from the from the oak inside it's just part of the s.f. this and we have a meeting tomorrow but i didn't get tired today to to go to those i want to. visit ok. thank you very much. dresses is a small city it's a kind of provinces but that's on this earth. when you know a bit further about it's brussels is really the place. this is where the business is taking place this is where legislation is dot i think the figure is around

eighty percent of all it just states. which are. touching direct life of lupin citizens is actually initiated here thus. if you look at plus you money the epicenter of political power in europe you see the european commission on the one side next to the council of the e.u. . and all around that's where you find lobby offices most of them belonging to big multinational corporations and you find them also in all of the side streets all over to the european parliament and beyond. to finance a good lobby headquarters of large corporations to find industry lobby groups and their lobby operations being you know orchestrated from offices in that area. two thousand five hundred lobby structures are based in brussels fifteen thousand lobbyists. the second biggest blobby industry in the world only washington d.c.

is bigger. so are their european union legislation this is complicated as it goes through a lot of stages it always starts with the european commission they take. new initiatives for the for legislation for policies and then it goes through the institutions the parliaments the council of ministers. and from the moments that the european commission takes his very first steps in developing new illustration of new policies industry wants to be there to influence its.

ministrations of doing so when they want to have the possibility to go. for the private sector where i would decide myself. what i went to i thought that that's all. something for me. and then i just all the business around the open situation. started so. to the lobbyists.

you know we. everybody believe the bad. so will make us institutions and institutions in the european union is about the commission the council of ministers and the european parliament but there is also. i know the world behind that which is how to influence the institutions to make a text to give a good idea to. propose amendments to trying to fine tune the text depending on the interest of the people when you're to push more.

blubbing is it was originally envisioned is a good thing no lawmaker can be an expert in all the fields that he or she has to deal with and so they rely on other people giving them advice. but lobbying went from their field of expertise into what is more properly called hired guns so you now have people who may not be an expert in anything they're dealing with but they're paid for by clients who want them to pursue specific objectives what makes them so affective is many of these hired guns will be what what we call revolving door abusers and these will be people. who were

in governments then come out of governments and hired by the very same people that had business pending before them when they were in government and the mid ninety's we had come across so many examples of your policies that were basically captured by industry and industry lobbying which felt it was really a fundamental problem here the influence of industries is excessive and we decided to set up a group to document examples and to start developing a strategy to roll back this excess of influence and that's how it started this. one day in the summer of one thousand nine hundred eighty. s. . and it came from the south of france. from the local

environmental group. this group was fighting against a motorway that was planned to go through a valley in the area they lived in the valley of us a clutch of cleaver very important to the area a very beautiful area and. the group asked if we knew more about the role of the european union and and specifically the european commission in this motorway projects. so we started looking into this we discovered that this motorway project was part of something called the trans european networks. the transfer p and that which was the biggest infrastructure projects in history with the estimated budget of four hundred billion euro. friends from sweden came up with another detail there was an influential lobby group behind this and they asked us you know about a year to the european round table of industrialists. i did not. i started

digging for more information about the iraqi. i went to our archive and i didn't find anything. i started diving into the alien world of the business press newspapers like the financial times the economist german business newspapers and we found a reference to a new report that had been published shortly before called reshaping europe. but sollers a rather interesting and we ordered this reports at the european the round table at quarters. i wrote in the request mentioning as the purpose of research. i did not believe i would get anything but a few days later a big brown envelope arrived in my letter box. please booklets are inside missing links missing networks and resave in europe. may

take the first two publications going through them something strange about them somehow they look so familiar. euro tunnel. scam link. here in these corridor. i go to the archive. at. the t.n. projects by the commission. i go through the papers compare them back and forth. striking similarity. projects are almost identical. commission seems to have copy pasted the unity proposals.

now i'm really curious reshaping europe. a meeting in dublin has mentioned forty five c.e.o.'s all from multinational companies representing billions of euros of turnover. companies like fiat's and la farge british petroleum her cst nestlé siemens shell unit lever and many others all of them supporting what is in this book. the all source free see yours. show or more no. harm or visit decker. living in the netherlands a new vista decker he was the head of philips one of the largest companies in the country. good and i was the head of volvo a car producing company. and showman nor was the head of lee honest as all very

large french automotive national. so the authors of this report were three c.e.o.'s from some of the biggest companies in europe. it was a political manifesto written by this industry leaders. what was stunning was that these descry c.e.o.'s boards would sit down and actually write. a report that was a detail set of recommendations for how to change to do good the face of europe.

an experience. i finished my job in the commission in april nineteenth one thousand . and ninety decided that maybe suppressed place is actually where the money is so i went to europe in banking federation. and i started to look to be locust. and there. were. going to be i have worked a. long time nine years in the open banking for duration and i started also to discover. an additional word to europe which was. international trade. in the least. anything.

thank you. but you know our industries. yeah i mean if you are lobbyist you obviously need to have a lot of contacts you probably find the figure of one hundred person which i will keep in my job. to make. sure that you gave me a very clear commitment. i mean my job i describe it as a network and as a fascinating time as an ambassador and from want to be an asset i have to know who you have. i can say that i will present around eighty percent of all services exporters and investors. as a turnover. let's say fifty percent of the g.d.p. of european union. i don't really believe in to check. it's part of it but most of the time you will provoke

a chance and then he's going to be up to you to see the opportunity when the chance is there. in december one thousand nine hundred three the n.-g. o. network i worked for had its annual meeting and the meeting was to take place in brussels. we were very impressed by what we had found out about a year to heat and its influence that time there were no academic studies to show anything about the power of these large multinational companies on new policies. we decided that this was the perfect opportunity to call for attention on the role of the year to. well we brainstorm about what to do and we decided to do something a little provoking. the night before we were at a press release and in the early morning we went to the ear to the office. and one of us rang the doorbell and told the secretary that's here's

a student looking for some documents and when the door opened we all ran up the stairs quickly and we all managed to get into the office that way. i remember very well i was at some meeting. in the morning so i think it was mid morning i came into the office and found banners hanging around the office and lots of strange faces around so i said what's what's happening will somebody please tell me what's going on and they said oh we've come to occupy your building and. possibly they wanted a confrontation possibly they wanted me to ring up the police and have the police come in through the mail but it didn't seem to be a good idea at all indeed finally some reason but we had an office lunch so i took everybody my people out to lunch and left and then.

we were surprised by the reaction that we got from the sea they went off into a room and talked about it apparently and decided to leave. and what we did was using the your t. is priceless we faxed the press release to the international media. we expected that's the occupation of this very shadowy able to very powerful business lobby group which really interested media. so things went a little bit differently. i think we talked to one newspaper and there was a radio program that was interested before the rest that was silent. that we didn't know when the t.v. stuff would come back for that's all the tables that were position papers and reports lying around but it was also all very neatly organized archive everything sort it's. so we decided to move to it be fast and copy as

much as possible. in those documents where letters from the year two and two months from the year two to european governments and to the european commission and i would responses. and it really showed the degree of access that they had an incredible influence and it was it was clear from those documents. to when we tracked back the history of that your team we found that the start in the early days. from the commission the the member of the commission who was really keen was a man called a belgian called steve. he had diplomatic business background and he could see the need he said if i want to talk to european industry who do i talk

to. but i've heard. the commissioner for industry. has an insufficient ground then with the commission. the economy grow. richer existed and with. the fetish is of interest i would say to know for sure. but not at the level of the. sponsor for individual business and i felt that through a missing. and so we decided to set up or group of industrious which would be guaranteed. so as to have the capacity to listen through the c.e.o. . the were the and yelling who run the fia finished in a booth with a deck or who rammed phillips and another that. was paid guillen how to run

a volvo in sweden people from siemens and the big german chemical companies the french spaniards then the british. small number of people who ran. the biggest companies in europe and were ready to talk about big policy issues with those people who would be in charge of the european government. and then when they need. a visionary president of the commission by the all they find shut down low is thinking in entirely the same terms so why don't they get together and pool their ideas that's a breakthrough read. i'm a facilitator that's probably a good a good way to put me as

a description not being is it only is. understood as a bit of a dirty word but is just networking just contact between human beings. and remake of the. the world is very small actually as a people we have to reach out actually at the end of the day it's becoming smaller and smaller if you know the right person actually you know it's going to be about a hundred person keep us and the rest are moving around in brussels talking about. the crazed companies are global days and therefore the american companies the chinese companies the indian companies you taiwanese companies are actually my my allies we're working together for the same purpose

which is to open up the market. one thousand nine hundred three was the year when the european union was born. to us and have been sold as a political project. but these letters that we had found in december point is in a totally different direction. again a master plan behind it's. like with a t. and projects. written by the year to. prefer the year t. and the european commission were meeting on a regular basis. in the. tone was amazingly jovial and informal. all that went on in complete secrecy.

and the european commission work hand in hand. and nine hundred eighty four missing links is published and immediately after the european commission set up a working group with a year to be on exactly this topic i'm generally not. eight hundred eighty five this is decker c.e.o. philips presents his europe one thousand nine hundred and his action plan for the single market. ten days later chuckle or new president of the european commission gives a speech about the single market in the european parliament which sounds like the echo of decker speech done to me in india. in june one thousand nine hundred five from your cofield vice president of the commission publishes the famous single market white paper a copy paste of the ticker planned. the
