In their own words

“LobbyControl promotes transparency and a vivid democracy. We campaign for more transparency of lobbying and a legal, institutional and societal framework that limits undue influence of lobbyists on both politics and the public at large. Our organisation moreover works to expose and challenge the privileged and biased access and influence enjoyed by big corporations and their lobby groups on EU…”
