Doelstellingen en taken van de organisatie:
Greenpeace is a global non­profit organisation that uses non­violent direct action to tackle the
biggest threats to our environment. Greenpeace aims to protect and conserve nature and to
promote peace by investigating, exposing and confronting environmental abuse, challenging the
political and economic powers that can effect change, driving economically responsible and
socially just solutions that offer hope for current and future generations, and inspire people to
take responsibility for the planet. Greenpeace speaks for c.3 million (March 2018 figure)
supporters worldwide.
Based in Brussels, Greenpeace European Unit monitors the work of the EU institutions, exposes
deficient EU laws, challenges EU decision­makers to act responsibly in the public interest and
confronts industry lobbies that undermine environmental protection in the pursuit of their
private interests.
Greenpeace is committed to transparency about EU interest representation and considers that
this register fails basic transparency standards and does not provide EU lobbying transparency.

 Onder het register vallende activiteiten
A credible EU lobbying transparency register includes names of individuals and the issues that
they try to influence, provides precise and comparable financial information on lobbying, and
has effective sanctions to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information disclosed.
In an effort to arrive at a more objective way of calculating lobbying expenditures, we follow
guidelines that result from consultations with public interest organisations, professionals
working on lobby transparency as well as experts of US lobby disclosure legislation (the
guidelines developed by the Civil Society Contact Group and ALTER­EU). Our registration
therefore provides a more comprehensive calculation of our expenses for their required
activities that aim to influence the policy formulation and decision­making processes of the
European institutions, and a list of those who, on behalf of Greenpeace, carried out such
activities.
In the very limited space this form allows, we aim to give all the relevant information that we
consider necessary for lobbying transparency.
Our registration is based on the guidelines for transparent registration developed by the Civil
Society Contact Group and ALTER­EU. The guidelines can be found at http://www.alter­
eu.org/sites/default/files/documents/2012_ALTER­
