Methodology
Who are Lobbyists?
The most recognised lobbyists overall are:
o 66% : Trade associations
o 58% : Public affairs agencies
o 57% : Professional organisations
A Brussels particularity: 73% of EU-level respondents deem
trade unions as lobbyists contrasting with the Europe-
wide average (40%)
How to master_eu_interest_representation_the_bm_guide
Positive Aspects of Lobbying
No overwhelming agreement across Europe on the
most positive aspect of lobbying
Ensuring the participation of social and economic
actors and citizens in the political process
emerged as the leading response (37%)
How to master_eu_interest_representation_the_bm_guide
Negative Aspects of Lobbying
Lack of transparency remains the most prevalent
weakness in lobbying practice
Giving undue weight in the process to elites and
wealthy represents the 2nd most negative aspect of
lobbying but figures vary across Europe:
– European average: 24%
– Norway: 55%
– Hungary and Romania: both 40%
– Spain: 5%
– Italy: 3%
How to master_eu_interest_representation_the_bm_guide
Transparency
Nearly 9 out of 10 respondents across
Europe either strongly agree (25%) or agree
(64%) with the statement that “ethical and
transparent lobbying helps policy
development”
Transparency
The least transparent lobbyists: journalists
(41%) and law firms (38%)
The most transparent: Trade associations and
federations (65%) and professional organisations
(60%), with companies (57%), trade unions (56%)
and NGOs (55%)
How to master_eu_interest_representation_the_bm_guide
Public affairs agencies perform
poorly in comparison with the other
organisations
The majority (56%) of
respondents across Europe
think that lobbying is not
sufficiently regulated in
their country
Figures are high in
Portugal, Spain, the Czech
Republic and Italy
93%
100%
87%
88%
Regulation of Lobbying
This view is most strongly present in Portugal
(88%), Poland (87%), Italy (83%) and at EU level (79%)
Norway is the only country where more than half of
respondents (51%) do not think a mandatory register would
be useful
Lobbying Effectiveness
Trade associations are perceived as the
most effective in lobbying, with 62% of
respondents across Europe ranking them
as „effective‟ or „very effective‟
Exception in Germany: respondents found
NGOs (78%) and public affairs agencies
(71%) to be the most effective

would you say „corporate‟ lobbying efforts are in each sector?

Poor Practices
A significant number of lobbyists in both the „corporate‟
(37%) and NGO (39%) sectors have difficulty
understanding the political and legislative process
Around a third of respondents said that each sector
comes into the process too late or too early
One in four respondents said that there is still a
significant problem with „corporate‟ lobbyists offering
what are perceived to be unethical inducements

Channels of Influence
The Europe-wide data suggests that the sources of
information that respondents find most useful are
internal meetings and documents from national
authorities
Social media and traditional media, including media
websites, appear to be seen as not particularly

  • 24. Who are Lobbyists? The most recognised lobbyists overall are: o 66% : Trade associations o 58% : Public affairs agencies o 57% : Professional organisations A Brussels particularity: 73% of EU-level respondents deem trade unions as lobbyists contrasting with the Europe- wide average (40%)
  • 26. Positive Aspects of Lobbying No overwhelming agreement across Europe on the most positive aspect of lobbying Ensuring the participation of social and economic actors and citizens in the political process emerged as the leading response (37%)
  • 28. Negative Aspects of Lobbying Lack of transparency remains the most prevalent weakness in lobbying practice Giving undue weight in the process to elites and wealthy represents the 2nd most negative aspect of lobbying but figures vary across Europe: – European average: 24% – Norway: 55% – Hungary and Romania: both 40% – Spain: 5% – Italy: 3%

Notas del editor

  1. Frequently covered in the international media, lobbying is high on the public debate. Leading media across address and criticise the (potentially) illegitimate influence on politics and scandals on national and European level, such as the resignation of Commissioner John Dalli in 2012, have increased scepticism towards lobbying.
  2. Like its predecessors, this fifth Burson-Marsteller Guide to Effective Lobbying in Europe aims to contribute to a better understanding of what makes good lobbying. This report seeks to document perceptions, opinions and the evolution in the way that government stakeholders perceive lobbying – what works, and what doesn’t.
  3. EU-level lobbying in Brussels shows a number of distinctions when compared to lobbying at a national level. Those surveyed in Brussels have a far broader definition of a ‘lobbyist’than their national counterparts and have a higher perception of lobbying in terms of transparency and effectiveness.
  4. Raising the local or national importance of an issue seems to be a less positive aspect than in previous surveys. While identified as the most positive aspect by 50% of respondents in 2009, only 20% of respondents in this year’s survey said it was the most positive aspect of lobbying.
  5. 48% of respondents in Brussels believe that ethical and transparent lobbying helps policy development, compared with an average of 25% across the EU. They see the main positive role of lobbying as ensuring the participation of social and economic actors and citizens in the political process and providing useful and timely information.
  6. There is growing demand for mandatory regulation of lobbying, but this is a demand for transparency, not a rejection of lobbying. In fact, transparent stakeholders who understand the decision-making process and provide useful information are highly valued by policy-makers in Brussels.
  7. In Brussels the weight given to transparency means that there is growing demand for further regulation in the form of a mandatory register (79%) and many expect it to come within the nextthree years (48%).
  8. In the corporate sector, the energy and healthcare sectors were perceived to have the most effective lobbyists, scoring 68% and 60% respectively.With regard to NGOs, the lobbyists perceived to be the most effective are those working on the environment (52%) and human rights (49%) sector.
  9. In Brussels the clear demand for transparency some companies continue to fail to be sufficiently transparent about the intereststhey represent (cited as a poor practice by 55% of respondents in Brussels – slightly higher than the European average 48%).
  10. The problems for NGOs in Brussels are: the most frequently-committed poor practice is basing a position on emotion rather than facts (75%) and, unlike companies, being too early or too late in the process (50%).
  11. In Brussels helpful sources of information include some cited at national level – internal meetings (84%), national authorities’ documents (78%) and written briefing material (75%) – but also many sources particularly valued in Brussels, including industry meetings (80% versus a European average of 62%) and, perhaps unsurprisingly, the EU institutions (87% compared with a European average of 52%). Industry associations’ websites (perceived as ‘helpful’ or ‘very helpful’ by 53% of respondents), NGO websites (41%) and corporate websites (43%) are seen as usefultools – certainly more so than at national level, where the scores for each of these are around 30%.
