LobbyFacts is a platform that provides data on lobbying in the institutions of the European Union. The platform allows users to analyze the activities of lobbyists and understand their influence on EU decisions.

• Database: LobbyFacts offers a comprehensive database with information on nearly 12,000 organizations that lobby in the EU. This data includes lobbying expenditures, number of employees, meetings with the European Commission, and access to EU institutions[5].
• Analysis Tools: The platform enables users to filter, sort, and analyze data to track trends and developments in lobbying[3][4].

The main mission of LobbyFacts is to promote transparency in EU lobbying and inform the public about the activities of lobbyists. The platform is operated by organizations such as Corporate Europe Observatory and LobbyControl, which advocate for more transparency and ethical lobbying[1][4].

LobbyFacts supports initiatives for a mandatory lobbying register to strengthen the integrity of the political decision-making process in the EU. By providing data and analysis tools, the platform helps monitor the influence of lobbyists and prevent abuse[1][4].

LobbyFacts is an important contribution to promoting transparency and accountability in the EU. The platform is used by journalists, activists, and researchers to investigate the activities of lobbyists and assess their impact on EU policy[3][5].
