| Title | Making Lobbying Regulation Work: Enhancing the Lobbying Transparency in the European Union |
| Summary | This thesis is analyzing current state of affairs in regulating lobbying on the EU level and discussing about the necessary reform of the existent regulatory system. First, the author is analyzing theoretical justifications for regulating lobbying. After that, by exploring current lobbying practices and specific lobbying regulations in three “core” EU institutions – the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council of Europe – the author is determining key problem areas and pointing out specificities of lobbying in each institution. Afterwards, the focus is on recent initiatives on regulating lobbying in the EU, where the emergence and evolution of the Transparency Register is particularly analyzed and assessed. Lastly, the author is discussing and answering the research question, by proposing the mandatory Transparency Register, an introduction of stricter Code of Conduct for lobbyists and comprehensive system of monitoring which would include all three “core” institutions. |
