Letter to European Parliament's Legal Affairs committee ahead of 'Staff Regulations' vote

The Staff Regulations contain the ethics rules which govern 55,000 or more officials who work across the EU institutions. ALTER-EU considers that the current process to reform the Staff Regulations provides an opportunity to improve these ethics rules, especially those that relate to conflicts of interest during and after EU staff work for the EU.

In the hands of lobbyists: Is EU politics ruled by corporate check books?

In the hands of lobbyists
Start date: 
Tue, 2012-04-17 19:00
Location: 
Mundo-B, 26, Rue d'Edimbourg, 1050 Brussels

Lobby scandals have become a part of everyday life in political Brussels. For citizens and workers, EU decision-making – within the European Commission and its manifold “technical” expert groups, as well as in the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers – is far from being transparent.

You are invited to a panel discussion organised by:

  • AK EUROPA, the Brussels Office of the Austrian Federal Chamber of Labour, and
  • ÖGB Europabüro, the Brussels Office of the Austrian Trade Union Federation,

with the support of ALTER-EU.

What the squid did next: Goldman Sachs at the heart of European democracy

The power of Goldman Sachs did not come out of the blue. The Wall Street bank started building its European empire in 1986 – during Margaret Thatcher’s sweeping deregulation of the British financial sector – when it came to London and ingratiated itself with both major political parties.
