ALTER-EU Coalition
The Alliance for Lobbying Transparency and Ethics Regulation (ALTER-EU) is a coalition of over 200 public interest groups and trade unions concerned with the increasing influence exerted by corporate lobbyists on the political agenda in Europe, the resulting loss of democracy in EU decision-making and the postponement, weakening, or blockage even, of urgently needed progress on social, environmental and consumer-protection reforms.
ALTER-EU is governed by a Steering Committee whose members are:
- Paul de Clerck, Friends of the Earth Europe: Paul.declerck[at]foeeurope.org
- Olivier Hoedeman, Corporate Europe Observatory: Olivier[at]corporateeurope.org
- Nina Katzemich, LobbyControl: Nina.katzemich[at]lobbycontrol.de
- Jorgo Riss, Greenpeace European Unit: Jorgo.riss[at]greenpeace.org
More information about steering committee members can be found here.
The coalition has a part time Coordinator, who can be reached at coordinator[at]alter-eu.org
The work of ALTER-EU is supported by ALTER-EU asbl, an organisation with legal not for profit status registered under Belgian law, which looks for and administrates funding opportunities and provides administrative support to allow the Coalition to organise its activities.
