Which lobby is behind the scenes?
The powerful lobbies and their discreet work behind the scenes is a regular topic of conversation. The grass-roots organisation Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO) has systematised these conversations. CEO's declared goal is to create openness in connection with the work of lobbyists and thereby ensure transparency in legislative processes and the work of the EU by showing the face of modern lobbyism. CEO is one of the presenters of the award "Worst EU Lobbying Awards", which went to BMW, Daimler-Benz, and Porsche last year because of their efforts to water down the EU's goal for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. There is still little openness about the 15,000 Brussels lobbyists even though the Commission launched its voluntary register in July. Erik Wesselius, researcher with CEO and author of the book, "Europe Inc.", offers practical advice on how it is still possible to reveal what goes on behind the facade.
Politiken's media journalist Marie Louise Sjølie is the hostess.
