Introduzione di requisiti armonizzati nel mercato interno sulla trasparenza della rappresentanza d'interessi esercitata per conto di paesi terzi e modifica della direttiva (UE) 2019/1937

This directive introduces harmonized transparency requirements for lobbying activities on behalf of third countries within the EU. It seeks to establish uniform standards to prevent unequal competitive conditions and reduce compliance costs for cross-border lobbying. The focus is on disclosing activities that may influence political decision-making or legislative processes. Exceptions apply to diplomatic activities, legal advice, and academic research unless they are specifically aimed at exerting influence. The goal is to enhance democratic accountability and strengthen public trust.
