Additional Information

Consistent with the revised Interinstitutional Agreement on the establishment of the Register, we have taken a broad view and have sought to capture all activities carried out with the objective of directly or indirectly influencing the formulation of EU policy. Our estimate includes expenses for personnel in and outside of Brussels to the extent they are involved in outreach to the EU institutions. Our estimate also includes costs relating to a broad universe of outreach and promotional activities (such as responding to Commission consultations, but also white papers, media activities, blogs etc.), conferences, sponsorships and other events. We have also reported all relevant fees paid to consultancies, law firms and trade associations for advocacy activities on our behalf. Please note that the Microsoft fiscal year starts in July and ends in June so the financial data correspond to this time frame.
