As it says: "For years, campaigners have been calling for a legally-binding EU lobby register. This could lead to real sanctions for companies found to be misreporting."

This cartoon is entitled “The EU gets tough on lobbying”. On the left is a man in a tie kneeling and begging saying “Please will you fill in the register correctly?”. And on the right is a man in a tie with a briefcase labelled ‘lobbyist’ who is saying “I’d rather not, but thanks for asking.” Cartoon by Ralph Underhill.

This complaint resulted from our analysis about sheer corporate lobby firepower in EU, analysed by sector.
Big Tech, Energy, Banking and Chemicals dominated.
