Additional Information

This estimate of the annual costs is based on the percentage of the total cost of the PMI External Affairs office in Brussels and an estimate of the annual costs of activities by other PMI affiliates and subsidiaries directly related to representing interests of the EU Institutions, as of the most recent update of the registration details. The reported amount is therefore correct. We have taken a broad view in order to estimate the annual costs linked to activities covered by the Register, covering consultancy fees and membership fees to trade associations and other relevant organizations. Furthermore, the estimate also covers a broader set of outreach activities such as conferences, and other relevant events.
