"After almost 20 years, the Alliance for Lobby Transparency and Ethics Regulation in the EU (ALTER-EU) has ceased to exist."

"ALTER-EU was launched in 2005 when Commissioner Siim Kallas took Brussels by surprise and proposed to set up a lobby register, an idea that instantly faced a heavy backlash from corporate lobbyists and parts of the European Commission. In the following years, ALTER-EU was a key player in securing slow but crucial progress towards an EU lobby transparency register with teeth."

"ALTER-EU also ran impactful campaigns for improved revolving door rules for Commissioners and EU staff, for strong ethics rules for MEPs, and for measures to tackle the industry dominance of Commission advisory groups (the so-called 'expert groups')."

"By 2015 we could conclude that “lobby transparency and the need to preserve ethics and tackle conflicts of interest are on the agenda of the EU institutions”, but also that “none of the problems were tackled with the political will needed to actually resolve them” and that “the capture of decision-making by vested economic interests continues unchecked.”"
