- sofixa 3y agoIn the EU, lobbyists need to get registered. Here's a few examples of registered organisations that lobby the EU: * the Electronic Frontier Foundation https://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultation/displaylobbyist.do?id=805637038375-01 https://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultatio... * the Mozilla Foundation https://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultation/displaylobbyist.do?id=133978448647-87 https://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultatio... Do you think it's corruption when they inform the EU of the risks of legislation (like eIDAS) and fight against potential loopholes (successfully in the case of eIDAS)?
