This book sheds new light on how lobbying works in the European Union. Drawing on the first-hand professional experience of lobbyists, policymakers, and corporate and institutional stakeholders, combined with a sound academic foundation, it offers insights into successful lobbying strategies, such as how alliances are formed by interest groups in Brussels. The authors present key case studies, e.g. on the shelved EU-US trade deal Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), lobbying scandals, and the role of specific interest groups and EU Think-Tanks. Furthermore, they highlight efforts to improve transparency and ethical standards in EU decision-making, while also underscoring the benefits of lobbying in the context of decision-making. Understanding the tools and techniques of effective lobbying, as well as the dynamics and trends in EU lobbying, will allow professionals involved in the lobbying process, such as policymakers and corporate and institutional stakeholders, to improve their performance and achieve better results when pursuing their respective interests.

Dem EU-Lobbying eilt ein schlechter Ruf voraus. Die Brüsseler Lobbyingszene gilt als besonders korrupt und intransparent. Die Bürger assoziieren mit ihr üppige Arbeitsessen und geheime Absprachen. Das negative Image wurde durch Skandale wie die „Dalligate“ oder die „Cash-for-Amendments-Affäre“ noch verstärkt. Seither treten Lobbyisten lieber als Interessenvertreter, Consultants oder Public Affairs Manager auf. Dabei ist ihre Expertise ein elementarer Bestandteil europäischer Gesetzgebungsprozesse. Die versuchte Einflussnahme ist nicht per se zu verurteilen, wohl aber die mangelnde Transparenz. Die zunehmende Professionalisierung und Differenzierung europäischer Interessen muss daher mit einer gesetzlichen Regulierung einhergehen.
