized in its decision of 13.2.2003, that Sharia law and the discrimination derived from the Sharia, are prohibited in Europe.(EGMR decision 13.2.2003, Bsw41340/98, Bsw41342/98, Bsw41343/98, Bsw41344/98)e.The Court of Justice of the EU has repeatedly taken the position, that the discrimination is prohibited in all areas of the EU.(see Court of Justice of the EU,C-303/06,C-54/07,C-43/75,C- 177/88,C-14/83, Council of the EU 2000/43/EG,2000/78/EG,etc', 'area_of_interest': 'global', 'countries': 'AUSTRIA', 'extra_financial_info': '', 'fax_number': '', 'financial_year': '01/2013\r\n - \r\n 12/2013', 'goals': u'The organization is partner organization of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights. http://fra.europa.eu/en/cooperation/civil-society/participant-organisations?title=v%C3%B6lkerverst%C3%A4ndigung&published_at%5Bmin%5D%5Bdate%5D=&published_at%5Bmax%5D%5Bdate%5D=&related_content=Additionally organization in consultative status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of UNITED NATIONShttp://esango.un.org/civilsociety/simpleSearch.do?method=search&searchTypeRedef=simpleSearch&sessionCheck=false&searchType=simpleSearch&organizationNamee=verein+zur+forderung+der+volkerverstandigungThe organization which is non-profit, aims at furthering ties between peoples of different nationalities, by means of common activities and events, thereby intensifiying understanding and peace between peoples.

The participants noted that there is no real equal partnership in the ACP- EU relations and dialogue and that there still to much dependency on financial aid. Parliaments, social, economic and civil society stakeholders should be actively involved in the programming of the financial instrument.With regard to the Economic Partnership Agreements (EPA), "ACP signatories should abide to the principles of the Cotonou Agreement to drive a trade policy which is coherent to the objective of poverty eradication and partnership, if those countries are to advance their trade policies according to their own needs and circumstances".During a meeting at the ACP Secretariat on Friday 7 October 2011, the challenges for the future of ACP were discussed. These challenges are: the changing EU Architecture, Lisbon Treaty and EEAS, ACP is not longer priority for EU, Aid fatigue in Europe as well in ACP countries and changing geopolitical realities.ACP aims to continue the North-South dialogue as well as the South-South solidarity. "Despite the provisions in the Cotonou Agreement ACP Civil society organizations were not equipped with and have not been abled to access the resources since 2000.

Generally, we have imposed a very wide interpretation of what should be considered lobbying.

AGE aims to voice and promote the interests of the 150 million inhabitants aged 50+ in the European Union and to raise awareness of the issues that concern them most.AGE\u2019s vision is that of a European society inclusive of all ages and free from all forms of discrimination, where all citizens enjoy equal rights and equal access to fundamental goods and services and where all citizens, regardless of their age, are empowered to participate fully in society. In order to realise this agenda, our members believe that the EU must work in partnership with all relevant stakeholders. Indeed, the scale of these challenges requires full commitment from all actors with a stake in Europe\u2019s success, and AGE believes that civil society has a unique contribution to make in realising this aim and in building a new confidence in the EU as a force for prosperity, solidarity, security and equal opportunity for all in EuropeAGE\u2019s work is mainly targeted at our members as well as external stakeholders such as European institutions, national and local public authorities, European social NGOs and social partners, and other relevant parties working in the field of ageing and human rights.AGE aims to become the key network representing senior citizens across the EU and for that we want to develop our capacity to respond to the rapidly growing request for co-operation from external institutions: public authorities at EU, national regional and local levels, universities, researchers, social partners, industry, and other NGOs. AGE believes that older and/or retired people should be able to speak out on their own behalf. To this end, AGE places great importance on their leadership and active involvement in all of its activities. To implement this principle, our internal structure is developed in a democratic way, with a General Assembly, elected Council and Executive Committee, designated Accreditation Committee and Experts Groups and an appointed Secretariat, to ensure that our members are actively involved in our work. Our main working method is networking and alliance building. AGE works to build a more effective civil dialogue at European, national, regional and local level and seeks to ensure that this dialogue recognises and takes account of the needs and expectations of older people across the EU and of their great social and cultural diversity.', 'head_office_address': u'111\xa0Rue Froissart\xa0\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Bruxelles\xa01040\r\n BELGIUM', 'id': '16549972091-86', 'lobbying_expenditure': '', 'lobbying_section': 'III - Non-governmental organisations', 'lobbying_subsection': 'Non-governmental organisations, platforms and networks and similar', 'lobbyists_contact_position': 'Secretary General', 'name': 'AGE Platform Europe', 'networking': 'AGE is a member of the following organisations:http://www.socialplatform.org/http://www.eapn.org/http://www.epha.org/', 'num_natural_members': '0', 'num_org_members': '147', 'org_members': u"50 & pi\xf9\xa0(0\xa0members);50+ Hellas\xa0(0\xa0members);A.

Lobbying expenditures were covered by voluntary contributions by the members of the Steering Committee and other members of the coalition. Our members contribute in kind (staff time) and share the costs for specific activities (rent of venues, cost of adverts and publications).Following the guidelines of the EU Civil Society Contact Group and ALTER-EU, we have calculated that ALTER-EU spent an estimated 158,240 Euro in 2013 on activities carried out with the objective of influencing the policy formulation and decision-making processes of the European institutions.

ALTER-EU believes that this register fails basic transparency standards and that it does not provide EU lobbying transparency. When registering, we have therefore chosen to give all relevant information that we consider necessary for lobbying transparency. A credible EU lobbying transparency register should include names of individual lobbyists and the issues that they try to influence, provide precise and comparable financial information on lobbying, and have effective sanctions to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information disclosed. In an effort to arrive at a more objective way of calculating lobbying expenditures, we follow guidelines that result from consultations with public interest organisations, professionals working on lobby transparency as well as experts of US lobby disclosure legislation. Our registration is therefore providing a more comprehensive calculation of our expenses for activities that aim to influence the policy formulation and decision-making processes of the European institutions, and a list of those who, on behalf of ALTER-EU, carry out such activities.Our registration is based on the guidelines for transparent registration developed by the Civil Society Contact Group and ALTER-EU.

AFEMS is a Europe-wide association. Founded on the principles of cooperation and dialogue, it provides a forum for its network of members, a hub of information on sporting ammunition and a means of responding effectively to technical, scientific and legislative challenges.It represents a network of manufacturers and distributors of ammunition, components, clay targets and machinery, each boasting vast experience and a long history in the industry. Despite their different backgrounds, they all share a common goal: to protect and grow activities related to sporting ammunition.AFEMS is regarded as the sole spokesperson and representative for the entire European ammunition industry. And AFEMS works actively with the European Commission and the European Parliament to influence drafting and implementation of legislation on the production, classification and distribution of related products. AFEMS is also considered the main hub through which its members can obtain information, exchange views and work together to tackle the technical, scientific and legislative challenges.Strengthening dialogue and cooperation among its members, and representing their interests to the relevant decision-making bodies, are therefore clear priorities for AFEMS.The key benefit of AFEMS membership is the opportunity to network. As well as meeting individuals who share a common interest, you will develop many new, professional relationships. Our members particularly value the contacts they make at face to face meetings with their peers, together with the information they gather at these events.The challenges which our sector faces are so many and complex, that no single company can efficiently, or effectively, tackle them alone. AFEMS offers an effective mechanism by which our joint efforts can be coordinated in pursuit of common objectives, to better ensure a positive outcome for our industry.The recent, major report on Lead ammunition, prepared in response to Reach Regulation requirements, is a real example of what AFEMS can accomplish to ensure the adoption of proportionate policies in relation to our sector. Thanks to its long history and experience AFEMS has an excellent reputation and is, today, regarded as the European association of the sporting ammunition sector, able to fully address its challenges.In order to safeguard the collective interests of its members, AFEMS undertakes a range of activities. Working with our members, AFEMS aims to:\u2022gather and exchange information on scientific, technical, institutional, environmental and standardisation issues regarding sporting ammunition and related industries;\u2022participate in working groups, comprising experts from European industry, to study problems and propose solutions;\u2022cooperate with the European Commission during Directive preparatory stages, by being able to provide specific information regarding our industry;\u2022submit papers to the EU Parliament representing our industry's position;\u2022monitor the work of the Committee of United Nations Working Groups and Experts (Transport of Dangerous Goods);\u2022co-operate with CEN (European Committee for Standardization) and ISO (International Organization for Standardization) to draft standards to govern our sector;establish and maintain working relations with the main European non-governmental organisations safeguarding and developing hunting and sport shooting;\u2022foster compatibility between the industry's requirements and the expectations of environmental protection bodies;\u2022promote mutual respect, dialogue and shared goals between the hunting and sport shooting community, decision-making bodies and public at large, to improve quality of life and to maximise economic benefits.", 'head_office_address': u'100\xa0Rue Th\xe9odore de Cuyper\xa0\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Brussels\xa01200\r\n BELGIUM', 'id': '131992710104-83', 'lobbying_expenditure': '', 'lobbying_section': 'II - In-house lobbyists and trade/professional associations', 'lobbying_subsection': 'Trade, business & professional associations', 'lobbyists_contact_position': 'Secretary General', 'name': u'Association des Fabricants Europ\xe9ens de Munitions de Sport', 'networking': 'AFEMS is affiliated to CEFIC, the European Chemical Industry Council, whose membership numbers 29,000 large, medium and small chemical companies in Europe, including some of the most high profile.

AEDH believes that this register fails basictransparency standards and that it does not provide EU lobbying transparency.When registering, we have therefore chosen to give all relevant information that we consider necessary for lobbying transparency. A credible EU lobbying transparency register should include names of individual lobbyists and the issues that they try to influence, provide precise and comparable financial information on lobbying, and have effective sanctions to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information disclosed. In an effort to arrive at a more objective way of calculating lobbying expenditures, we follow guidelines that result from consultations with public interest organisations, professionals working on lobby transparency as well as experts of US lobby disclosure legislation. Our registration is therefore providing a more comprehensive calculation of our expenses for activities that aim to influence the policy formulation and decision-making processes of the European institutions, and a list of those who, on behalf of AEDH, carry out such activities.Our registration is based on the guidelines for transparent registration developed by the Civil Society Contact Group and ALTER-EU.

The EMTPJ-project is an initiative of the Association for International Arbitration (AIA) that organises a new course on mediation in Europe for civil and commercial matters.

In addition, the organisation\u2019s book series represent a compilation of papers presented at the AIA\u2019s international conferences organised at least twice a year and serve to enhance the knowledge and understanding of ADR.The AIA\u2019s training and educational activities include the European Mediation Training for Practitioners of Justice (EMTPJ) which was brought to life in 2010 following a grant provided by the European Commission and a Qualifying Assessment Program (QAP) for mediators under the International Mediation Institute (IMI). The EMTPJ is a multicultural two-week training course which meets the different mediation criteria in EU member states and a number of international jurisdictions, thereby enabling successful participants to obtain appointments as mediators both within and outside Europe. It is open to all. On the other hand, the Association\u2019s Qualifying Assessment Program recognised by IMI, which also has a focus on cross-border mediation, caters specifically to experienced mediators with 200 hours mediation experience and 20 mediation cases.', 'head_office_address': u'146\xa0Avenue Louise\xa0\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Bruxelles\xa01050\r\n BELGIUM', 'id': '706841812575-39', 'lobbying_expenditure': '', 'lobbying_section': 'III - Non-governmental organisations', 'lobbying_subsection': 'Non-governmental organisations, platforms and networks and similar', 'lobbyists_contact_position': 'AIA Manager for arbitration projects', 'name': 'Association for International Arbitration', 'networking': '', 'num_natural_members': '7', 'num_org_members': '', 'org_members': '', 'register_url': 'http://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultation/displaylobbyist.do?id=706841812575-39', 'registration_date': '08/01/14 17:19:48', 'retrieved_at': '2014-12-03T06:09:16.088147', 'telephone': u'(+32)\xa02 643 33 07', 'update_date': '08/01/14 17:20:20'} ALIASES Fields of interest for e-mail alerts on consultations and roadmaps; {'activities': u'# Defend and promote the interests of the independent RIR sector;# Represent the RIR sector \u2013 inside and outside Europe - to professional users, public authorities and the RI community and the general public, by way of direct communication, open dialogue and transparency;# Develop, promote and maintain high professional standards, expertise and codes of conduct for the RIR sector;# Contribute - where this is in the interest of its Members - to the attainment of the European Union\u2019s aims in the field of CSR/SRI;# Provide the EU and EC authorities and institutions and national governments and authorities (including those beyond Europe) with means for ascertaining the quality and integrity of RIR products and services;# Strive to present co-ordinated views on appropriate policies and other issues to regulatory bodies, governments and other institutions relevant to the RIR professional sector;# Secure international validation and acceptance of the qualifications of RIR professionals;# Encourage the harmonization or development of concepts, definitions, norms and standards in the domain of SRI and CSRR, if and only when this serves its members and their clientele and when this improves the quality and credibility of the RIR profession;', 'area_of_interest': 'global', 'extra_financial_info': '', 'fax_number': '', 'financial_year': '01/2013\r\n - \r\n 12/2013', 'goals': u'Responsible Investment Research (RIR) organisations from across Europe have come together to form the Association for Responsible Investment Services (ARISE).The RIR sector continues to expand due to increasing popular interest throughout the world. At the same time pressure on RIR groups to raise quality and be transparent and professional has grown. ARISE, therefore, has been created to develop and promote high professional standards for organisations in the field.The roots of ARISE go back to 2004, when the AI CSRR - Association for Independent Corporate Sustainability and Responsibility Research - was founded as the first global professional trade association on sector level within the field of responsible investment research. The goal was to carry out the objectives of the European Union: to promote Corporate Social Responsibility throughout Europe, to stimulate convergence, transparency, accountability, objectivity and quality in RI research and to develop a professional quality standard for RI research.In the fast changing world of RI research, co-operation on a sector level and engagement with companies and asset managers is essential. ARISE aims to develop better tools and understanding and to improve the social impact of SRI. ARISE continues to put transparency, openness and accountability central to the CSR and RI agendas, providing the independent verification the sector requires in order to maintain and enhance its quality and credibility. This is achieved through the management of a voluntary quality standard, ARISTA 3.0\xae.ARISE owns and manages ARISTA 3.0\xae and its related instruments and processes and is responsible for organising the independent, external certification audits.The mission of ARISE is to:- Defend and promote the interests of the independent RI research (RIR) sector;- Represent the RIR sector \u2013 inside and outside Europe - to professional users, public authorities and the SRI community and the general public, by way of direct communication, open dialogue and transparency;- Develop, promote and maintain high professional standards, expertise and codes of conduct for the RIR sector;- Contribute - where this is in the interest of its Members - to the attainment of the European Union\u2019s aims in the field of CSR/SRI;- Provide the EU and EC authorities and institutions and national governments and authorities (including those beyond Europe) with means for ascertaining the quality and integrity of RIR products and services;- Strive to present co-ordinated views on appropriate policies and other issues to regulatory bodies, governments and other institutions relevant to the RIR professional sector;- Secure international validation and acceptance of the qualifications of RI professionals;- Encourage the harmonisation or development of concepts, definitions, norms and standards in the domain of RI and CSR research, if and only when this serves its members and their clientele and when this improves the quality and credibility of the RIR profession;- Protect the ownership of the quality standard ARISTA\xae and its related technical instruments for accountability and verification, to (co)manage its development and to promote it to and within the SRI community;- Be a network and venue for exchanging ideas and expertise and for discussion between professionals;- Improve co-operation, consulta tion and collaboration among the members of the association;- Collect information and study any matter which concerns its members;- Provide services for its members (information, advice, training, \u2026);- Cultivate and obtain reciprocal relations with kindred associations whether of a national or an international nature;- Organise all activities and other initiatives needed to achieve the objects mentioned above', 'head_office_address': u'333\xa0Rue du Progr\xe8s\xa0\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n P.O. box:\xa08\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Brussels\xa01030\r\n BELGIUM', 'id': '70271085323-71', 'lobbying_expenditure': '', 'lobbying_section': 'II - In-house lobbyists and trade/professional associations', 'lobbying_subsection': 'Trade, business & professional associations', 'lobbyists_contact_position': 'Voorzitter', 'name': 'Association for Responsible Investment Services', 'networking': u'Ecovalores Satnam AC - www.ecovalores.orgGreeneye - www.greeneye.co.ilKOCSR, KOREA CSR Research Service - www.ko-csr.comCAER, Corporate Analysis.

These values are rooted in the origin of the mutualist movement in the 19th century where people chose to go together and create health funds for their own protection. Nowadays mutual societies in Europe and some other mutual societies in the world fight to preserve these ideas also embodied in health protection bodies.ChallengesToday AIM reaffirms the validity of its values in front of challenges such as ageing of the population, the prevalence of chronic diseases, rising healthcare expenditure and changes in lifestyles.AIM members engage for:Cost-efficient and affordable health systems,Strengthened health mutual benefit societies,recognised as such for their value in social economy, Health protection for all without inequalities', 'head_office_address': u"50\xa0Rue d'Arlon\xa05th Floor\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Brussels\xa0B-1000\r\n BELGIUM", 'id': '595328413083-91', 'lobbying_expenditure': u'200000\r\n \xa0\u20ac - 250000\r\n \xa0\u20ac', 'lobbying_section': 'II - In-house lobbyists and trade/professional associations', 'lobbying_subsection': 'Trade, business & professional associations', 'lobbyists_contact_position': 'Project Manager', 'name': u'Association Internationale de la Mutualit\xe9', 'networking': '', 'register_url': 'http://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultation/displaylobbyist.do?id=595328413083-91', 'registration_date': '28/02/14 12:13:16', 'retrieved_at': '2014-12-03T06:09:17.746702', 'telephone': u'(+32)\xa02 234 57 00', 'update_date': '25/03/14 10:00:58'} ALIASES Fields of interest for e-mail alerts on consultations and roadmaps; {'activities': 'Chemicals, Environment and Consumer Safety.', 'area_of_interest': 'European', 'extra_financial_info': '', 'fax_number': '', 'financial_year': '01/2013\r\n - \r\n 12/2013', 'goals': 'A.I.S.E. seeks to play a proactive role in favour of Sustainability by running industry voluntary initiatives in this field.

To achieve this objective, it is a pre-requisite to make relevant stakeholders aware of the specific needs of people with autism, in all aspects of life. This is achieved by developing accessible information material and building better advocacy and campaigning skills among our members. The ultimate goal is to promote the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. As anti-discrimination is at the core of Autism-Europe\u2019s work, it is important that cross-cutting issues such as age, gender and race are also taken into consideration. These objectives can be achieved through a strong representative organisation. Therefore, improving the organisational capacity and management of Autism-Europe was one of the objectives of the PROGRESS 2013 work programme. This involved enlarging the membership and building the capacity of staff and member organisations to be effective in their roles. Another related objective was to increase the financial independence of Autism-Europe, by identifying alternative sources of funding.Key results \u2022\tAutism-Europe members cooperated on a transnational basis to discuss and coordinate their experiences and views on how to prevent discrimination and increase social inclusion of people in need of a high level of support at the EU level through the implementation of the UNCRPD. Autism-Europe has communicated our members\u2019 views via close cooperation with European Institutions including via consultations (in particular for the EDF alternative report on the implementation of the UNCRPD) and stakeholders meetings, as well as participation at various conferences (e.g. Presidency conference, European Day of People with Disabilities, etc).\u2022\tGoverning bodies meetings and study visits organised in San Sebastian and Brussels resulted in members sharing information on European and national initiatives, good practices and disability policies and legislation relevant to persons with autism, thus enhancing members\u2019 awareness of the added value of the European Union. Participation and involvement of self-advocates (persons with autism) in our activities was also increased. \u2022\tAutism-Europe held our tenth International Congress was held in Budapest, Hungary, in 2013, which increased awareness and knowledge of the rights of persons with autism throughout Europe, especially in Eastern Europe. The congress was organised in conjunction with the Hungarian Autistic Society, thus the three-year process of organising the conference enabled Autism-Europe to continue building capacity in the Eastern European countries by working closely with member organisations. \u2022\tThe profile of persons with autism has been raised on World Autism Awareness Day through involvement in global awareness-raising activities and in a common campaign \u201cAutism more common than you think\u201d by Autism-Europe and our members. \u2022\tExchange of information was ensured through training sessions and our LINK magazine and quarterly newsletters. These publications were made more engaging and accessible for our diverse audience. LINK magazine is widely disseminated among our membership and subscribers across Europe (including resource centres and libraries) as well as MEPs who have an interest in the field of disability. The special issue of the LINK to celebrate Autism-Europe\u2019s 30th anniversary was also an opportunity to celebrate the European Citizenship and the role of Disabled People Organisation to promote anti-discrimination in the European Union. \u2022\tAutism-Europe also actively cooperated with other European NGOs in 2013, such as the European Disability Forum, (of which Autism-Europe holds the vice-Presidency) and the European Year of Citizens Alliance, to advocate for the rights of people in need of a high level of support.', 'area_of_interest': 'European', 'countries': 'AUSTRIA;BELGIUM;CROATIA;CYPRUS;CZECH REPUBLIC;DENMARK;ESTONIA;FINLAND;FRANCE;GERMANY;GREECE;HUNGARY;IRELAND;ITALY;LATVIA;LUXEMBOURG;MALTA;NETHERLANDS;POLAND;PORTUGAL;ROMANIA;SLOVAKIA;SPAIN;SWEDEN;UNITED KINGDOM;ARMENIA;KUWAIT;MOROCCO;RUSSIA, FEDERATION OF;SERBIA;UKRAINE', 'extra_financial_info': '', 'fax_number': '', 'financial_year': '01/2013\r\n - \r\n 12/2013', 'goals': 'Autism-EuropeAutism-Europe is an international association whose objective is to advance the rights of people with autism spectrum disorders (autism, ASD) and their families, to help them improve their quality of life.

BirdLife Europe believes that this register does not meet basic transparency standards and that it does not provide EU lobbying transparency. When registering, we have therefore chosen to give all relevant information that we consider necessary for lobbying transparency. A credible EU lobbying transparency register should include names of individual lobbyists and the issues that they try to influence, provide precise and comparable financial information on lobbying, and have effective sanctions to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information disclosed. In an effort to arrive at a more objective way of calculating lobbying expenditures, we follow guidelines that result from consultations with public interest organisations, professionals working on lobby transparency as well as experts of US lobby disclosure legislation. Our registration is therefore providing a more comprehensive calculation of our lobbying expenses for activities that aim to influence the policy formulation and decision-making processes of the European Institutions, and a list of those who, on behalf of BirdLife International, European Division carry out such activities.Our registration is based on the guidelines for transparent registration developed by the Civil Society Contact Group and ALTER-EU.

In order to come to a sustainable economic growth, we cannot limit ourselves to the political or economic viabilities of the present.Across regional bordersEconomic activity does not stop at a region\'s border. That is why "Business Route 2018 for Metropolitan Brussels" developed a global vision for Brussels and its economic hinterland, to which belong the larger parts of the district of Halle-Vilvoorde and of the province of Walloon Brabant (district of Nivelles). This enlarged vision asks for a new approach, with more and better cooperation between the different governmental bodies involved, which is crucial for a sustainable growth in this area.An initiative originating from the business worldBrussels Business Route 2018 is an initiative from all four interprofessional employer federations: VOKA (Flanders), BECI (Brussels), UWE (Wallonia) and VBO-FEB (Belgium).The vision as well as the actual actionplans were developed in judicious negotiation with the sector federations and the business managers. By doing so, the business world unites in taking its own initiatives within one commonly shared vision. It goes without saying that we want the different governmental bodies to be closely involved in our project.Think, dare and act togetherFrom the perspective of the business community, Brussels-Capital Region and its immediate surroundings are strongly intertwined. They form a functional economic entity. Roughly speaking, Brussels, Halle-Vilvoorde and Walloon Brabant are considered to be one and the same economic metropolitan region \u2013 Brussels Metropolitan (BM).However, the development plans within this region are designed by different authorities, based on the opportunities and challenges identified in each jurisdiction. The plans and what is happening on the other side of the border are barely taken into account.BMR is in urgent need of an integrated vision for its long-term social-economic development. Why? Because this region is the economic driver for the entire nation. Because this region and the Brussels brand offer huge opportunities to the world economy which we should not throw away. Because we have to rise above everyday politics - every man for himself.', 'head_office_address': u'500\xa0Avenue Louise\xa0\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n P.O. box:\xa01050\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Bruxelles\xa01050\r\n BELGIUM', 'id': '997366112113-77', 'lobbying_expenditure': '', 'lobbying_section': 'IV - Think tanks, research and academic institutions', 'lobbying_subsection': 'Think tanks and research institutions', 'lobbyists_contact_position': 'Intendand', 'name': 'Brussels Metropolitan', 'networking': '', 'num_natural_members': '4', 'num_org_members': '4', 'org_members': u'FEB/VBO\xa0(50,000\xa0members);BECI\xa0(35,000\xa0members);Voka\xa0(18,000\xa0members);UWE\xa0(6,000\xa0members)', 'register_url': 'http://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultation/displaylobbyist.do?id=997366112113-77', 'registration_date': '22/10/13 16:57:12', 'retrieved_at': '2014-12-03T06:10:36.878407', 'telephone': u'(+32)\xa0475484810', 'update_date': '26/09/14 09:10:15'} ALIASES Fields of interest for e-mail alerts on consultations and roadmaps; {'activities': 'Employment and Social Affairs, Internal Market, Industry and Research, Legal Affairs and Constitutional Affairs.', 'area_of_interest': 'national', 'extra_financial_info': '', 'fax_number': '', 'financial_year': '01/2013\r\n - \r\n 12/2013', 'goals': 'The aim of the Brussels Office of the Swedish Trade Unions is to support the work of the national central confederations and their affiliates in relation to promoting European integration.', 'head_office_address': u'15\xa0Avenue de Tervueren\xa0\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Brussels\xa01040\r\n BELGIUM', 'id': '69927546143-06', 'lobbying_expenditure': '', 'lobbying_section': 'II - In-house lobbyists and trade/professional associations', 'lobbying_subsection': 'Trade unions', 'lobbyists_contact_position': 'Director', 'name': 'Brussels Office of the Swedish Trade Unions', 'networking': 'The Swedish Trade Union Confederations are members of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC).', 'register_url': 'http://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultation/displaylobbyist.do?id=69927546143-06', 'registration_date': '05/07/11 11:37:34', 'retrieved_at': '2014-12-03T06:10:37.711218', 'telephone': u'(+32)\xa027321800', 'update_date': '10/06/14 09:35:16'} ALIASES Fields of interest for e-mail alerts on consultations and roadmaps; {'activities': u"r\xe9daction de r\xe9ponses \xe0 des consultations publiques li\xe9es aux services financiers de type retail ainsi qu'au th\xe9matiques li\xe9es \xe0 l'acc\xe8s au plus grand nombre des services financiers.", 'area_of_interest': 'sub-national;national;European;global', 'countries': 'BELGIUM;DENMARK;FRANCE;GERMANY;ITALY;LUXEMBOURG;NETHERLANDS;SPAIN;UNITED KINGDOM;UNITED STATES', 'extra_financial_info': '', 'fax_number': '', 'financial_year': '09/2012\r\n - \r\n 09/2013', 'goals': u'BUBEBA is an initiative who has the particularity of being run by professionals of the consumer finance and the banking industry.

In 2013 our members include 40 well respected, independent national consumer organisations from some thirty European countries. BEUC acts as a sort of \u201cembassy\u201d for these organisations in Brussels and our main task is to represent our members and defend the interests of all Europe\u2019s consumers. Through BEUC, the national consumer organisations are able to speak out with one voice. BEUC is committed to transparency about EU interest representation. BEUC believes that this register fails basic transparency standards and that it does not provide EU lobbying transparency. When registering, we have therefore chosen to give all relevant information that we consider nece ssary for lobbying transparency. A credible EU lobbying transparency register should include names of individual lobbyists and the issues that they try to influence, provide precise and comparable financial information on lobbying, and have effective sanctions to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information disclosed. In an effort to arrive at a more objective way of calculating lobbying expenditures, we follow guidelines that result from consultations with public interest organisations, professionals working on lobby transparency as well as experts of US lobby disclosure legislation. Our registration is therefore providing a more comprehensive calculation of our lobbying expenses, and a list of those who, on behalf of BEUC, carry out activities with the objective of influencing the policy formulation and decision-making processes of the European institutions.

We are a multicultural and stable team with significant experience advising clients on all EU policy areas, including inter alia, competition, employment, development environment, food, healthcare, energy and transport. For more information see: www.burson-marsteller.be', 'extra_financial_info': u'Burson-Marsteller Brussels has tried to take a very responsible approach to its ETI registration. Outlined below are the details of the approach taken.To determine our total turnover linked to lobbying the EU institutions we:1.started with our total fee revenue from 20132.deducted all revenue generated by services completely unrelated to the EU institutions (e.g. Belgian public relations or international communications work) or which involved absolutely no contacts with any official or politician of an EU institution3.deducted revenue generated by lobbying EU member state governments where it was distinctly identifiable as such (as we understand the Commission has said this is not covered by the register).4. We have also excluded from our list of clients those for whom we have worked exclusively on EU competition cases, as the Commission has suggested a specific exclusion for them.The resulting figure became our total lobbying revenue for the purposes of the register. In total our approach has excluded from registration some \u20ac 2.422 million (ie. approximately 23 per cent of revenue). Given the absence of detailed rules from the European Commission, we have had to make judgments in many cases about what was and was not EU lobbying \u2013 especially when we do both EU lobbying and other kinds of work for the same client. Generally, we have imposed a very wide interpretation of what should be considered lobbying. If we were helping a client to engage with the EU institutions on an issue, we have generally counted all our efforts as lobbying (preparation, intelligence gathering, strategic advice, implementing contacts, designing advocacy advertising, etc) even if some aspects of the work could be excluded from registration based on informal guidance provided by the European Commission and/or Parliament. Consequently, we believe we have reported more revenue from lobbying than a strict interpretation of such guidance might require. Since September 2013 B-M has introduced new clients into the register immediately once a contract is signed. We will continue to update the overall amount of turnover linked to representing interests to EU institutions each year, once accounts are finalised and submitted.', 'fax_number': u'Karen MassinCEO,BrusselsBurson-Marsteller37, Square de Mee\xfbsB-1000 BrusselsBelgiumTelephone +32 2 743 66 11Fax +32 2 733 66 11Email: bmbrussels@bm.comWebsite: http://burson-marsteller.be/', 'financial_year': '01/2013\r\n - \r\n 12/2013', 'goals': u'As part of one of the world\u2019s leading public relations and public affairs companies, we benefit from the knowledge, experience and insights of colleagues from the world-wide Burson-Marsteller network, which spans 110 countries around the world.

Since then the CCRN has elaborated various positions concerning Cohesion Policy. Capital cities and regions, because of their complexity, the role they play as motors of growth and the sub-regional disparities they face, are unquestionably laboratories for territorial cohesion. Capital Cities and Regions are at the forefront of cultural, economic, and political activity in the EU Member States. At the same time, they face social and economic disparities where extreme poverty, social exclusion and wealth coexist.

Communication takes place with the European Commission\u2019s Directorates General on Development (DG DEVCO) which formulates development polic and implements it; and on humanitarian crises (ECHO). We also work in close contact with the European Members of Parliament (MEPs). Efforts to influence policies of individual Member States are done in collaboration with CARE International members in the EU countries concerned. CARE International is committed to transparency about EU interest representation. CARE International believes that this register fails basic transparency standards and that it does not provide EU lobbying transparency. When registering, we have therefore chosen to give all relevant information that we consider necessary for lobbying transparency. A credible EU lobbying transparency register should include names of individual lobbyists and the issues that they try to influence, provide precise and comparable financial information on lobbying, and have effective sanctions to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information disclosed. In an effort to arrive at a more objective way of calculating lobbying expenditures, we follow guidelines that result from consultations with public interest organisations, professionals working on lobby transparency as well as experts of US lobby disclosure legislation. Our registration is therefore providing a more comprehensive calculation of our expenses for activities that aim to influence the policy formulation and decision-making processes of the European institutions, and a list of those who, on behalf of CARE International, carry out out such activities.Our registration is based on the guidelines for transparent registration developed by the Civil Society Contact Group and ALTER-EU.

It was established as a network to provide the voice for the non-profit sector at the European level on specific issues which are common to all non-profit organisations and associations. For many years CEDAG has closely followed policy developments in the area of social policy, but over the last few years this focus area has been prioritised even further.CEDAG\u2019s members are national and regional umbrella bodies, involved in social fields of activities such as education, citizenship, culture, social and health issues, environmental issues, consumer protection and sport, uniting a big number of organisations with millions of members and, taking into account the informal networks with the new Member States, this number is likely to be multiplied.This specific membership group works actively on policy development in both the social policy and civil dialogue fields.

CIDSE\u2019s main activities:-\tSupport of the Financial Transaction Tax (FTT): a lobby work together with other civil society organisations in order to underline that FTT proposal is meant to discourage overly risky transactions on financial markets, to complement regulatory measures aimed at avoiding future crises and to ensure 'even taxation of the sector vis-a-vis other sectors.-\tWork on European Union budget for 2014-20: Early in 2011, CIDSE identified the discussion on \u201cown resources\u201d for the future EU budget \u2013 raised in parallel to Member States\u2019 contributions from national budgets \u2013 as an opportunity to push the FTT. Financial sector taxation (FTT or Financial Activity Tax) was one of six options listed by the Commission for study. CIDSE pressed its arguments on the FTT in every meeting with the European Commission and Parliament, in particular with key officials responsible for climate and budgetary matters, as well as through CONCORD\u2019s position.-\tAdvocacy pressure to implement legislation requiring Multinational Companies to disclose their accounts on a country-by-country basis received a boost by draft legislation in the US which would require companies registered in the country to disclose accounts of their operations on a country-by-country basis. While the US company disclosure rule stalled, CIDSE supported efforts of the Publish What You Pay Coalition and Tax Justice Network to follow the US example and include Country-by-Country Reporting (CBCR) requirements in EU rules (the Transparency Obligation Directive and the Accounting Directives) that were open for review this year. While many of our demands for full disclosure (rather than only payments of companies to governments) and of all sorts of companies (rather than only extractive and timber companies) have still not been met, the current EU proposal is an important step in imposing mandatory requirements on companies to increase their transparency.-\tCIDSE contributions to the EU and global reflection on Growth and Development \u2013 A milestone of this reflection was the CIDSE conference organized on 13/14 September 2011 \u2018Towards a New Paradigm for Human and Sustainable Development\u2019. The conference was meant to take a concrete step in meeting the challenge of bringing about fundamental change that is sustainable, human, just and leads to positive changes particularly for poor people and communities. It built on a debate at Directors level but also involving Programme staff and the work of CIDSE\u2019s member organisations and southern partners. The conference facilitated the exchange between about 70 participants of CIDSE Member Organisations. With an attendance of another 100 persons on the conference\u2019s public panel, the event successfully attracted significant levels of attention beyond its constituency. During the two days of the event, contributions were made not only by CIDSE member organisations but also by external leading experts, decision makers, civil society representatives, Southern partners and Church leaders. Fruitful discussions led to a set of headline outcomes which will be taken forward in the different areas of our work. The starting point is a plea to question economic growth and an appeal to come up with an alternative model of GDP growth which accounts for social and non-material aspects of well-being. It was further specified that putting alternative models in place will need changes in various respects. It would necessarily require that we move out of our 'comfort-zones' and put forward a prophetic vision, acting as part of a global community of change.", 'area_of_interest': 'global', 'countries': 'AUSTRIA;BELGIUM;FRANCE;GERMANY;IRELAND;ITALY;LUXEMBOURG;NETHERLANDS;PORTUGAL;SLOVAKIA;SPAIN;UNITED KINGDOM;CANADA;SWITZERLAND;UNITED STATES', 'extra_financial_info': '', 'fax_number': '', 'financial_year': '01/2012\r\n - \r\n 12/2012', 'goals': u'CIDSE is an international alliance of development agencies working together for global justice. 17 lay-led catholic development organisations from Europe & North America, inspired by shared Christian values, come together under the CIDSE umbrella to promote global justice and solidarity. Central to CIDSE\u2019s policy formulation and advocacy is its member organisations\u2019 work with local partner organisations in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Contributing to the fight against poverty and inequality, as well as bringing about sustainable development and well-being by challenging global structural injustices are key elements of CIDSE\u2019s mission, which we attempt to achieve through joint advocacy, campaigning and development cooperation work. Our current priority issues are global governance; resources for development; food, agriculture & sustainable trade; climate justice; and business & human rights.CIDSE\u2019s goals could be summarised in two big and interconnected areas: advocacy and campaigning activities and development co-operation work.CIDSE\u2019s main areas of work:Global Governance - Poor countries with little political influence and economic power continue to be marginalised in global decision-making. We advocate for institutional reform which will allow the United Nations \u2013where all countries have an equal voice \u2013 to play a key role in global economic governance. Global finance and economic policymaking must be brought into line with UN Human Rights Declarations and Conventions and needs to serve the poorest and most vulnerable people.Resources for Development - We work for the creation of international policy and structures which would lead to the increase in urgently needed resources for Southern-driven development. We urge governments to honour their financial commitments and lobby for innovative measures to raise additional money. We also seek to increase revenues in developing countries, countering illegal financial outflows through, for example, tax evasion by individuals and multinationals. Food, Agriculture and Sustainable Trade - We strive for an environmental policy based on the protection and promotion of the ri ght to access to affordable, nutritious, culturally appropriate food. Promoting food security, sustainable agricultural production and livelihood opportunities for men and women living in poverty are therefore cornerstones of our agenda. We believe small-scale farmers and rural sectors in the South must be supported and strengthened to eradicate poverty and hunger.Climate Justice - We believe strongly that climate change is not only an environmental matter, but equally a development and a justice issue. Increased climate variability and the increasing frequency and intensity of natural disasters brought about by climate change are repeatedly destroying lives and livelihoods of vulnerable communities who have done the least to cause it. We advocate for effective and equitable policies that significantly reduce global greenhouse gas emissions and support developing countries to adapt to the impacts of climate change and pursue sustainable development paths.Business & Human Rights - We call on governments and the international community to ensure businesses respect human rights and the environment in their operations, meet standards of transparency and are held to account when they become complicit in violations.', 'head_office_address': u'16\xa0rue Stevin\xa0\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Brussels\xa01000\r\n BELGIUM', 'id': '61263518557-92', 'lobbying_expenditure': u'300000\r\n \xa0\u20ac - 350000\r\n \xa0\u20ac', 'lobbying_section': 'III - Non-governmental organisations', 'lobbying_subsection': 'Non-governmental organisations, platforms and networks and similar', 'lobbyists_contact_position': 'Policy and Advocacy Officer on EU development Policy', 'name': 'CIDSE - International Alliance of Catholic development agencies', 'networking': 'CIDSE is member of CONCORD, CLIMATE ACTION NETWORK, ECUMENICAL ADVOCACY ALLIANCE.', 'num_natural_members': '0', 'num_org_members': '', 'org_members': '', 'register_url': 'http://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultation/displaylobbyist.do?id=61263518557-92', 'registration_date': '11/04/12 18:01:24', 'retrieved_at': '2014-12-03T06:11:46.232755', 'telephone': u'(+32)\xa022307722', 'update_date': '10/04/14 13:14:42'} ALIASES Fields of interest for e-mail alerts on consultations and roadmaps; {'activities': 'the subject matter of the lobbying are any regulatory issues that pertain to the tobacco industry and where Cimabel can play a useful complementary role to the role played by CECCM', 'area_of_interest': 'national', 'extra_financial_info': '', 'fax_number': 'Cimabel is the trade organisation of the Belgian and Luxembourg cigarette manufacturers.

A credible EU lobbying transparency register should include names of individual lobbyists and the issues that they try to influence, provide precise and comparable financial information on lobbying and have effective sanctions to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information disclosed.

A freight forwarder is the real master of the supply and value chain. He crafts logistic solutions that satisfy both production and consumption, both supply and demand and makes sure their expectations are satisfied, ensures that goods move from the point of origin to reach their final destination at the right place, at the right time and in good shape. For this purpose, freight forwarders utilise the entire and complex logistic infrastructure with a totally unprejudiced and cost-efficient approach. Freight forwarders do not privilege any means of transport or transport infrastructure as such, although some may own a great many equipment and infrastructure. Customs agents are on the other hand the real experts of international trade and its subtleties, ensuring that our borders do not allow for fraud and infringement, in close contact with competent Authorities Our members voice the interests of more than 19.000 companies employing in excess of 1.000.000 staff. In rough figures European freight forwarders and Customs agents clear 95% of all goods in Europe and handle 65% of the cargo transported by road, 95% of the cargo transported by air and 65% of the maritime. CLECAT also plays a major role in rail and inland waterways. Intermodal transport, extensive use of IT and dedicated terminals and warehouses are the main tools our members use to address customers' requirements. CLECAT also works in close cooperation with FIATA, the World Federation of Freight Forwarders and is the exclusive voice of our sector on European issues. CLECAT promotes the activity and defends the interests of its members in connection with a large number of institutional and non-institutional counterparts.

CAN Europe believes that this register fails basic transparency standards and that it does not provide EU lobbying transparency. When registering, we have therefore chosen to give all relevant information that we consider necessary for lobbying transparency. A credible EU lobbying transparency register should include names of individual lobbyists and the issues that they try to influence, provide precise and comparable financial information on lobbying, and have effective sanctions to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information disclosed. In an effort to arrive at a more objective way of calculating lobbying expenditures, we follow guidelines that result from consultations with public interest organisations, professionals working on lobby transparency as well as experts of US lobby disclosure legislation. Our registration is therefore providing a more comprehensive calculation of our expenses for activities that aim to influence the policy formulation and decision-making processes of the European institutions, and a list of those who, on behalf of CAN Europe, carry out such activities.

Cette attention doit se manifester en premier lieu au travers de l\u2019orientation des politiques commerciales, agricoles et de coop\xe9ration, en consid\xe9rant si ces politiques soutiennent les exploitations familiales au travers des instruments ad\xe9quats (r\xe9gulation des march\xe9s, financement des investissements et programmes sp\xe9cifiques).MissionsLe CSA veut promouvoir l\u2019agriculture durable et la s\xe9curit\xe9 alimentaire par le renforcement des OP et la promotion de la souverainet\xe9 alimentaire dans les diff\xe9rentes r\xe9gions du monde.Le renforcement des OP rev\xeat une importance capitale pour le d\xe9veloppement des pays pauvres.

It brings together more than 70 members - European railway undertakings, their national associations as well as infrastructure companies. The membership is made up of long-established bodies, new entrants and both private and public enterprises. CER members represent about 61% of the rail network length, more than 84% of the rail freight business and about 99% of rail passenger operations in EU, EFTA and EU accession countries.CER is based in Brussels and represents its members\u2019 interests vis-\xe0-vis the European Parliament, Commission and Council of Ministers as well as other policy makers and transport actors. CER\u2019s main focus is promoting the strengthening of rail as essential to the creation of a sustainable transport system which is efficient, effective and environmentally sound. Within this framework, a key priority is the achievement of a more balanced modal split in the transport system, eliminating high external costs to society and improving economic efficiency. In parallel to the railways\u2019 own initiatives for improving the quality of rail services, CER sees mobilising adequate investments in rail infrastructure as a prerequisite for achieving a sustainable modal split. CER\u2019s portfolio covers all policy areas with a potential impact on railway transport offering advice and recommendations to European policy makers. Its interests span the whole spectrum of European transport policy: infrastructure planning, passenger and freight services, public service, the environment, research and development and social dialogue. In close cooperation with its members, CER monitors and evaluates the implementation of policies. In permanent dialogue with policy makers it proposes calibration of legislation to address remaining problems. Two railway companies from outside the immediate European area (Georgia and Japan) have become CER partners, opening up cross-fertilisation opportunities on best practices and lessons learned with other regions.', 'head_office_address': u'53\xa0Avenue des Arts\xa0\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Brussels\xa01000\r\n BELGIUM', 'id': '7574621118-27', 'lobbying_expenditure': u'1250000\r\n \xa0\u20ac - 1500000\r\n \xa0\u20ac', 'lobbying_section': 'II - In-house lobbyists and trade/professional associations', 'lobbying_subsection': 'Trade, business & professional associations', 'lobbyists_contact_position': 'Executive Director', 'name': 'Community of European Railway and Infrastructure Companies', 'networking': 'Member of European Rail Circle, of Rail Forum Europe and of CLECAT.', 'register_url': 'http://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultation/displaylobbyist.do?id=7574621118-27', 'registration_date': '02/07/08 12:05:07', 'retrieved_at': '2014-12-03T06:12:15.546547', 'telephone': u'(+32)\xa022130870', 'update_date': '02/07/14 10:32:12'} ALIASES Fields of interest for e-mail alerts on consultations and roadmaps; {'activities': 'Community Public Affairs provides public affairs and strategic communication services to organisations willing to develop their presence at the heart of the European Union (EU) and/or establish a constructive dialogue with institutions and stakeholders contributing to the EU policy-making to maximise their business operations.

Our collections comprise an estimated 1.5 billion specimens, and more than 80% of the World\u2019s described species. The collections themselves contain specimens of animals, plants, rocks or genetic resources that are used for scientific research and for exhibitions. Owing to these collections, CETAF collectively represents an unprecedented resource for scientific research across the globe acting as the custodian of our common human heritage. CETAF member institutions dedicate themselves to both the preservation of this rich heritage as well as to its promotion through scientific research and public outreach.Taxonomy is a science that is fundamental to the understanding of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. It explores and documents the natural world at different levels (species, genera, families, orders), and allows researchers to understand evolutionary events and reconstruct the history of life on earth. Taxonomic research is also the scientific pillar that supports a variety of other disciplines ranging from biology and ecology, to industries such as forestry and fisheries, eco-tourism and pharmaceutics; it also contributes to agricultural development, understanding the impacts of climate change, and to the alleviation of poverty, amongst many other societal challenges.Beyond hosting major European collections, and housing research centres of excellence in taxonomy, CETAF provides a platform for researchers from a wide variety of scientific disciplines who carry out pioneering research and develop innovative knowledge exchange pathways.

Corporate Europe Observatory believes that the Transparency Register fails basic transparency standards and does not yet live up to its name. We support ALTER-EU's demand for a mandatory nature of the register, safeguards against underreporting, and publication of the names of all individual interest representatives.When registering, we have therefore chosen to provide additional information that we consider necessary and relevant for lobbying transparency. A credible EU lobbying transparency register should include names of individual lobbyists and the issues that they try to influence, provide precise and comparable financial information on lobbying, and have effective monitoring and sanctions to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information disclosed. In an effort to arrive at a more objective way of calculating lobbying expenditures, we follow guidelines that result from consultations with public interest organisations, professionals working on lobby transparency as well as experts of US lobby disclosure legislation. Our registration is therefore providing a more comprehensive calculation of our expenses for activities that aim toinfluence the policy formulation and decision-making processes of the European institutions, and a list of those who, on behalf of Corporate Europe Observatory, carry out such activities. Our registration is based on the guidelines for transparent registration developed by the Civil Society Contact Group and ALTER-EU.

IntroductionThe Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe (CCBE) represents the bars and law societies of 32 member countries and 11 further associate and observer countries, and through them more than 1 million European lawyers.The CCBE was founded in 1960, as the ramifications of the European Economic Community on the legal profession started to be seriously considered (see the CCBE\u2019s History). During the decades which followed and through to the present day, the CCBE has been in the forefront of advancing the views of European lawyers and defending the legal principles upon which democracy and the rule of law are based. The CCBE is an international non-profit-making association incorporated in Belgium.The CCBE is recognised as the voice of the European legal profession by the national bars and law societies on the one hand, and by the EU institutions on the other. It acts as the liaison between the EU and Europe's national bars and law societies. The CCBE has regular institutional contacts with those European Commission officials, and members and staff of the European Parliament, who deal with issues affecting the legal profession . Its current strategy can be found here.In addition, the CCBE works closely with legal organisations outside Europe.II.\tObjectives:A non-profit making organisation, the CCBE represents European bars and law societies in their common dealings before European and other international institutions.A particular feature of the CCBE's work is its focus on European cross-border matters as they affect lawyers.

CEEMET members are responsible for representing the social policy and industrial relations\' interests of the metal companies in the country concerned, and, where so existing, for the conclusion of the collective agreements in the metal industry. CEEMET has the Australian Industry Group (Ai Group) and SEIFSA from South Africa as associated Members. CEEMET also has contacts with cross-industry employers\u2019 organisations in countries where no employer organisation of the metal, engineering and technology-based industries exist and here in particular in the new EU Member States, such as SP of the Czech Republic, MGYOSZ of Hungary, PKPP and KPP of Poland. The member organisations of CEEMET cover -in principle- the entire range of sectors of the manufacturing industries, including \u2022 Basic Metals \u2022 Fabricated Metal Goods \u2022 Mechanical Engineering \u2022 Electrical and Electronical Industry \u2022 ICT Industries \u2022 Medical, precision and optical instruments, watches etc. \u2022 Transportation Means (automobile, ship, aircraft) \u2022 Instrument Engineering. Some national member organisations also cover the metal producing industries (iron and steel) or parts of it foundries. Altogether, the CEEMET Members represent about 200,000 member companies employing up to 35 million workers. The objectives as laid down in the statutes of CEEMET are \u201cto promote the exchange of information among its members on all social issues which directly affect interests of these industries. It is also to facilitate concerted views and the formulation of statements on matters of common interest. In achieving these purposes the Association may make such representation to international organisations as is required." CEEMET activities and tasks are based on two pillars: - the exchange and structural documentation of national information on industrial relations, labour law or training matters in the metal and electrical industry - the follow-up of European matters, including lobbying on dossiers of particular interest to our industry. CEEMET follows the wide spectrum of social policy affairs via different Groups and Committees which meet regularly and deal with matters on - "Industrial and Employee Relations", - "European Union" - covering labour law and social protection - "Education, Training and Employability" - "Health and Safety" and - "Socio-Economic Trends".

From the total population of Germany, about 23.4 million belong to one of the 16.100 parishes. The Representative of the Council of the Protestant Church in Germany constitutes the diplomatic wing and therefore represents the protestant Church in Germany to the Republic of Germany and the EU. To this end, two offices in Berlin and in Brussels exist, the Brussels Office being in charge of the representation to the EU-Institutions.EKD is a member of the Conference of European Churches (CEC), the Community of Protestant Churches in Europe (CPCE) and the World Council of Churches (WCC).In 1990 the Protestant Church in Germany established the liaison-office at the seat of the EU institutions. Since May 2008, Senior Church Counsel Katrin Hatzinger has been Head of the "Brussels Office". Brussels staff monitors EU legislative proceedings and represents the interests and positions of the church vis-\xe0-vis the Institutions on themes relevant to its public mission; i.e. ethics and the protection of human dignity. These can be relevant in policy areas like the European asylum and migration policy, European research policy, the primacy of civilian aspects in conflict resolution, foreign, security and development policies, and the enhancement of religious freedom and fundamental rights within the EU and in its external relations, including EU enlargement. Furthermore, the Brussels Office represents the institutional interests of the German Protest Church.The Brussels Office is also an information agency for EKD, its member churches and church based organizations. Every third month, the newsletter "Europa-Informationen" is published. It reports, from a church perspective, on current political developments.

These targets are to reduce energy consumption by 20%, reduce CO2 emissions by 20% and provide 20% of the total energy share with renewable energy.In order to help the construction industry reach the 20/20 targets and achieve energy neutral buildings and districts by 2050 the European Construction Technology Platform has set up the Energy Efficient Building European Initiative (E2B EI), steered by the Energy Efficient Buildings Association (E2BA) founded in November 2008.This is a Europe wide industry driven research and demonstration programme for energy efficient buildings and districts, with the ambitious vision that all European buildings will be designed, built or renovated to high energy efficiency standards by 2050.The overall vision of the Energy Efficient Buildings European Initiative (E2B EI) is to deliver, implement and optimise building and district concepts that have the technical, economic and societal potential to drastically decrease energy consumption and reduce CO2 emissions in both new and existing buildings across the European Union (EU).The E2B EI will increase the level of research into key technologies and develop a competitive industry in the fields of energy efficient construction processes, products and services. With the outcomes of this research we will be equipped to address climate change and improve EU energy independence.The E2B EI will work to achieve the following objectives: - deliver high quality, cost effective research that secures confidence from industry, public and private investors, decision-makers and other stakeholders- leverage further industrial, national and regional RTD investment- build close cooperation with research being carried out at national and regional levels- enable the market entry of energy efficiency technologies, allowing commercial market forces to drive the associated public benefits- place Europe at the forefront of energy efficient buildings and district technologies worldwide- focus on achieving long-term sustainability and industrial competitive targets for cost, performance and durability aimed to overcome critical technology problem areas- stimulate innovation and the emergence of new value chains including SMEs- facilitate the interaction between industry, universities and research centres- encourage the participation of the new Member States and candidate countries- perform broadly conceived socio-techno economic research aimed to assess and monitor technological progress- target non-technical barriers to leverage markets and carry out research modes to support the development of new regulations- review existing standards to eliminate artificial barriers to markets- provide reliable information to the general public on the benefits of new technologies to the environment, security of supply, energy costs and employment', 'head_office_address': u"63-67\xa0Rue d'Arlon\xa0\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n BRUSSELS\xa0B-1040\r\n BELGIUM", 'id': '65181795720-05', 'lobbying_expenditure': u'300000\r\n \xa0\u20ac - 350000\r\n \xa0\u20ac', 'lobbying_section': 'III - Non-governmental organisations', 'lobbying_subsection': 'Non-governmental organisations, platforms and networks and similar', 'lobbyists_contact_position': 'Secretary General', 'name': 'Energy Efficient Buildings Association', 'networking': 'The Energy Efficient Building European Initiative (E2B EI) is steered by the Energy Efficient Buildings Association (E2BA) founded in November 2008, under the umbrella of the European Construction Technology Platform.', 'num_natural_members': '0', 'num_org_members': '', 'org_members': '', 'register_url': 'http://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultation/displaylobbyist.do?id=65181795720-05', 'registration_date': '22/04/11 16:53:41', 'retrieved_at': '2014-12-03T06:13:56.061704', 'telephone': u'(+33)\xa04 93 95 64 00', 'update_date': '18/11/14 14:51:11'} ALIASES Fields of interest for e-mail alerts on consultations and roadmaps;

Our network provides its services annually to about 150.000 international students in Europe and beyond, at a local, national and international level.The local sections support educational, social and cultural integration of exchange students, as well as provide practical information for incoming and outgoing students about the exchange programmes and about the possibilities of the reintegration.The international level of ESN (especially the International Board based in Brussels and the Council of National Representatives) brings all our members, sections and countries together, thus creates one common voice representing mobile students on the European continent, in Azerbaijan and Turkey.Since 1989, Erasmus Student Network works for the creation of a more mobile and flexible education environment by supporting and developing the student exchange from different levels, and providing an intercultural experience also to those students who cannot access a period abroad ("internationalisation at home").ESN also represents needs, rights and expectations of international students in the fields of higher education and mobility towards policy- and decision makers.', 'head_office_address': u'15\xa0Rue Hydraulique\xa0\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Brussels\xa01210\r\n BELGIUM', 'id': '45445593026-68', 'lobbying_expenditure': u'350000\r\n \xa0\u20ac - 400000\r\n \xa0\u20ac', 'lobbying_section': 'III - Non-governmental organisations', 'lobbying_subsection': 'Non-governmental organisations, platforms and networks and similar', 'lobbyists_contact_position': 'President', 'name': 'Erasmus Student Network', 'networking': "- Member of the European Youth Forum (YFJ)- Participatory status with the Council of Europe- Courtesy member of the European Association for International Education (EAIE)- Member of Informal Forum of International Student Organisation (IFISO)- Member of EUCIS-LLL- Associate member of the European Students' Union (ESU)", 'num_natural_members': '12,000', 'num_org_members': '36', 'org_members': u'ESN Austria\xa0(18\xa0members);ESN Azerbaijan\xa0(1\xa0members);ESN Belgium\xa0(8\xa0members);ESN Bosnia and Herzegovina\xa0(1\xa0members);ESN Bulgaria\xa0(5\xa0members);ESN Croatia\xa0(2\xa0members);ESN Cyprus\xa0(1\xa0members);ESN Czech Republic\xa0(11\xa0members);ESN Denmark\xa0(4\xa0members);ESN Estonia\xa0(5\xa0members);ESN Finland\xa0(16\xa0members);ESN France\xa0(22\xa0members);ESN F.Y.R.O.M.\xa0(4\xa0members);ESN Georgia\xa0(2\xa0members);ESN Germany\xa0(25\xa0members);ESN Greece\xa0(12\xa0members);ESN Hungary\xa0(13\xa0members);ESN Iceland\xa0(1\xa0members);ESN Ireland\xa0(2\xa0members);ESN Italy\xa0(44\xa0members);ESN Latvia\xa0(1\xa0members);ESN Lithuania\xa0(10\xa0members);ESN Malta\xa0(1\xa0members);ESN Netherlands\xa0(15\xa0members);ESN Norway\xa0(8\xa0members);ESN Poland\xa0(34\xa0members);ESN Portugal\xa0(6\xa0members);ESN Romania\xa0(6\xa0members);ESN Serbia\xa0(2\xa0members);ESN Slovakia\xa0(10\xa0members);ESN Slovenia\xa0(5\xa0members);ESN Spain\xa0(33\xa0members);ESN Sweden\xa0(12\xa0members);ESN Switzerland\xa0(13\xa0members);ESN Turkey\xa0(30\xa0members);ESN United Kingdom\xa0(13\xa0members)', 'register_url': 'http://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultation/displaylobbyist.do?id=45445593026-68', 'registration_date': '14/01/10 19:48:25', 'retrieved_at': '2014-12-03T06:14:00.829079', 'telephone': u'(+32)\xa022567427', 'update_date': '18/12/13 10:54:24'} ALIASES Fields of interest for e-mail alerts on consultations and roadmaps; {'activities': 'Contacts with interests affected by EU legislation', 'extra_financial_info': '', 'fax_number': '', 'financial_year': '01/2013\r\n - \r\n 01/2014', 'goals': "Casajoana Consulting was founded by Erika Casajoana in Washington, DC in February 2004 to provide public affairs, political and media training services and strategic communications advice to campaigns, corporations and organizations for an optimal use of mass media to reach targeted audiences.

The survey is one of a series within the EU\'s cross-sector benchmarking activities comparing national progress to i2010 and EU2020 goals, and it is the first Europe-wide survey of schools\' ICT for six years, following Europe 2002 and EU2005 surveys. European Schoolnet has further coordinated the European e-Skills Week 2012 and 2014 campaigns, an initiative promoted by the DG Enterprise & Industry under the e-Skills for the 21st Century strategy (Pillar VI, Action 58: Develop a framework to recognise ICT skills). Coordinated in collaboration with DIGITALEUROPE (ICT industry association) and with the support of a network of national support services (industry and education stakeholders), the campaign aimed to highlight the demand for skilled ICT users and professionals, and to inform students, young professionals and SMEs about the opportunities that ICT-related jobs present. European Schoolnet is further contributing to the DA initiative Better Internet for Kids by coordinating Insafe, a EU network of Awareness Centres, co-funded by DG Connect under the Safer Internet Programme (2009-2013), with the objective of promoting safe, responsible use of the Internet and mobile devices to young people. During the Safer Internet Day 2012, organised by Insafe and with the participation of the Commission Vice President Neelie Kroes, EUN has launched the \u2018eSafety Label\u2019, a Europe-wide accreditation and support service for schools, set up to develop and maintain high standards of eSafety.During autumn 2012 European Schoolnet has participated in the consultation on "Opening up Education \u2013 a proposal for a European Initiative to enhance education and skills development through new technologies", launched by the DG Education and Culture.Regular contacts with the Commission are pursued under major EU funded projects and services coordinated by EUN, among which:\u2022\tScientix: community for science education in Europe, which collects teaching and research materials from projects financed by the EU 6th and 7th Framework Programmes (FPs) , to facilitate dissemination and sharing of know-how and best practices in science education.\u2022\tECB - European Coordinating Body for STEM Education (7th FP): multi-stakeholders partnership of STEM education stakeholders, launched by European Schoolnet in 2011 in collaboration with the European Roundtable of Industrialists.\u2022\tITEC - Innovative Technologies for Engaging Classrooms (7th FP): has involved education ministries, technology providers and research organisations since 2010 to bring about transformation in learning and teaching through the strategic application of learning technology. \u2022\teTwinning (DG Education, Comenius/Erasmus+): Central Support Service to promote school collaboration and networking in Europe through the use of ICT.\u2022\tINSAFE: European network of Awareness Centres promoting safe, responsible use of the Internet and mobile devices to young people, co-funded by the Safe Internet programme.Within Scientix and ECB, European Schoolnet has collaborated with the campaign Science it\u2019s a girl thing, promoted by the DG Research.In addition, European Schoolnet is part of the Grand Coalition for Jobs launched by VP Kroes and collaborate closely with DG CONNECT and stakeholders to achieve the goals of the coalition, especially in promoting coding and ICT skills.', 'area_of_interest': 'national;European', 'countries': 'AUSTRIA;BELGIUM;BULGARIA;CYPRUS;CZECH REPUBLIC;DENMARK;ESTONIA;FINLAND;FRANCE;GERMANY;GREECE;HUNGARY;IRELAND;ITALY;LATVIA;LITUANIA;LUXEMBOURG;NETHERLANDS;POLAND;PORTUGAL;ROMANIA;SLOVAKIA;SPAIN;SWEDEN;UNITED KINGDOM;GEORGIA;ICELAND;ISRAEL;NORWAY;SWITZERLAND;TURKEY', 'extra_financial_info': 'No national contribution as such but our members are Ministries of education and they contribute through their annual membership fees', 'fax_number': '', 'financial_year': '01/2013\r\n - \r\n 12/2013', 'goals': u'European Schoolnet is the network of 31 European Ministries of Education, based in Brussels. As a not-for-profit organisation, we aim to bring innovation in teaching and learning to our key stakeholders: Ministries of Education, schools, teachers, researchers, and industry partners. Since its founding in 1997, European Schoolnet has used its links with education ministries to help schools make effective use of educational technologies, equipping both teachers and pupils with the skills to achieve in the knowledge society.European Schoolnet provides both Ministries and schools with: information and services relating to the innovative use of educational technology; outreach campaigns on specific educational topics such as maths, science and technology; and research activities.In particular, we pledge to:- Support schools in achieving effective use of ICT in teaching and learning- Improve and raise the quality of education in Europe- Promote the European dimension in educationThousands of schools are engaged in our various pilot projects and studies, testing new learning activities and technologies in the classroom, and exploring the use of new pedagogical tools in teaching STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths). We identify and develop learning resources in various languages that teachers across Europe can use in their teaching, provide peer-to-peer online communities where teachers can exchange ideas and share resources, as well as offering various training opportunities online and offline.To fulfill our goals, we develop European-funded projects with the European Commission, the Ministries of Education and industry partners. These projects include iTEC (Designing the Future Classroom) and ECB - Ingenious (attracting pupils towards science, technology, engineering and maths). We also run a number of services for teachers and policymakers, such as Scientix, to promote science education, and Insafe, dedicated to digital citizenship skills and online safety.European Schoolnet has worked particularly towards enhancing cooperation across Europe between schools as the coordinator of the eTwinning Central Support Service since 2004. We also have a long experience in contributing to awareness-raising campaigns across Europe on the importance of gaining e-Skills (e-Skills Week), and transforming STEM education to increase the appeal of those sectors among pupils (ECB-Ingenious project).To further our goal of supporting teachers to introduce innovation into their teaching, European Schoolnet created the Future Classroom Lab in Brussels in 2012. A unique hub for showcasing technological and pedagogical innovation, the Future Classroom Lab is supported by sponsors such as Microsoft, Samsung, Acer, Cisco, Lego and many others. Other projects dedicated to teachers\u2019 professional development are being run on a continual basis, using the Future Classroom Lab to identify, analyse, and mainstream the best innovative practices in education, and equipping teachers with the necessary skills to develop their teaching practice.With the help of our research team, European Schoolnet also monitors trends in education through its Observatory.

It should become an integrated part of CSR in multinational companies, global framework agreements and collective agreements. Even the EU-system itself needs protection of whistleblowers.

Eurodiaconia believes that this register fails basic transparency standards and that it does not provide EU lobbying transparency. When registering, we have therefore chosen to give all relevant information that we consider necessary for lobbying transparency. A credible EU lobbying transparency register should include names of individual lobbyists and the issues that they try to influence, provide precise and comparable financial information on lobbying, and have effective sanctions to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information disclosed. In an effort to arrive at a more objective way of calculating lobbying expenditures, we follow guidelines that result from consultations with public interest organisations, professionals working on lobby transparency as well as experts of US lobby disclosure legislation. Our registration is therefore providing a more comprehensive calculation of our expenses for activities that aim to influence the policy formulation and decision-making processes of the European institutions, and a list of those who, on behalf of Eurodiaconia, carry out such activities.

Please note that in addition to the above EAPN was contracted on a non profit basis by the Slovenian Presidency of the EU to organise the 7th European Meeting of People experiencing poverty. Also please note that the aim of the work of EAPN is to help to reduce the gap between people experiencing poverty, the organisation which represents their interests and in which they participate and the European Union decision making processes.

The explicit and main purpose of groups that join the Network must be to empower people and groups experiencing poverty and social exclusion to fulfil their responsibilities, to exercise their rights, to break their isolation and counter their social exclusion. The Network shall pursue three main objectives:\uf0a7\tTo promote and enhance the effectiveness of actions against poverty and social exclusion; \uf0a7\tTo help shape social policies and design action programmes \uf0a7\tTo lobby for and with people and groups experiencing poverty and social exclusion. While EAPN is committed to the eradication of poverty globally the primary focus of our activities is on the eradication of poverty within the member states of the European Union. EAPN is committed to transparency about EU interest representation. EAPN believes that this register fails basic transparency standards and that it does not provide EU lobbying transparency. When registering, we have therefore chosen to give all the relevant information that we consider necessary for lobbying transparency. A credible EU lobbying transparency register should include names of individual lobbyists and the issues that they try to influence, provide precise and comparable financial information on lobbying, ad have effective sanctions to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information disclosed. IN an effort to arrive at a more objective way of calculating lobbying expenditures, we follow the guidelines that result from consultation with public interest organisations, professionals working on lobbying transparency as well as experts on US lobby disclosure legislation. Our registration is therefore providing a more comprehensive calculation of our expenses for activities that aim to influence the policy formulation and decision-making processes of the European institutions, and a list of those who, on behalf of EAPN, carry out such activities.Our registration is based on the guidelines for transparent registration developed by the Civil Society Contact Group and ALTER-EU.

In that respect in EAPN we try to engage citizens and civil society organisations in discussing European policies and strategies and to make proposals based on their experience and knowledge. This is part of a general effort to help to ensure a closer link between citizens and political decision making, to try to have the \u2018voice\u2019 of people experiencing poverty heard in this decision making and to try to build links between the local, regional, national and EU and international levels.', 'head_office_address': u'18\xa0Square de Meeus\xa0\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Bruxelles\xa0B-1050\r\n BELGIUM', 'id': '3945154610-54', 'lobbying_expenditure': u'250000\r\n \xa0\u20ac - 300000\r\n \xa0\u20ac', 'lobbying_section': 'III - Non-governmental organisations', 'lobbying_subsection': 'Non-governmental organisations, platforms and networks and similar', 'lobbyists_contact_position': 'Director', 'name': 'European Anti Poverty Network', 'networking': "Please note that the information above about the number of members of each of our members is not correct.

The European Standards Organisations are private associations and there is no fundamental reason why their standards development work should take into account the public interest. Bearing in mind the support European Standards give to the implementation of European legislation and other public polices, ANEC was established to provide an effective and coherent representation at European level of disparate and fragmented national consumer interests.ANEC also represents the consumer interest in the drafting or revision of European legislation - especially within the context of the New Legislative Framework for products - and in the development of public policies that may make reference to standards.And ANEC also represents the consumer interest in European fora addressing the use of standards and in matters of conformity assessment.Each member country of the EU and EFTA (and certain other European countries) may nominate a natural person to represent the interests of national consumer organisations in his or her country in the governance of ANEC. This individual is chosen by consensus at national level. The technical work of ANEC is pursued through topic-specific Working Groups bringing together volunteers from the member countries.

EAEA believes that this register fails basic transparency standards and that it does not provide EU lobbying transparency. When registering, we have therefore chosen to give all relevant information that we consider necessary for lobbying transparency. A credible EU lobbying transparency register should include names of individual lobbyists and the issues that they try to influence, provide precise and comparable financial information on lobbying, and have effective sanctions to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information disclosed. In an effort to arrive at a more objective way of calculating lobbying expenditures, we follow guidelines that result from consultations with public interest organisations, professionals working on lobby transparency as well as experts of US lobby disclosure legislation. Our registration is therefore providing a more comprehensive calculation of our expenses for activities that aim to influence the policy formulation and decision-making processes of the European institutions, and a list of those who, on behalf of EAEA, carry out such activities.

Quantitatively co-operative banks in Europe represent about 56 million members, 850,000 employees with a total average market share of about 20%.For more info, please visit our website: www.eacb.coop', 'head_office_address': u"26-38\xa0Rue de l'Industrie\xa0\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Brussels\xa01040\r\n BELGIUM", 'id': '4172526951-19', 'lobbying_expenditure': u'200000\r\n \xa0\u20ac - 250000\r\n \xa0\u20ac', 'lobbying_section': 'II - In-house lobbyists and trade/professional associations', 'lobbying_subsection': 'Other similar organisations', 'lobbyists_contact_position': 'General Manager', 'name': 'European Association of Co-operative Banks', 'networking': 'The European Association of Co-operative Banks is a member of:- European Banking Industry Committee (EBIC)- European Payments Council (EPC)- European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG)- Co-operatives Europe', 'register_url': 'http://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultation/displaylobbyist.do?id=4172526951-19', 'registration_date': '12/01/09 16:04:28', 'retrieved_at': '2014-12-03T06:15:30.203964', 'telephone': u'(+32 2)\xa0230 11 24', 'update_date': '22/07/14 12:31:42'} ALIASES Fields of interest for e-mail alerts on consultations and roadmaps; {'activities': '- Reform of the Common Agricultural Policy - Market measures taken by the EU Commission- Participation in the milk market observatory- Implementation of the food information regulation- Work on various FTA negotiations such as TTIP, CETA, or the EU-Japan- Market access issues in third countries (SPS, TBT)', 'area_of_interest': 'European', 'extra_financial_info': '', 'fax_number': 'Email: info@eucolait.eu', 'financial_year': '01/2012\r\n - \r\n 12/2012', 'goals': 'EUCOLAIT is the association representing the interests of European dairy trade.

They are regrouped into 4 areas. Click on one of the links underneath to access our various hubs. It includes a summary of our activities on the topic, as well as links to our documentation and resources, as well as events in the area in question.The employability of graduates has from the outset of the Bologna Reform process been considered as acornerstone in developing the three-cycle structure of Higher Education, and the curricula are being adapted accordingly. The underlying concern is to make higher education more responsive to rapidly developing societies, with equally rapidly changing demands from the world of employment.Lifelong learning (LLL) as a leading principle for the creation and development of the EHEA is strongly supported and advocated by EURASHE and its members, and we believe that the predominant qualities of LLL are widely found in PHE institutions and programs. For societies, LLL contributes to extending knowledge and skills and to creating new skills and transversal competences. For individuals, LLL is a major source to be flexible towards societal and professional changes or to pursue personal desires for the mere reasons of personal development and growth.International openness in HE is first of all a means to stimulate global awareness and a true sense of global citizenship and global responsibility among graduates and within the HE sector as a whole. Present-day problems are worldwide and cannot be solved in a definite geographical area like the EHEA, but require a global platform for global solutions. Moreover, the creation of the knowledge society requires global awareness and responsibility, and HEIs can play an important role here in consciousness raising and in finding solutions through internationalisation of programmes and study environment.Mobility of students and staff remains an important goal of the Bologna Process. Mobility is important for sharing and dissemination of knowledge and skills among students and professionals; it contributes to the personal development and responsible citizenship of the individual; and it underpins the European identity and the multilingual tradition in a global context.Education, research and innovation are elements in all types and levels of HE, but different HEIs focus on different aspects of education according to their mission statements. We do see, however, a continuum between academic, professional and vocational teaching and training; and similarly we see a continuum between fundamental research, innovation and applied research.Multidimensional transparency tools. Various ministerial communiqu\xe9s have highlighted the diversity of European HE as an asset. A transparent, multidimensional classification system of instruments which are designed to benchmark HEIs on research and innovation, teaching and learning outcomes, services to society, level of internationalisation and mobility, governance, study fees and study environment, student and stakeholder involvement, etc., may help identify and make visible such diversity.', 'area_of_interest': 'sub-national;national;European;global', 'countries': 'AUSTRIA;BELGIUM;CROATIA;CYPRUS;CZECH REPUBLIC;DENMARK;ESTONIA;FINLAND;FRANCE;GERMANY;GREECE;HUNGARY;IRELAND;LATVIA;LITUANIA;MALTA;NETHERLANDS;POLAND;PORTUGAL;ROMANIA;SLOVENIA;SPAIN;UNITED KINGDOM;ARMENIA;AZERBAIJAN;EGYPT;GEORGIA;KAZAKHSTAN;KYRGYZSTAN;MACAO;RUSSIA, FEDERATION OF;SERBIA;SWITZERLAND;UKRAINE', 'extra_financial_info': 'Our members which operate nationally and regionally make us of national, local and regional sources.

The Association is present mostly through National Associations of Higher Education Institutions and individual institutions, such as Universities, (University) Colleges and Universities of Applied Sciences, as well as through other professional associations and stakeholder organisations active in the field of higher education.EURASHE members operate within and across different national systems whether these are unitary or binary, professional and/or academic.EURASHE\u2019s mission is to represent the views of professionally oriented institutions and programmes in the Higher Education systems in countries of EHEA, either in binary HE systems (professional or vocational higher education) or in unitary \u2018university\u2019 systems.Its aim is to promote the interests of professional higher education in the EHEA and to contribute to the progressive development of the European Higher Education and Research Area (EHERA). In addition to offering professionally oriented programmes, EURASHE members are specifically engaged in applied and profession-related research, and its technological applications.EURASHE was founded in Patras, Greece, in 1990. It has the status of a non-profit international association according to Belgian law and its Secretariat is located in Brussels.EURASHE believes partnership and cooperation with other regions of the world are important. It has thus established relationships with countries outside the EHEA through associate membership and partnership agreements with other regions, such as Canada, the United States of America, Central America, Central Asia and the Caribbean region.EURASHE focuses primarily on policy development and on Higher Education projects and research with emphasis on its professionally oriented segments.

It has a successful track record in providing advice and technical assistance to both CSOs and citizens on EU citizens\u2019 rights enforcement and civic participation in the EU decision-making process (e.g. Your Europe Advice, EU Rights Clinic, ECI Support Centre, study visits, funding alerts).Consistent with its mission as defined in its statutes, ECAS\u2019 activities in the last 22 years have been focused at fostering European citizenship and at improving conditions for civic and democratic participation at the EU level.Through Your Europe Advice, high quality advice is provided to EU citizens in order to help them exercise their right of free movement. This right is the one most highly valued by EU citizens, and ECAS\u2019 service has successfully met the challenge of a continuously increasing number of questions in recent years.The EU Rights Clinic was launched in January 2013 as a not-for-profit service whose mission is to problem-solve difficult cases involving EU citizens and third country nationals through collective action and advocacy for the implementation of measures at both the EU level and in member states, in order to overcome visible and hidden barriers to European citizenship .The ECI Support Centre was made operational in June 2013 by a consortium of NGOs with different specializations in order to encourage democratic and civic participation of citizens at the Union level. ECAS coordinates the advice provided by them based on their expertise, which includes providing both specialized support to ECI organizers before and during the ECI process and policy analysis of the implementation of the ECI regulation at national and European levels.The IMPACT Brussels office, managed by ECAS, enables CSOs from Croatia and South-Eastern Europe to be on the spot and to engage with EU stakeholders in order to develop citizens' understanding of the Union policy-making processes and to promote opportunities for societal and intercultural engagement and volunteering at the Union level. By providing input from the field, the office contributes to shaping the future of Europe.Through its funding alerts, monthly updates on EU news, consultations and events, and calls for proposals and tenders, ECAS enables the 150 members of its network to remain aware of EU developments.", 'head_office_address': u"77\xa0Avenue de la Toison d'Or\xa0\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Brussels\xa01060\r\n BELGIUM", 'id': '47003483702-10', 'lobbying_expenditure': u'1000000\r\n \xa0\u20ac - 1250000\r\n \xa0\u20ac', 'lobbying_section': 'III - Non-governmental organisations', 'lobbying_subsection': 'Non-governmental organisations, platforms and networks and similar', 'lobbyists_contact_position': 'Director', 'name': 'European Citizen Action Service', 'networking': 'ECAS belongs to the Permanent Forum of European Civil Society, to the European Movement International and to some Foundations.', 'num_natural_members': '1', 'num_org_members': '2', 'org_members': u'European Multiple Sclerosis Platform\xa0(37\xa0members);European Organisation of Military Associations\xa0(40\xa0members)', 'register_url': 'http://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultation/displaylobbyist.do?id=47003483702-10', 'registration_date': '04/06/10 16:12:13', 'retrieved_at': '2014-12-03T06:16:28.330098', 'telephone': u'(+32)\xa025480490', 'update_date': '20/06/14 15:21:43'} ALIASES Fields of interest for e-mail alerts on consultations and roadmaps; {'activities': "Education and Training, ET2020Lifelong Learning and Youth future programmesEuropean Qualifications FrameworkEuropean Skills, Competencies and Occupations taxonomy (ESCO)Agenda for New Skills and JobsYouth on the MoveValidationRethinking EducationEU2020EU Budget reviewEuropean Citizens' InitiativeEU Transparency RegisterEU Presidencies priorities on Education and TrainingCULT Committee at the European ParliamentEducation and Culture CouncilWork in progress of the European Economic and Social CommitteeEY2010 for combating poverty and social exclusionEY2011 of VolunteeringEuropean Parliament Written Declaration 84/2010 for the adoption of the European statutes of Association, Mutualities and FoundationsActive citizenship", 'area_of_interest': 'national;European;global', 'countries': 'AUSTRIA;BELGIUM;BULGARIA;CROATIA;CYPRUS;CZECH REPUBLIC;DENMARK;ESTONIA;FINLAND;FRANCE;GERMANY;GREECE;HUNGARY;IRELAND;ITALY;LATVIA;LITUANIA;LUXEMBOURG;MALTA;NETHERLANDS;POLAND;PORTUGAL;ROMANIA;SLOVAKIA;SLOVENIA;SPAIN;SWEDEN;UNITED KINGDOM;ALBANIA;AZERBAIJAN;BELARUS;BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA;GEORGIA;ICELAND;KYRGYZSTAN;MACEDONIA, FORMER YUGOSLAV REPUBLIC OF;MOLDOVA, REPUBLIC OF;MONTENEGRO;NORWAY;RUSSIA, FEDERATION OF;SERBIA;SWITZERLAND;TURKEY', 'extra_financial_info': '', 'fax_number': 'mail: info@eucis-lll.eu', 'financial_year': '01/2013\r\n - \r\n 12/2013', 'goals': "The European Civil Society Platform on Lifelong Learning (EUCIS-LLL) promotes European-wide cooperation among civil society organisations.

Altogether we represent over 250 NGOs, trade unions and CSOs across Europe.ECCJ has three concrete objectives:1.\tTo increase European co-operation amongst NGOs working on Corporate Accountability and to influence policies within the EU and its member states. 2.\tTo raise public awareness about Corporate Justice and policies of the EU and to promote a consistent viewpoint from civil society. 3.\tTo build capacity and knowledge among NGOs in Europe with regard to corporate justice and accountability policies.In addition to this the coalition calls for better EU regulation to ensure that European companies consider their social and environmental impacts and mitigate them where they are negative. In order to achieve this, we advocate the extension of parent company liability, the establishment of a duty of care for companies over their sphere of influence and greater transparency through mandatory social and environmental reporting and clarification of corporate lobbying activities. In relation to this last aim, we consider this register to be insufficient. The ECCJ believes that this register fails basic transparency standards and that it does not provide EU lobbying transparency. When registering, we have therefore chosen to give all relevant information that we consider necessary for lobbying transparency. A credible EU lobbying transparency register should include names of individual lobbyists and the issues that they try to influence, provide precise and comparable financial information on lobbying, and have effective sanctions to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information disclosed. In an effort to arrive at a more objective way of calculating lobbying expenditures, we follow guidelines that result from consultations with public interest organisations, professionals working on lobby transparency as well as experts of US lobby disclosure legislation. Our registration is therefore providing a more comprehensive calculation of our expenses for activities that aim to influence the policy formulation and decision-making processes of the European institutions, and a list of those who, on behalf of the European Coalition for Corporate Justice, carry out such activities. Our registration is based on the guidelines for transparent registration developed by the Civil Society Contact Group and ALTER-EU.

Doctoral candidates and junior researchers should be fully recognised as professional workers, and as such they deserve appropriate working conditions and the recognition of their role in policy debates at their respective institutions and at all levels and policy circles where such debates are taking place.In particular, doctoral candidates and junior researchers working in academia have to be recognised as a vital part of the HEIs \u201cwork-force\u201d given their major role in the research and teaching environments, and in the long-term sustainability and success of the HEIs. The work of doctoral candidates and junior researchers should be granted with adequate funding, social security and mobility rights. Researchers, funders and employers should work together to ensure this outcome.Similarly, employers and funders outside of academia should recognise that holders of PhDs are an added-value to their workforce as highly-skilled professionals with research experiences.In order to improve young researchers\u2019 working conditions, Eurodoc will: - Constantly monitor the social and working conditions of doctoral candidates and junior researchers in different member countries and institutions, - Voice the need for appropriate social security rights of doctoral candidates and junior researchers, - Encourage institutions to implement the European \u201cCharter and Code\u201d for Researchers, - Promote \u201cbest practices\u201d and encourage the institutions/countries where unfavourable conditions are found in order to improve and elevate their standards, - Assist its members in announcing and disseminating information concerning unfavourable practices to discourage their continuation In order to advance the quality of higher education and research in Europe, Eurodoc will: - Elaborate common position statements on policy issues and teaching and research practices that are of concern to doctoral candidates and junior researchers, - Represent the positions of doctoral candidates and junior researchers to the relevant European bodies and stakeholders, - Participate actively in the main institutional events of the European Research Area and the European Higher Education AreaOur vision is an ERA and EHEA in which doctoral candidates and junior researchers are duly recognised and respected for the essential roles they play.', 'head_office_address': u"11\xa0Rue D'Egmont\xa0\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Brussels\xa01000\r\n BELGIUM", 'id': '832797511955-47', 'lobbying_expenditure': '', 'lobbying_section': 'III - Non-governmental organisations', 'lobbying_subsection': 'Non-governmental organisations, platforms and networks and similar', 'lobbyists_contact_position': 'President', 'name': 'European Council of Doctoral Candidates and Junior Researchers', 'networking': '', 'num_natural_members': '35', 'num_org_members': '0', 'org_members': '', 'register_url': 'http://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultation/displaylobbyist.do?id=832797511955-47', 'registration_date': '25/09/13 15:49:32', 'retrieved_at': '2014-12-03T06:17:05.190556', 'telephone': u'(+32)\xa026477713', 'update_date': '31/08/14 14:23:47'} ALIASES Fields of interest for e-mail alerts on consultations and roadmaps; {'activities': u'the COM has taken over our proposal concerning \u201ccommon platforms\u201d, now named common education frameworks under Art. 49a of the PQD-proposal.

They also learn a lot from ECOO about the work of the EU in Brussels which affects many aspects of the day to day work of opticians and optometrists as well as professional qualifications. ECOO facilitates the exchange of information at its meetings and in the periods between meetings, in writing and face-to-face.Harmonisation of profession and educationECOO seeks to expand the scope of practice of optometrists and opticians (whether as two separate professions or as a single profession with an "internal ladder"). ECOO\'s most ambitious project has been the development of the ECOO European Diploma in Optometry. Progress has been slow but continuous. The Diploma is a qualification based on a harmonised curriculum of study and harmonised written and practical examinations.Lobby EU institutionsECOO explains EU issues to its members; ECOO lobbies the EU by representing the views of its member organisations to the EU (mainly the European Commission and European Parliament, but sometimes also the national governments of the 27 member states). The three most important issues followed by ECOO in Brussels have been: the directive on medical devices; financial support for the European Diploma; the directives on the recognition of professional qualifications.Helping individual member organisationsIn recent years ECOO has helped its member organisations in their relations with national authorities in order to improve the situation of the profession.

Although the European institutions might seem far for many citizens, the decisions taken by the European Union, which are the result of negotiations between all Member States, have a direct impact on disabled people\u2019s lives.That is why, the role of EDF is so important in monitoring all EU initiatives and in proposing new legislation to advance disabled people\u2019s rights. 1.Equality and non-discrimination constitute a basic and general principle relating to the protection of human rights of all persons. It is an indivisible part of international human rights law, binding on all Member States of the European Union, founded on the principles of democracy, respect of human rights and the rule of law. Despite this fact, the discrimination of people with disabilities remains a daily reality in Europe, ranging from more visible forms (such as segregated education and denial of employment opportunities) to more subtle forms (such as imposition of physical, psychological and social barriers), resulting in social exclusion of persons with disabilities.2.The right to employment is far from being a reality for millions of disabled people willing to work.Disabled people are two to three times more likely to be unemployed than non-disabled persons. They are more likely to be unemployed for longer periods and face higher risks of losing their jobs than non-disabled people. At present, 78% of disabled people are totally excluded from the workforce. Most of them are obliged to depend on welfare grants to survive and as a result, their income is considerably lower than that of non-disabled people.3. TransportThe EU Treaties guarantee the right for all citizens to free movement. Despite this fact, disabled people can still not fully benefit from this right as the transport system remains generally inaccessible.The European Disability Forum believes that all people should have the right to enjoy a seamless travel experience and to benefit from an accessible, comfortable and high-quality transport system. Unfortunately, the reality across Europe is still far from this objective.4. Social inclusionPersons with disabilities are confronted with regular discrimination and barriers in an educational, employment and social context. This situation of disadvantage increases for disabled people and their families the risk to be socially excluded, to face financial and \u2018societal\u2019 poverty, as well as isolation.It is therefore very important that the European Union, in the framework of its strategy to fight social exclusion, takes into account the specific difficulties faced by disabled people.The work of the European Disability Forum in this field aims to guarantee the visibility of disabled people in the European strategy on Social Inclusion.5. Information society represents at once significant opportunities but also potential new barriers for the social inclusion of people with disabilities. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are offering new opportunities for everyone but it is more significant for people with disabilities, as they use technological assistance for daily activities to a higher extent than people in general. With technological equipment adapted to the abilities of everyone, disabled end-users would be able to participate to all aspects of social life on more equal terms than ever before. It is vital for persons with disabilities to benefit, on an equal basis, from rapid development of ICTs to enter an inclusive and barrier-free Information Society.6. Mainstreaming disability in regional and local policyOne of the pillars of the \u2018disability mainstreaming\u2019 is the active implication of persons with disabilities in policy planning and in decision-making process, at all levels. EDF motto:\u2018Nothing about disabled people without disabled people\u2019,reflects with exactitude this key principle.', 'area_of_interest': 'European', 'countries': 'AUSTRIA;BELGIUM;BULGARIA;CROATIA;CYPRUS;CZECH REPUBLIC;DENMARK;ESTONIA;FINLAND;FRANCE;GERMANY;GREECE;HUNGARY;IRELAND;ITALY;LATVIA;LITUANIA;LUXEMBOURG;MALTA;NETHERLANDS;POLAND;PORTUGAL;ROMANIA;SLOVAKIA;SLOVENIA;SPAIN;SWEDEN;UNITED KINGDOM;ALBANIA;ICELAND;MACEDONIA, FORMER YUGOSLAV REPUBLIC OF;NORWAY;SERBIA;TURKEY', 'extra_financial_info': '', 'fax_number': '', 'financial_year': '01/2013\r\n - \r\n 12/2013', 'goals': u'The European Disability Forum (EDF) is an independent European non-governmental organisation (ENGO) that represents the interests of 80 million disabled people in the European Union and stands for their rights.EDF is the only European platform of disabled people, which is run by disabled people or the families of disabled people unable to represent themselves.EDF\u2019s mission is to promote equal opportunities for disabled people and to protect their Human Rights, making sure that no decisions concerning disabled people are taken without disabled people.EDF was created in 1996 by its member organisations to defend issues of common concern to all disability groups, and to be an independent and strong voice for disabled citizens towards the EU institutions and other European authorities.Since that date, the European Disability Forum has played a key role in ensuring that all relevant European Union policies and initiatives take disabled people into account.EDF has no political or religious affiliation; it does not represent any specific interest or country and it is not a European institution or body.It is a democratic European platform that believes that a society in which disabled people are fully included, is a better society for all.', 'head_office_address': u'35\xa0square de Mee\xfbs\xa0\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Brussels\xa01000\r\n BELGIUM', 'id': '57868523887-16', 'lobbying_expenditure': u'900000\r\n \xa0\u20ac - 1000000\r\n \xa0\u20ac', 'lobbying_section': 'III - Non-governmental organisations', 'lobbying_subsection': 'Non-governmental organisations, platforms and networks and similar', 'lobbyists_contact_position': 'Director', 'name': 'European Disability Forum', 'networking': "EDF is member of the European's Women Lobby advocating rights of women with disabilities.EDF is member of the European Social Platform aiming at promoting social justice and participatory democracy.EDF is member of the International Disability Alliance promoting the rights of persons with disabilities worldwide.", 'num_natural_members': '80,000,000', 'num_org_members': '', 'org_members': '', 'register_url': 'http://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultation/displaylobbyist.do?id=57868523887-16', 'registration_date': '19/07/10 15:38:28', 'retrieved_at': '2014-12-03T06:17:20.183232', 'telephone': u'(+32)\xa02 282 46 00', 'update_date': '14/07/14 16:28:41'} ALIASES Fields of interest for e-mail alerts on consultations and roadmaps;

However, there is still a gap between the \u2018ideal\u2019 safety situation and the reality.Together with its partners like EU-OSHA (the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work), DG SANCO(European Commission) etc., CEOC International, EFNDT and EUROLAB support the \u201cprevention principle\u201d.In a market where the number of consumer products and industrial installations are rapidly growing everyyear, constant reflection and action about how to minimize accidents and dangerous products are needed.Identifying risks with qualified partners at an early stage is therefore key.In 2007 in a globalised world, merchandise of a total value of $5,956 billion was imported to Europe,according to WTO\u2019s 2008 International Trade Statistics. This means that in 2007 43.7 % of the globalmerchandise flow passed through markets of Members States. Concerning the trade of manufacturedproducts, the bulk of world\u2019s merchandise outcome, EU-27 is the destination of 20.7% of the globalamount of items which crossed EU borders in 2007, with the total value of $1187.16 billion. Out of thisreality which represents an immense number of goods, it will never be possible to find out exactly howmany products present serious incongruence with European safety guidelines.CEOC International, EFNDT and EUROLAB closely anticipated and followed the adoption of the NewEU Legislative Framework for Products. They particularly welcome the entry into force of Regulation765/2008 on Accreditation and Market Surveillance this January, marking a major step in the developmentof a European system of accreditation and market surveillance, and support a strong European Organisationof Accreditation Organisations-EA as being in the interest of all parties involved.The first objective of the Regulation is to strengthen market surveillance, thus protecting citizens fromunsafe products entering the European market. In order to achieve this goal, sufficient financial andtechnical means need to be allocated to the national authorities. In this connection, CEOC International,EFNDT and EUROLAB would like to add that taking care of the consumer is important but also thesafety of the worker at work represents a key issue that is more and more neglected when it comes toputting work equipment on the market. Secondly, the parties stress the importance of efficiently usingfinancial means at Member States\u2019 level and propose that Notified Bodies can be helpful in this respectby identifying the right tests on the critical products and performing the assessments in a technicallyreliable way. The second target of the Regulation is to enhance confidence in conformity assessments of products by strengthening the role of accreditation for conformity assessment bodies and ensuring an equally highlevel of competence in the EU. All signing organisations fully support this objective for two reasons: First,fair competition for accredited bodies is necessary to consolidate the credibility of the system; second, acredible and strong accreditation process is important in order to avoid the perceived necessity of parallelassessments by the Member States in the regulatory field.Legally, importers-manufacturers are obliged to affix the CE marking on their products in the EU sayingthat the product has been manufactured in accordance with existing EU legislation. However, the CEmark is not a safety mark per se and therefore many manufacturers turn to third-party certification bodiesin order to have their products certified and tested by an independent body thus adding credibility totheir product. This allows manufacturers to concentrate on their core business by outsourcing inspection,testing and certification', 'area_of_interest': 'European', 'extra_financial_info': '', 'fax_number': 'Franziska KasslerInternational Affairs ManagerEUROLAB aisbl20-22, rue du Commerce1000 BrusselsBelgiumTel. : +32 2 511 50 65mobile : +32 479953949http://www.eurolab.org/', 'financial_year': '04/2013\r\n - \r\n 04/2014', 'goals': u'EUROLAB, the European Federation of National Associations of Measurement, Testing and Analytical laboratories, founded in 1990, represents a network counting over 3000 public and private laboratories and conformity assessment bodies (CABs) throughout Europe.

Since and through co-operation with European and international technological partner organisations, through regular contacts with the European Commission and the European and international accreditation bodies (EA, ILAC) and through representation in standardisation committees (CEN, ISO), EUROLAB can effectively represent the interests of its members which are made up of three categories of members, i.e. 20 Active Members which are either members of the EU or EFTA, 3 Associated Members from Eastern and Central Europe which are applicant countries to the EU and 19 International Affiliates, including i.a. , EUROLAB-Lebanon, NCSLI (National conference of standards laboratories International - USA) and NLA (National laboratory association of South Africa).', 'head_office_address': u'20-22\xa0rue du Commerce\xa0\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Brussels\xa01000\r\n BELGIUM', 'id': '93803793892-60', 'lobbying_expenditure': u'100000\r\n \xa0\u20ac - 150000\r\n \xa0\u20ac', 'lobbying_section': 'II - In-house lobbyists and trade/professional associations', 'lobbying_subsection': 'Trade, business & professional associations', 'lobbyists_contact_position': 'Secretary General', 'name': 'European Federation of National Associations of Measurement, Testing and Analytical Laboratories', 'networking': '', 'register_url': 'http://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultation/displaylobbyist.do?id=93803793892-60', 'registration_date': '20/07/10 17:28:47', 'retrieved_at': '2014-12-03T06:17:50.164877', 'telephone': u'(+32)\xa02 511 50 65', 'update_date': '23/06/14 17:43:34'} ALIASES Fields of interest for e-mail alerts on consultations and roadmaps; {'activities': '- Water Framework Directive CIS- Drinking water directive- Concessions and public procurement- Broadband- Shale gas / fracking- etc.', 'area_of_interest': 'European', 'extra_financial_info': '', 'fax_number': '', 'financial_year': '01/2013\r\n - \r\n 12/2013', 'goals': u'It is EUREAU\u2019s mission to promote the common interests of its members to the Community institutions and to keep its members informed of relevant developments in the European arena.In practice this results in the following main activities: \u2022 To promote the common interests of the European water service sector to the EU institutions and stakeholders; \u2022 To enable its members to adequately deal with opportunities and treats arising from EU policy and its national implementation; \u2022 To support members\u2019 networking.In line with this, EUREAU aims for a provision of reliable and high quality water supply and waste water services which: \u2022 Protect public health; \u2022 Fully respect the natural environment; \u2022 Support economic development; \u2022 Socially acceptable.', 'head_office_address': u'47-51\xa0Rue du Luxembourg\xa0\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Brussels\xa01050\r\n BELGIUM', 'id': '39299129772-62', 'lobbying_expenditure': u'200000\r\n \xa0\u20ac - 250000\r\n \xa0\u20ac', 'lobbying_section': 'II - In-house lobbyists and trade/professional associations', 'lobbying_subsection': 'Trade, business & professional associations', 'lobbyists_contact_position': 'Secretary General', 'name': 'European Federation of National Associations of Water Services', 'networking': '', 'register_url': 'http://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultation/displaylobbyist.do?id=39299129772-62', 'registration_date': '08/10/12 14:34:34', 'retrieved_at': '2014-12-03T06:17:50.986696', 'telephone': u'(+32)\xa002 706 40 80', 'update_date': '12/09/14 14:20:27'} ALIASES Fields of interest for e-mail alerts on consultations and roadmaps; {'activities': 'FEANTSA European seminar on local homeless strategies; European Conference on youth homelessness; European Research Conference on Homelessness; FEANTSA Campaign Ending Homelessness; FEANTSA Campaign Poverty is Not a Crime', 'area_of_interest': 'sub-national;national;European;global', 'countries': 'AUSTRIA;BELGIUM;BULGARIA;CROATIA;CZECH REPUBLIC;DENMARK;ESTONIA;FINLAND;FRANCE;GERMANY;GREECE;HUNGARY;IRELAND;ITALY;LATVIA;LITUANIA;LUXEMBOURG;MALTA;NETHERLANDS;POLAND;PORTUGAL;ROMANIA;SLOVAKIA;SLOVENIA;SPAIN;SWEDEN;UNITED KINGDOM;BELARUS;MACEDONIA, FORMER YUGOSLAV REPUBLIC OF;NORWAY;RUSSIA, FEDERATION OF;SERBIA;SWITZERLAND;UKRAINE', 'extra_financial_info': '', 'fax_number': '', 'financial_year': '01/2013\r\n - \r\n 12/2013', 'goals': "FEANTSA, the European Federation of National Organisations working with the Homeless, was established in 1989 as a European non-governmental organisation to prevent and alleviate the poverty and social exclusion of people threatened by or living in homelessness.

Our aim is to increase the number of Europeans who share this belief and encourage them to take individual political action.EFI will bring together every parliamentary national-Israel friendship group from the EU 27 Member States, together with a new Israel friendship group within the European Parliament. It is estimated that EFI will have an initial membership of some 1,000 Members of Parliament from all of Europe\u2019s mainstream political parties, making it one of the largest pan-European parliamentary groups of its kind.EFI is comprised of Members of the European Parliament and Members of National Parliaments from across Europe who are willing to improve understanding between Europe and Israel and help the Parliamentarians in performing their job.The Steering Committee of EFI Europe includes all the chairmen of the main Parliamentarian Friendship associations in Europe. The Steering Committee of EFI at the European Parliament includes Members of the European Parliament who have remarkable experience on high level of diplomacy and who recognize the need to launch this organization.EFI consistently works across the EU and member states to monitor all legislation that impacts on Israel and lends its support to new initiatives that will help Israel to exist within safe and secure borders.', 'head_office_address': u'109\xa0Rue Froissart\xa0\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Brussels\xa01000\r\n BELGIUM', 'id': '69595906422-47', 'lobbying_expenditure': '', 'lobbying_section': 'III - Non-governmental organisations', 'lobbying_subsection': 'Non-governmental organisations, platforms and networks and similar', 'lobbyists_contact_position': 'Director', 'name': 'European Friends of Israel', 'networking': '', 'num_natural_members': '6', 'num_org_members': '', 'org_members': '', 'register_url': 'http://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultation/displaylobbyist.do?id=69595906422-47', 'registration_date': '11/08/11 20:38:01', 'retrieved_at': '2014-12-03T06:18:21.662237', 'telephone': u'(+32)\xa022371150', 'update_date': '28/08/14 16:11:43'} ALIASES Fields of interest for e-mail alerts on consultations and roadmaps; {'activities': 'tbc', 'area_of_interest': 'European', 'extra_financial_info': '', 'fax_number': '', 'financial_year': '01/2013\r\n - \r\n 12/2013', 'goals': 'For over 50 years AIJN has been the representative association of the fruit juice industry in the EU.

Quality, safe and effective formulations are provided by the European generic veterinary medicinal products\u2019 industry. They are attainable throughout the countries, all the more so in regions with specific needs and conditions, last but not least preventing potential monopolies in the EU market.2.\tTo contribute to a high level of health and welfare for all animals and the environment.As animals become healthier, their welfare conditions improve. Generic veterinary medicinal products, which correspond to the high quality, safety and efficacy standards, allow animal owners access to lower cost medication and to improve the health, welfare, longevity and quality of life of their pets. Due to the fundamental role of companion animals in modern societies, animal health and welfare positively influence human wellbeing as well. 3.\tTo increase the availability of affordable veterinary medicinal products of high quality throughout Europe.With the costs of medicines escalating, it is important that there is sufficient products\u2019 competition and supply. Generic veterinary medicines with guaranteed quality, safety and efficacy help creating an appropriate competitive environment, with more and more affordable options for European veterinarians, farmers and pet owners. 4.\tTo represent the interest of its members in order to achieve a regulatory environment that allows all stakeholders to compete in the market.', 'head_office_address': u'38-40\xa0De Mee\xfbs Square\xa0Espace Mee\xfbs\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Brussels\xa0B-1000\r\n BELGIUM', 'id': '894642514444-82', 'lobbying_expenditure': '', 'lobbying_section': 'II - In-house lobbyists and trade/professional associations', 'lobbying_subsection': 'Trade, business & professional associations', 'lobbyists_contact_position': 'Technical Director', 'name': 'European Group for Generic Veterinary Products', 'networking': 'DG Sanco Advisory group for the Food Chain and Animal and Plant HealthEuropean Platform for the Responsible Use of Medicines in Animals (EPRUMA)', 'register_url': 'http://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultation/displaylobbyist.do?id=894642514444-82', 'registration_date': '16/09/14 15:08:41', 'retrieved_at': '2014-12-03T06:18:29.484898', 'telephone': u'(+32)\xa0024018795', 'update_date': '16/09/14 15:09:18'} ALIASES Fields of interest for e-mail alerts on consultations and roadmaps; {'activities': '- Three Round Tables of Stakeholders, two of which held in the European Parliament and hosted by at least two MEPs- National Member Organisations workshops for EU-Member State organisations on Economics and Health Technology Assessments- Four Quarterly EU Policy Reports for National Member Organisations- Three annual newsletters/magazines for all stakeholders- Annual scientific conference combined with trainings- World Haemophilia Day campaign- Advocacy meetings with the European Medicines Agency, MEPs and the European Commission', 'area_of_interest': 'national;European', 'countries': 'AUSTRIA;BELGIUM;BULGARIA;CROATIA;CYPRUS;CZECH REPUBLIC;DENMARK;ESTONIA;FINLAND;FRANCE;GERMANY;GREECE;HUNGARY;IRELAND;ITALY;LATVIA;LITUANIA;LUXEMBOURG;NETHERLANDS;POLAND;PORTUGAL;ROMANIA;SLOVAKIA;SLOVENIA;SPAIN;SWEDEN;UNITED KINGDOM', 'extra_financial_info': '', 'fax_number': '', 'financial_year': '01/2013\r\n - \r\n 12/2013', 'goals': u"The European Haemophilia Consortium (EHC) is an international non-profit organisation that represents 44 national patient organisations of people with rare bleeding disorders from all 28 Member States of the European Union (EU) and most Member States of the Council of Europe.The EHC represents over 90,000 people diagnosed with a rare bleeding condition such as haemophilia, von Willebrand Disease and other rare bleeding disorders across Europe.

It operates as a study and information group through the many projects and activities undertaken, and has been at the forefront in helping large segments of the public take part in the dissemination of information on European affairs and activities. It operates as a pressure group through the influence exerted by its members at all levels in each sector of activity.

The two top priority objectives are (i) to have the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (hereinafter referred to as \u201cFCTC\u201d) implemented in Europe by 2020 and (ii) to reduce the prevalence of tobacco use in Europe to less than 5% by 2040.ENSP is governed by a General Assembly consisting of two representatives from each of the national coalitions against tobacco in Europe and of one representative from each of the specialised European tobacco control networks and individual member organisations. ENSP is administered by a regularly elected Executive Board which delegates the daily management and co-ordination of the network to a Secretariat in Brussels.Our vision is of a future where our fellow Europeans will not suffer the distress of ill health and early death because of tobacco. We want our children to be able to grow up without being targeted with messages that seek to lure them into a lifetime of addiction. We want all Europeans to be able to breathe clean air unpolluted by tobacco smoke. As we increasingly communicate more freely and cross country borders more frequently, we realize that our individual countries do not stand alone; we feel the reverberations of change throughout Europe. Therefore, we undertake to use the best evidence of effectiveness in policy and practice to work together towards our common goal.The activities that the Association conducts in order to attain its purpose are the following:- to focus in priority on coordination and consensus building, education, prevention and cessation;- to facilitate the creation and the development of national and international alliances for smoking prevention and tobacco control in Europe, as well as the support of their actions;- to promote collaboration amongst Member organizations and support their actions;- to stimulate and participate in joint projects at national and international level;- to undertake the collection, distribution and exchange of information relevant for tobacco control to the members of the Network, non-governmental organizations, intergovernmental organizations, national governments all over Europe and the institutions of the European Union;- to sponsor, promote and organize education and training seminars, conferences, missions, and exhibitions, on matters relevant to smoking and tobacco prevention and cessation.', 'head_office_address': u"144\xa0Chausee d'Ixelles\xa0\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Bruxelles\xa01050\r\n BELGIUM", 'id': '17882036839-35', 'lobbying_expenditure': '', 'lobbying_section': 'III - Non-governmental organisations', 'lobbying_subsection': 'Non-governmental organisations, platforms and networks and similar', 'lobbyists_contact_position': 'Director of Policy and Strategy', 'name': 'European Network for Smoking and Tobacco Prevention', 'networking': 'Framework Convention Alliancewww.fctc.orgEuropean Public Health Alliancewww.epha.org', 'num_natural_members': '0', 'num_org_members': '0', 'org_members': '', 'register_url': 'http://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultation/displaylobbyist.do?id=17882036839-35', 'registration_date': '30/09/11 11:45:31', 'retrieved_at': '2014-12-03T06:19:36.238657', 'telephone': u'(+32)\xa022306515', 'update_date': '09/09/14 13:09:29'} ALIASES Fields of interest for e-mail alerts on consultations and roadmaps; {'activities': 'participation in the structured dialogue with civil society organised by DG Regio in the framework of the preparation of regional cohesion funds 2014-2020', 'area_of_interest': 'sub-national;European;global', 'countries': 'AUSTRIA;BELGIUM;FINLAND;FRANCE;GERMANY;GREECE;HUNGARY;IRELAND;ITALY;LUXEMBOURG;POLAND;PORTUGAL;SPAIN;SWEDEN;UNITED KINGDOM;MOROCCO', 'extra_financial_info': '', 'fax_number': '', 'financial_year': '01/2013\r\n - \r\n 12/2013', 'goals': 'REVES is the unique european organisation based on partnership between local and regional authorities and territorial social economy organisations.

Therefore both the EU and the member states put forward daring targets to energise the sectors of education and training making them more performing.In order to give these innovation policies a broad societal support, governments mobilise the educational and social-economic stakeholders such as representatives of school boards, teacher trade unions, parent and student organisations as well as social partners to participate actively in the conception and the implementation of policies and activities in education and training.Therefore most of the member states have set up national or regional formal institutions of consideration and consultation. They have diverse statutes, but they all have to function as an advisory body towards governments on future education policies. HistoryTo encourage a closer and more intense cooperation, the education councils created in 1999 a European network of national and regional education councils. EUNEC is convinced that all those involved in education (the European Commission, the governments of the Member States, the education councils, the stakeholders and all European citizens) can benefit from a European platform where major reforms in educational systems can be discussed thoroughly and prepared for a successful implementation.Aims and objectivesEUNEC aims to discuss the findings and recommendations of all European projects in education and training, to determine standpoints and to formulate statements on these issues. EUNEC wants to disseminate these statements pro-actively towards the European Commission, relevant DG\u2019s and other actors at European level, and to promote action by EUNEC\u2019s members and participants at national level. EUNEC also has the objective that the councils should put internationalisation, mobility and Europeanization high on the national agenda, that they should recommend and support a European policy in education and training towards all relevant stakeholders: ministry of education (and employment), sectoral and branch organisations, providers and other actors.Therefore, EUNEC wants to work in two directions: EUNEC wants to disseminate all documents, texts, studies\u2026that are launched by the European Commission within the framework of the Lisbon process, the Bologna process, the Copenhagen process and Education and Training 2010. But EUNEC also wants to act as a critical sounding board for the European and national decision makers in education and training. With sound and coherent statements, the members of EUNEC want to influence the discussions and the decisions on the major European issues in education and training.The aims of the network are to provide its members with a framework designed to:-\texchange experience;-\tkeep abreast of developments in education;-\tmake co-operation between the education councils easier;-\texamine the ways and means of enhancing the performance of their tasks;-\tact as an interlocutor with supranational organizations and bodies taking action in the field of education in a European context;-\tcooperate with other organizations.In order to fulfil its aims, the network will pursue action to:-\torganise studies and/or working parties on issues of special interest to the network;-\tpromote exchanges between network members or their representatives, and between their counterparts in other countries, as well as with specialists in the field;-\tdisseminate studies and documents, which come under these activities.', 'head_office_address': u'6\xa0Kunstlaan\xa0\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n P.O. box:\xa06\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Brussel\xa01210\r\n BELGIUM', 'id': '41228861912-38', 'lobbying_expenditure': '', 'lobbying_section': 'VI - Organisations representing local, regional and municipal authorities, other public or mixed entities, etc.', 'lobbying_subsection': 'Other public or mixed entities, etc.', 'lobbyists_contact_position': 'general secretary', 'name': 'European Network of Education Councils', 'networking': 'EUNEC works together with EUCIS LLLExchanges with EPA (European Parents Organisation), European Youth Forum.', 'num_natural_members': '0', 'num_org_members': '15', 'org_members': u"Onderwijsraad\xa0(20\xa0members);Conseil de l'Education et de la Formation\xa0(20\xa0members);Vlaamse Onderwijsraad\xa0(300\xa0members);Conselho Nacional de Educacao\xa0(20\xa0members);Consejo Escolar Estado\xa0(20\xa0members);Lithuanian Education Council\xa0(20\xa0members);Cyprus Education Council\xa0(20\xa0members);Estonian Education Forum\xa0(20\xa0members);Conseil Sup\xe9rieur de l'Education\xa0(20\xa0members);Hungarian Education Council\xa0(50\xa0members);Intitute of Educational Sciences\xa0(30\xa0members);Greek Education Council\xa0(10\xa0members);Union of Schools Associations\xa0(80\xa0members);Teaching Council Ireland\xa0(40\xa0members);Institute of Educational Sciences\xa0(30\xa0members)", 'register_url': 'http://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultation/displaylobbyist.do?id=41228861912-38', 'registration_date': '26/06/09 16:04:12', 'retrieved_at': '2014-12-03T06:19:40.043529', 'telephone': u'(+32)\xa02 227 13 70', 'update_date': '17/06/14 12:44:52'} ALIASES Fields of interest for e-mail alerts on consultations and roadmaps; {'activities': 'MEP awards ENFA supported the Justice and Civil Liberties award.SIP Focus Group meetings on May 14 / 15 2013', 'area_of_interest': 'European', 'countries': 'BELGIUM;CYPRUS;DENMARK;ITALY;NETHERLANDS;PORTUGAL;SLOVENIA;SPAIN;SWEDEN;UNITED KINGDOM;NORWAY', 'extra_financial_info': '', 'fax_number': 'The head office address is only for receiving postal information.

The main objectives of the organisation are to work as a platform to exchange information, share good practices and to implement common projects. The priorities of the ENTP are: urban regeneration, planning of town centres, housing issues, social cohesion, environment preservation and sustainable development.Why new towns and pilot cities?New Towns, developed during the second half of the 20th century, are undergoing a transition to mature towns and are facing major challenges with respect to their resources, housing, services and community identity. At the same time, New Towns are pilot cities: they are creative laboratories and the lessons drawn from their experience are relevant for the development policies of other local authorities throughout and outside Europe.Main activitiesENTP activities include the promotion of exchange of information and experiences through seminars, trainings, panels of experts, and the creation of cross-cutting networks of urban planners, sociologists, economists and environmentalists. The ENTP also organises conferences and research activities.The ENTP coordinates cooperation projects at European and international levels. ENTP is participating in the discussion preparing the WHO-Kobe centre declaration to reduce urban health inequities, and had the opportunity to review the WHO-UN Habitat \u201cHidden cities\u201d report.The ENTP is a supporting structure of the Covenant of Mayors to reduce CO2 emissions, as well as a partner of the Urban Intergroup of the European parliament.', 'head_office_address': u'63-65\xa0rue du Canal\xa0\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Brussels\xa01000\r\n BELGIUM', 'id': '17301835156-28', 'lobbying_expenditure': u'150000\r\n \xa0\u20ac - 200000\r\n \xa0\u20ac', 'lobbying_section': 'III - Non-governmental organisations', 'lobbying_subsection': 'Non-governmental organisations, platforms and networks and similar', 'lobbyists_contact_position': 'DIRECTRICE', 'name': 'European New Towns & Pilot cities Platform', 'networking': '', 'num_natural_members': '27', 'num_org_members': '', 'org_members': '', 'register_url': 'http://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultation/displaylobbyist.do?id=17301835156-28', 'registration_date': '29/01/11 22:28:19', 'retrieved_at': '2014-12-03T06:19:50.300957', 'telephone': u'(+32)\xa022179742', 'update_date': '16/01/14 17:48:45'} ALIASES Fields of interest for e-mail alerts on consultations and roadmaps; {'activities': 'The Multiannual Financial Framework and the Development Cooperation Instrument, the Agenda for Change, Public Consultation "Towards a Post-2015 Development Framework".', 'area_of_interest': 'European', 'countries': 'AUSTRIA;BELGIUM;BULGARIA;DENMARK;FINLAND;FRANCE;GERMANY;HUNGARY;IRELAND;ITALY;LATVIA;LITUANIA;LUXEMBOURG;NETHERLANDS;POLAND;PORTUGAL;ROMANIA;SPAIN;SWEDEN;UNITED KINGDOM', 'extra_financial_info': '', 'fax_number': '', 'financial_year': '01/2011\r\n - \r\n 12/2011', 'goals': u'The European NGOs for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights, Population and Development (EuroNGOs) is the largest European platform of NGOs that collaborate on SRHR issues in development cooperation and global policy.

The EORTC is recognised as scientific research institution and as non-profit clinical trial sponsor by the Belgian State. The EORTC mission is to improve the standard of cancer treatment in Europe through the development of innovative new drugs and to test more effective therapeutic strategies using commercially available drugs, surgery, or radiotherapy. The EORTC has the aim to facilitate the passage of experimental discoveries into state-of-the-art treatment by keeping to a minimum the time lapse between the discovery of new anti-cancer agents and the implementation of their therapeutic benefit for patients with cancer. This is accomplished mainly by conducting international large, multicentre, prospective, randomised, phase III clinical trials. EORTC clinical research trials are conducted in a network of over 300 participating institutions located in 32 countries in which more than 2,900 clinicians and scientists collaborate on a voluntary basis. More than 6,000 cancer patients are entered into EORTC multidisciplinary trials each year. Some 35 EORTC trials are permanently open to patient entry. The activities of the EORTC are peer reviewed by the US National Cancer Institute. All EORTC protocols are written and conducted in accordance with international standards for ethics: the declaration of Helsinki, Good Clinical Practice guidelines approved by the International Conference on Harmonization.Independent clinical research is the only way to guarantee an objective evaluation and to establish optimal therapeutic strategies on a multidisciplinary base. However, there is no clinical research possible without collaboration with the industry because of the need for access to innovative new drugs and funding, etc. In order to preserve EORTC independence, EORTC studies must comply with the following basic requirements 1) Clinical study protocol must undergo EORTC pee-review procedures. Input of the academics in the design and the control arm. 2) The clinical study database must be under the full control of EORTC 3) Study primary endpoints must be analysed by independent statistician and reviewed by an Independent Data Monitoring Committee 4) Study results must be published in scientific journal 5) the study bio-samples must be under the custodianship of EORTC.Located in Brussels, the EORTC Headquarters is a unique facility in Europe. It provides scientific, legal, logistic and administrative support to the clinical and translational research activities of the EORTC cooperative groups (protocol development, data management, statistical analysis, new drugs development, translational research, physical and virtual biobanking, advanced imaging, quality of life, regulatory and ethical affairs management, training, Pharmacovigilance and Quality Assurance). The EORTC Headquarters staff is constituted by 180 highly experienced and trained professionals. Since 1991, the EORTC Fellowship Program has allowed more than 100 medical doctors, statisticians and health scientists from all over the world to do research project at the EORTC.

A credible EU lobbying transparency register should include names of individual lobbyists and the issues that they try to influence, provide precise and comparable financial information on lobbying and have effective sanctions to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information disclosed. In an effort to arrive at a more objective way of calculating lobbying expenditures, we follow guidelines that result from consultations with public interest organizations, professionals working on lobby transparency as well as experts of US lobby disclosure legislation. Our registration is therefore providing a more comprehensive calculation of our expenses for activities that aim to influence the policy formulation and decision-making processes of the European Institutions, a list of those who, on behalf of EPHA, carry out such activities.Our registration in based on the guidelines for transparent registration developed by the Civil Society Contact Group and ALTER-EU.

The results serve as a basis for student urbanism and architecture to elaborate an urbanistic project for this specific public space. Students in urbanism from the Erasmushogeschool have also been asked to develop urbanistic proposals for the Maelbeek park.Also for Place Jean Rey, workgroups will be scheduled to brainstorm on the desired urban functions, in preparation of an architectural competition which will be launched in 2014.In 2013, EQuAMA prepared the implementation of an urban furniture around the central green area on Place Luxemburg. The effect would be to create one big table - \u201ca European table\u201d - inviting people to an attractive place where they can eat together and share experiences. The furniture has a spatial dimension but at the same time allows to tell the story of the European Quarter in an informal way, being a proximity of actors of Europe who share an area to meet, to talk, to get together. The average 300 places will definitely provide an added-value to the area during lunch- time, but also during the famous apero\u2019s evening on Thursday and even beyond. EQuAMA intends to launch the furniture between June and October 2014 on Place Luxembourg, allowing to have a first feedback on the experiment by the end of the year.In its ambition to turn the European Quarter into a second city-center, EQuAMA believes that the cultural sector has a central role, as cultural activity and urban revival go hand in hand. Art and culture stimulate dialogue between people and social groups and they encourage the imagination of possible futures.To that extend, EQuAMA intends to transform the mute windows in the European Quarter into visually attractive ground floors, by introducing artistic interventions. A walkway between the different ground floors will turn the European Quarter into a museum with rooms/halls spread out all through the district. Each exhibition will have its main theme, allowing a global coherent concept by way of thematic walkways. 3 or 4 exhibitions per year will be proposed. The main theme will link the ground floors and will preferably also have a link with the quarter and the cultural institutions. EQuAMA is currently looking for funds in order to launch the production phase in order to be operational with a first exhibition in 2014.', 'area_of_interest': 'sub-national;European', 'countries': 'BELGIUM', 'extra_financial_info': '', 'fax_number': '', 'financial_year': '01/2013\r\n - \r\n 12/2013', 'goals': u'The European Quarter in Brussels has become a rather mono-functional business centre. That was the starting point of the \u201cmixity panel\u201d organised by the European Quarter Fund in May 2011 looking for plans and ideas to introduce a mixture of functions into the quarter and transform it into a multifunctional attractive area. The conclusions of the mixity panel resulted in 2012 in the set-up of the non-profit organisation EQuAMA or European Quarter Area Management Association. The short term vision implies attracting users and visitors to lively, animated public spaces whereas in a second phase the European Quarter should become an attractive area for permanent residence along with commercial development. EQuAMA will gradually transform public spaces into Urban Lifestyle Points (ULP) by thinking, creating and making the space live. An ULP is a public space with a clear identity and positioning through its design and proposed animations and events.The strategic role of EQuAMA in relation to public space is defined as a laboratory in which new ways of using public space on a temporary basis will be tested, experimented, in order to hand over (call or tender) the long term development to the existing, competent actors, such as ADT/ATO or Beliris.In a first stage, the experimenting role will be deployed around 3 themes: new ways of conviviality around the lunch break, how can wayfinding contribute to the EQ\u2019s identity and thirdly, how can new services and commerces contribute to the social life in the European Quarter?EQuAMA can also act both as event organiser or as facilitator providing administrative and logistic support to event/exhibition organisers. Communication about the European Quarter (development of the quarter, animations, events, ongoing construction sites) and promotion of the quarter as an attractive pole concludes the mission.EQuAMA will focus its actions on users, fostering continuous dialogue and exchanges with all stakeholders.', 'head_office_address': u'21\xa0Rue Brederode\xa0\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Brussels\xa01000\r\n BELGIUM', 'id': '646724913522-40', 'lobbying_expenditure': '', 'lobbying_section': 'VI - Organisations representing local, regional and municipal authorities, other public or mixed entities, etc.', 'lobbying_subsection': 'Other public or mixed entities, etc.', 'lobbyists_contact_position': 'Director', 'name': 'European Quarter Area Management Association', 'networking': '', 'num_natural_members': '12', 'num_org_members': '', 'org_members': '', 'register_url': 'http://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultation/displaylobbyist.do?id=646724913522-40', 'registration_date': '24/04/14 15:19:12', 'retrieved_at': '2014-12-03T06:20:27.082634', 'telephone': u'(+32)\xa02 549 02 66', 'update_date': '24/04/14 15:21:44'} ALIASES Fields of interest for e-mail alerts on consultations and roadmaps; {'activities': 'Influencing on regulations that affect Amateur Radio.', 'area_of_interest': 'sub-national;national;European;global', 'countries': 'AUSTRIA;BELGIUM;BULGARIA;CROATIA;CYPRUS;CZECH REPUBLIC;DENMARK;ESTONIA;FINLAND;FRANCE;GERMANY;GREECE;HUNGARY;IRELAND;ITALY;LATVIA;LITUANIA;LUXEMBOURG;MALTA;NETHERLANDS;POLAND;PORTUGAL;ROMANIA;SLOVAKIA;SLOVENIA;SPAIN;SWEDEN;UNITED KINGDOM;ANDORRA;ARGENTINA;BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA;BRAZIL;CANADA;CHILE;COSTA RICA;CUBA;DOMINICAN REPUBLIC;ICELAND;INDIA;JAPAN;MACEDONIA, FORMER YUGOSLAV REPUBLIC OF;MEXICO;MONTENEGRO;MOROCCO;NEW ZEALAND;NORWAY;QATAR;RUSSIA, FEDERATION OF;SERBIA;SOUTH AFRICA;SRI LANKA;SUADI ARABIA;SWITZERLAND;TURKEY;UKRAINE;UNITED STATES;URUGUAY;VENEZUELA', 'extra_financial_info': '', 'fax_number': 'P.O.

To that end, they should: \u2022\tbe ambitious in their goals for real liberalisation,\u2022\tachieve a broad and deep coverage of services sectors in WTO members and acceding countries, as well as in regional and bilateral trading partners involved in trade negotiations,\u2022\tobtain the widest possible standstill commitments starting at the beginning of each new negotiations, \u2022\tgo well beyond these standstills, in order to remove or reduce as far as possible barriers to trade and investment in all services sectors.Remaining impediments to substantially full market access and national treatment should be liberalised progressively on an agreed transition schedule. Particular attention should be paid to those services where, not enough progress has been made since the conclusion of the Uruguay Round signed in Marrakech in 1994.5.\tThe cross-border delivery of services in electronic form is of growing importance for many services sectors. Therefore, specific attention needs to be paid in the international trade in services negotiations to improving commitments which facilitate that mode of supply for all services sectors. 6.\tInternational trade in services negotiations should achieve greater liberalisation in all four modes of supply of services: cross-border supply, consumption abroad, commercial presence and presence of natural persons. 7.\tClose monitoring of countries' ratification and implementation at all relevant part of trade agreements should be conducted.8.\tCountries acceding to the WTO must make strong and comprehensive commitments to services liberalisation as part of their accession process.9.\tAmong the goals which should be reflected in the commitments made in national schedules the following are of major importance:a)\tThe right to establish and operate competitively;b)\tForeign investors should have the same access to domestic markets as domestic companies;c)\tFreedom to provide cross-border services in highly international-oriented sectors;d)\tRemoval of barriers (nationality, residence requirements, etc.) to the posting of key personnel;e)\tExceptions to commitments should be precise, transparent, temporary and limited to the minimum required for their purpose;f)\tExisting investments should be grandfathered;10.\tPro-competitive principles to rule-making should be developed, while preserving appropriate regulatory frameworks. 11.\tPolitical and public support for trade liberalisation in services sectors will require greater understanding of the benefits of trade liberalisation and the negotiating processes by which liberalisation is achieved.", 'head_office_address': u'168\xa0Avenue de Cortenbergh\xa0\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Brussels\xa01000\r\n BELGIUM', 'id': '3562594969-02', 'lobbying_expenditure': u'200000\r\n \xa0\u20ac - 250000\r\n \xa0\u20ac', 'lobbying_section': 'II - In-house lobbyists and trade/professional associations', 'lobbying_subsection': 'Trade, business & professional associations', 'lobbyists_contact_position': 'Managing Director', 'name': 'EUROPEAN SERVICES FORUM', 'networking': '1)ESF works closely with BUSINESSEUROPE for the daily operations, as well as for the legal, social and fiscal matters.2)ESF is member of the informal "Global Services Coalition" (GSC), a gathering of similar coalitions of services industries looking at international trade in services negotiations.3)The Global Services Network (GSN) is an informal network of individuals interested in global trade in services issues.', 'register_url': 'http://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultation/displaylobbyist.do?id=3562594969-02', 'registration_date': '15/01/09 15:40:24', 'retrieved_at': '2014-12-03T06:20:48.289377', 'telephone': u'(+322)\xa02307514', 'update_date': '19/12/13 12:43:51'} ALIASES Fields of interest for e-mail alerts on consultations and roadmaps; {'activities': 'Consultation submissions and participation in EC meetings on issues relating to any mode of transport - air, maritime, road, rail and inland navigation - as well as intermodality, logistics, supply chain and CO2, reduction of transport emissions, research and innovation in the area of freight transport.

The principal grades produced by ETS members are toilet tissue, household towels, facial tissue, hankies and industrial towels and wipes. The tissue industry is a "Fast Moving Consumer Goods" industry. Tissue products have very specific characteristics, all of which contribute to enhancing the users\' hygiene and comfort. In order to meet customer expectations and to remain a successful industry, the tissue industry also needs continuous innovation and development. The role of ETS in this respect is to serve the industry by assisting in the management of many non-competitive issues, such as regulatory changes, and by maintaining relationships with external stakeholders such as authorities and consumer groups.

Pour influencer l\u2019\xe9conomie et la soci\xe9t\xe9 au sens large, ils se doivent de parler d\u2019une m\xeame voix et d\u2019agir de concert au niveau europ\xe9en. C\u2019est la raison d\u2019\xeatre de la CES.2.

D\u2019autres structures syndicales telles qu\u2019 EUROCADRES (Conseil des cadres europ\xe9ens) et la EFREP/FERPA (F\xe9d\xe9ration europ\xe9enne des retrait\xe9s et personnes \xe2g\xe9es) op\xe8rent sous l\u2019\xe9gide de la CES. En outre, la CES coordonne les activit\xe9s des 41 CSIR (Conseils syndicaux interr\xe9gionaux), qui organisent la coop\xe9ration syndicale au niveau transfrontalier. La CES est un des partenaires sociaux europ\xe9ens et est reconnue par l\u2019Union europ\xe9enne, par le Conseil de l\u2019Europe et par l\u2019AELE en tant qu\u2019unique organisation syndicale interprofessionnelle repr\xe9sentative au niveau europ\xe9en.3. La CES est le partenaire social europ\xe9en qui repr\xe9sente les travailleursLa Conf\xe9d\xe9ration europ\xe9enne des syndicats et ses organisations affili\xe9es \xe0 travers l\u2019Europe est donc, dans les faits et dans le Trait\xe9, un acteur de la construction europ\xe9enne depuis sa cr\xe9ation en 1973 et encore plus depuis le 31 octobre 1991, date de l\u2019accord sign\xe9 par les partenaires sociaux europ\xe9ens qui leur donnait la possibilit\xe9 de n\xe9gocier des accords imposables ensuite aux institutions europ\xe9ennes. Cet accord du 31 octobre 1991 sign\xe9 entre la Conf\xe9d\xe9ration europ\xe9enne des syndicats, le Centre europ\xe9en des entreprises \xe0 participation publique (CEEP), l\u2019Union des conf\xe9d\xe9rations de l\u2019industrie et des employeurs d\u2019 Europe (UNICE) depuis BUSINESSEUROPE a \xe9t\xe9 int\xe9gr\xe9 dans le trait\xe9 d'Amsterdam. Ces partenaires disposent donc d\u2019un pouvoir r\xe9el sur un accord constitutionnel communautaire, ordinairement \xe9labor\xe9 de mani\xe8re inter-gouvernementale.Dans le m\xeame temps, la CES n\xe9gocie avec les employeurs au moyen du \xab dialogue social europ\xe9en \xbb . Cela se traduit par un dialogue social sectoriel dans 31 secteurs industriels diff\xe9rents, coordonn\xe9 par les f\xe9d\xe9rations syndicales europ\xe9ennes. Enfin, la CES est la seule organisation europ\xe9enne repr\xe9sentant l\u2019ensemble des salari\xe9s d\u2019Europe au sein du Comit\xe9 du dialogue social interprofessionnel. Le dialogue social est la pierre angulaire de l\u2019action de la CES.Les f\xe9d\xe9rations syndicales europ\xe9ennes affili\xe9es \xe0 la CES sont \xe9galement les acteurs majeurs du dialogue social mis en place au sein des comit\xe9s paritaires sectoriels europ\xe9ens. Suite \xe0 la reconnaissance officielle, par l\u2019UE, du droit des partenaires sociaux \xe0 n\xe9gocier des accords-cadres au niveau europ\xe9en, la CES a sign\xe9 trois accords-cadres europ\xe9ens avec ses homologues du patronat, qui ont \xe9t\xe9 adopt\xe9s par le Conseil des ministres et mis en \u0153uvre sous la forme de directives. Ils concernent le cong\xe9 parental (1996), le travail \xe0 temps partiel (1997) et les contrats \xe0 dur\xe9e d\xe9termin\xe9e (1999). Par ailleurs, les syndicats et les employeurs ont mis en \u0153uvre d\u2019autres accords conclus au niveau europ\xe9en dans le cadre du dialogue social \xab autonome \xbb comme le statut des t\xe9l\xe9travailleurs (2002), le stress li\xe9 au travail (2004) et le harc\xe8lement et la violence au travail (2007).

Its vibrant student community has been paving the way for democracy, pluralism and inclusiveness throughout the continent \u2013 traveling to the FSU before the fall of the Berlin Wall, demonstrating in Durban, bringing the first international Jewish conference to Turkey, reinvigorating student Jewish life in Serbia immediately after the fall of Milosevic. Today EUJS students and young adults serve the civic society in Europe with a strong and persistent voice, instilling the values encrypted in Judaism into the broader society on the continent.International Memberships:EUJS is a constituent member of the European Youth Forum, the leading platform for more than 98 national youth councils and international NGOs, and is the only Jewish organization represented at that level. It is supported by the Council of Europe, the European Commission, all recognized Jewish organizations, and is a member of the World Union of Jewish Students (WUJS).

The Youth Forum brings together tens of millions of young people from all over Europe, organised in order to represent their common interests.The Youth Forum works to empower young people to participate actively in society to improve their own lives by representing and advocating their needs and interest and those of their organisations. In the current uncertain political and social context that affects young people, they can be powerful catalysts for positive change and contributors of innovative solutions to Europe\u2019s problems.To overcome the challenges faced by young people, the European Youth Forum has three main goals:- Greater youth participation- Stronger youth organisations- Increased youth autonomy and

Apart from requiring the co-ordination and alignment of individual member positions, the task of safeguarding common interests involves the projection of a coherent, unified policy and image to the outside world.Producer Responsibility has evolved into a proven concept in many countries as implementation of the European and other national policy goals. Industry in more than 30 countries all over the world are using producer responsibility as one economic tool to ensure the collection and recycling / recovery of used (household) packaging. Member compliance schemes of EXPRA working toward this objective are today in place in thirteen EU member states, viz., Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Romania, Slovakia, and Spain but also span to Israel, Canada, Macedonia, Norway and Turkey.The members of EXPRA wish to demonstrate that the recycling of used packaging is an important step on the path towards the sustainable development that is necessary to safeguard our planet for future generations. Their work in and outside Europe is both successful and transparent.

Competition in the search marketplace benefits consumers through increased choice, innovation to improve products, and the transparent display of search results. When search providers discriminate by manipulating results in order to promote a favoured product and demote competitors, consumers suffer.2.\tInnovationConsumers also benefit when a competitive market forces search providers to continue innovating and develop the best solutions for online search.

Through different activities, including advocacy among policy and decision-makers, public consultations, monitoring the Horizon 2020 legislative process, expert advice on brain research to the relevant legislative and scientific stakeholders, widespread brain awareness campaigns at European level, FENS aims at promoting continuous research and further developments in brain research, which are triggers for ameliorating the devastating effects of brain diseases and the associated costs. FENS contributed with key information to the creation of the European Brain Council (EBC) report \u201cThe economic costs of brain disorders in Europe\u201d, which was launched in 2010. This is an essential research document taken as a benchmark by many European research organizations, as well as by national and European institutions; meanwhile, the report provides valuable insights on brain research at European level, which helps defining the brain research area and its funding within the next framework programme \u2013 Horizon 2020. The branding of May 2013 as the European Month of the Brain (EMoB) programme by the European Commission was a result of an extensive campaign initiated by the EBC and FENS.Currently, over 20 events are carried out in Europe by FENS members under the EMoB umbrella (please see http://www.fens.org/news/?id=1163), whilst FENS, together with its partners, the EBC and European Science Foundation (ESF) are organizing \u201cThe Prospects of Brain Research within Horizon 2020: responding efficiently to Europe\u2019s societal needs\u201c conference - a European Month of the Brain at the European Parliament, on 30 May.

As more and more experts start to emphasize, transition towards a more sustainable socioeconomic model requires in the first place social change. Social resilience means that all citizens, regardless of their sex, ethnicity or level of schooling, can contribute to the functioning of society. Therefore, the dominant economic model, which stresses competition as the sole key to social development, must be complemented with other models in order to find answers to social exclusion and poverty. Flora develops these complementary models by co-constructing expertise with groups (men and women) that are excluded in a competitive labour market. Flora co-constructs this expertise, not 'on' the target groups, but 'with' them, by using an appropriate methodology and by networking. Citizens are included, not as 'objects' of inclusion, but as sources of expertise and talents. Flora always works at multi levels. At the microlevel, men and women who normally are excluded from the construction of knowledge, from the labour market and from society in general, are given a forum (using an appropriate model of partnership and methodology). At the mesolevel, organisations (economic, educational, cultural, ...) are approached not as 'tools' for the implementation of a top-down policy (on activation, education etc) but as places where the co-construction with the target groups (or citizens in general) can be institutionalised. Flora has developed a methodology called 'From I To We' that helps professionals in organisations to approach the people of their target groups not as 'clients' of their services, but as coproductors. At the macrolevel, Flora endeavours to create support for this innovative approach both in the academic and political sphere. The co-production approach also requires innovative, resilient models of governance. If the 'top down approach seems to be met by distrust on the part of the citizens (indignados...), the alternative cannot be to simply leave the initiative to the citizens on the street, since they lack representativity and legitimacy. The method of co-construction permits to structure the organisation of society in a way that is neiter top-down, nor simply bottom-up. It implies a process in which different levels (micro/citizens, meso/organisations and macro/academic and political)co-construct innovative social and economic practices. In terms of systems analysis, Flora is mainly working on increasing the resilience of the socio-economic system, by developing a complementary agenda and methodology (paradigm). Since a paradigm is a social construct, it is important that this development process is done in a transparent and democratic way .Therefore, Flora is not a 'centre' but a 'network' of expertise. Through networking, a maximum number of citizens, organisations and (political and academic) institutions can be included in the coproduction process. The activities of Flora (as a network) do not aim at developing 'products' that improve the performance of individual citizens or organisations within a competitive context, but primarily aim at redefining (in a participatory way) societal models in order to bring about a more inclusive, just and sustainable society. Therefore, Flora works mainly at the service of public services (fighting poverty and exclusion, understanding the societal impact of technologies etc...).", 'head_office_address': u'33\xa0Rue du progres\xa0\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n P.O. box:\xa04\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Brussels\xa01030\r\n BELGIUM', 'id': '07509738033-94', 'lobbying_expenditure': u'350000\r\n \xa0\u20ac - 400000\r\n \xa0\u20ac', 'lobbying_section': 'III - Non-governmental organisations', 'lobbying_subsection': 'Non-governmental organisations, platforms and networks and similar', 'lobbyists_contact_position': 'coordinator', 'name': 'Flora Network of expertise on resilience, gender and interconnected economics', 'networking': "Flora collaborates with other networks such as Smart CSO's, Millenia 2015, AWID, Community of Practice on Gender Mainstreamin in ESF, ...The coordinator of Flora is a full member of the Club of Rome - EU Chapter.Most networks in the fields in which Flora is active, aim at increasing the participation of persons (women, people in poverty...) within existing structures or development processes. In terms of systems theory, they endeavour to 'streamline' more people into the dominant (competitive) mould, thus increasing the efficiency of these systems. It is a strategic choice of Flora not to adhere to this kind of confederation, not because we disagree with their work or aim, but mainly because we focus on complementary strategies (that are so far underdeveloped, which explains current social crises). Flora focuses more on redefining the systems themselves so as to make them more inclusive and sustainable (taking into account the needs and interests of vulnerable groups, including future generations). Most of the networks active in the field of 'sustainability' focus on the natural environment. Flora often works together with these organisations but without formal membership, since the focus of Flora is primarily on social resilience and transition towards a new societal model. Flora is active in several international forums with an aim to find actors in other countries with similar aims and approaches. However, since Flora is doing spearhead action-research, there are momentarily few comparable 'networks' of expertise.

Relating discussion topics closely to current legislative issues and the concerns of legislators, meetings of the Forum offer a highly relevant agenda for Members of the European Parliament and other policymakers.Policy makers can shape the discussion and benefit from interaction with the leading technical and consumer experts in the automotive field.

Friends of the Earth Europe believes that this register fails basic transparency standards and that it does not provide full EU lobbying transparency. When registering, we have therefore chosen to give all relevant information that we consider necessary for lobbying transparency. A credible EU lobbying transparency register should include names of individual lobbyists and the issues that they try to influence, provide precise and comparable financial information on lobbying, and have effective sanctions to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information disclosed. In an effort to arrive at a more objective way of calculating lobbying expenditures, we follow guidelines that result from consultations with public interest organisations, professionals working on lobby transparency as well as experts of US lobby disclosure legislation. Our registration is therefore providing a more comprehensive calculation of our expenses for activities that aim to influence the policy formulation and decision-making processes of the European institutions, and a list of those who, on behalf of Friends of the Earth Europe, carry out such activities.
