List of EU lobby firms by income
-
There are at least 144 lobbying firms in Brussels who want information on what the EU is doing (Photo: Worst Lobby Awards)
EUobserver's list of lobby companies based in Brussels or nearby was put together by trawling through industry registries and speaking to contacts in the sector.
The financial figures are annual turnover or EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) based on the companies' latest filings at the National Bank of Belgium or other national authorities, unless otherwise indicated in brackets. They have been rounded to the nearest €0.1 million.
