Mir scheint dieser Ausgang wie so eine Drehtür, bei der die meisten den Moment verpassen und wieder am selben Ort reinkommen, wo sie rausgingen. #revolvingdoors

#revolvingdoors should be prohibited. Conflict of interest is a lethal poison for democracy.

Re @GeoffroyDidier @franceinfo @FortuneMagazine 5/5 Et enfin @BernardBenhamou rappelle très a propos que ce conncubinage avait été accusé d’être la cause du retard de regulation des Big Tech aux USA.
Je vis cettte nomination comme une gifle.

“Judit Baumholczer was a policy advisor to MEP Miriam Dalli and claims that she played a ‘central role’ in drafting the position of the Social Democratic group with regard to the European Green Deal and ‘higher’ climate ambitions for 2030. 

A year after leaving the Parliament, Baumholczer became a lobbyist for Shell.” #revolvingdoors

🤔New media adviser in Envi Cssr's cabinet comes straight from lobbygroup EuropaBio. #RevolvingDoors

🚩Problematic as many issues on table DG Envi - including new GMOs, bioeconomy - are big topics for EuropaBio members.

👉CEO and Testbiotech's letter:

#EU #BigTech #Lobbying #RevolvingDoors: "Big Tech might be the EU's biggest lobby spender by sector, but a little-known band of economic consultancies are still managing to fly under the radar on behalf of their tech clients. These consultancies are effectively 'spamming the regulator' with supposedly neutral reports to influence the EU's competition policy and smooth the path for Big Tech monopolies and mergers. What's worse, the Commission's DG Competition in charge of competition policy enjoys a regular revolving door with these consultancies."

This is a public service announcement for EU parliamentarians and commissioners.

Remember folks:

❌ Cash bribes

✅ Lobbying
✅ Revolving doors

Rule of thumb: old-school corruption BAD, institutional corruption GOOD.
