[edit] Transparency unthinkable? Financial secrecy common among EU think tanks
Think tanks are increasingly important players in the political landscape in
the EU capital Brussels, but their influence is most often not matched with basic
financial transparency, including about sources of funding. The least
transparent are the radical “free market” think tanks; the fastest growing
sector within the Brussels think tanks landscape.
[edit] Covert industry funding fuels the expansion of radical rightwing EU think tanks
Think tanks advocating radical "free market" ideology are rapidly expanding their presence in Brussels. Their funding sources are shrouded in secrecy, but CEO research shows that large corporations like BAT and Exxon Mobil are eagerly financing the growth of these think tanks, who systematically oppose social and environmental protection.
[edit] ALTER-EU Launched
The Alliance for Lobbying Transparency and Ethics Regulation (ALTER-EU) has now been officially launched. The first ALTER-EU press conference (July 19th in Brussels) was attended by EU Commissioner Siim Kallas, who confirmed that he will propose an online register for EU lobbyists. Kallas, however, still needs to be convinced of the need for mandatory (as opposed to voluntary) lobbying disclosure. ALTER-EU's founding statement is supported by over 150 civil society groups, trade unions, academics and public affairs firms. Sign-ons are still very welcome!
