Additional Information
When we sum all staff costs, office expenditure and any other expenses related to interest representation activities regarding the year period it comes under 10000 €. This is due to multiple reasons: 1. There is not a single employee that handles strictly activities covered by the register. 2. The employees that work on them do this only occasionally besides other work duties. 3. Our institution is active and involved almost exclusively in domestic territory (Slovak Republic), our activities outside Slovak Republic are rather on an exceptional basis.
Commissioner Meetings
No recorded meetings with EU commissioners.
