"Following the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty, Parliament’s powers have been strengthened and it is now colegislator in almost all areas under the ordinary legislative procedure. As a result, it is the focus of attention of an even larger number of lobbyists, who, moreover, play a key role in the open, pluralist dialogue on which a democratic system is based, and act as an important source of information for Members in the context of the performance of their duties.
In the light of these developments, against this constitutional background, and in keeping with their commitment to transparency, Parliament and the Commission have agreed to establish and maintain a joint register in order to keep a list of the names of, and exercise scrutiny over, the organisations and individuals who take part in the drafting and implementation of EU policies.
One of the important corrective measures necessary is to improve the rules on lobbying firms’ reporting of expenditure incurred for lobbying activities. The current legislation allows lobbyists to report much less than is actually incurred. Equally important is transparency with regard to the financial resources from which a lobbying and consulting company draws its revenue."@en1
