It’s not just BASF of course.

On #LobbyFacts you can check out any lobby group active in Brussels – just so long as they are registered in the EU’s (voluntary) register.

BASF is also a member of many other industry lobby groups. #LobbyFacts can track their spending today & in the past.

Schon merkwürdig: #Katar betreibt offensichtlich massiv Lobbyarbeit in Brüssel - und keine einzige Lobbyagentur im EU-Lobbyregister führt das Land als Kunden? Spricht für enorme Schlupflöcher im Register. Mit #Lobbyfacts kann man die wenigen Infos zu #Qatargate zusammenkratzen https://twitter.com/corporateeurope/status/1602347431244759040
