Investigating US influence on the EU far right:
The Alliance attacking freedom
Our latest research investigates how Trump’s allies are undermining gender rights and bolstering the far right in Europe, focusing on the role of the Alliance Defending Freedom. This Christian right-wing organization has significantly increased its spending in Europe to roll back gender, abortion, and LGBTQIA+ rights. Support CEO to continue exposing and combating these extremist influences.

decision-making in the EU?

Key decisions that affect your daily life are being made on the basis of the interests of big corporations, over the needs of ordinary people. The consequences include higher energy costs, worsening climate change, reduced access to medicines, and dangerous pesticides and chemicals in your environment.
This guide reveals seven important ways in which the corporate lobby influences decision-making in the EU. It also has concrete demands to protect democratic decision-making.
I have a request...
“
We are an independent organization operating in Europe since 1997. CEO's work covers a variety of issues including agriculture, food safety, energy & climate, big tech, EU lobbying & transparency, trade, investment, and finance. You may be familiar with some of our campaigns or reports highlighting the impact of corporate lobbying on EU decision-making. To preserve the independence of our research, we do not take any EU funding, nor from corporations, of course.
That is why the work of the Corporate Europe Observatory is made possible increasingly by people who want to actively help achieve our objectives. Your ongoing support is crucial for us to continue working independently for democracy, environmental protection, and social justice, regardless of the election outcomes.
