data-type="newsletter" data-id="5638602" >View in your browser</a></p> <p><strong>BONJOUR.</strong> Let me start with a fun anecdote about my introduction to the EU lobbying scene. It was the summer party of Rud Pedersen, a major consultancy whose lush terrace attracts bubble clientele who can be otherwise hard to meet. While my colleague Eddy Wax and I were taking a break from all the schmoozing, a guest from the European Commission exited the crowd and approached us. He wanted to share his criticism of POLITICO’s coverage on a story involving a friend of his: Henrik Hololei.</p> <p><strong>Remember.</strong> At the peak of the Qatargate scandal, POLITICO <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-transport-chief-henrik-hololei-flew-free-qatar-airways-negotiate-aviation-deal-doha-qatargate-corruption/" data-type="pro-free" data-id="2662614" >revealed</a> that Hololei, a high-level public servant, received free plane tickets from Qatar Airways which he did not declare, at a time of crucial negotiations between the Commission and the company. The Commission official from this summer party thought it outrageous of us to publicly question the choices of such a senior, competent colleague of his, just based on how it looked from the outside.</p> <p><strong>The problem is that conflict of interest is a particular concept.</strong> It’s not only about whether it’s effective, in the sense that getting tickets worth thousands of euros makes you change your mind. It’s also about how it appears to the public eye, the impression that it <em>could</em> affect your decision. This Commission official did not seem to understand that nuance and didn’t seem to see a problem with those behaviors. </p> <p>But on Wednesday, our colleague from Libération <a href="https://www.liberation.fr/international/europe/a-la-commission-europeenne-le-haut-fonctionnaire-henrik-hololei-gate-par-le-qatar-mais-pas-inquiete-par-la-justice-20241029_YDIDZ4WETZH4NOR3XPOXHEXT3U/?redirected=1&redirected=1" target="_blank">revealed</a> that it was not only Qatar Airways — but many other companies. Not only tickets — but also various gifts. Not only exchanges of ideas — but also of documents. Looks can be deceiving, of course. But it’s always worth looking anyway.</p> <p>Today we’re talking about:</p> <p>— How consultancies are preparing for next week’s commissioner hearings</p> <p>— Welcome packages for EU lawmakers (and: how to avoid implying that an MEP has a bad breath)</p> <p>— Some tips from Susan Danger on how shush those who interrupt you, and other vital life skills</p> <h3><span style="color: #cd171e">HOW LOBBYISTS WATCH COMMISSIONERS HEARINGS</span></h3> <p><strong>THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT.</strong> For live analysis and readouts of the good, the bad and the ugly, POLITICO’s 26 individual liveblogs of each hearing are — obviously — the place to be. It’s Brussels’ version of the Met Gala after all (granted, less creativity has been put into the outfits, but criticism of appearances runs just as high). Of course, <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/european-parliament-sets-out-time-limits-evaluation-process-ahead-of-commissioner-hearings/" data-type="pro-free" data-id="5599056" >our coverage</a> has you already fully prepped and popcorn-ready. But we’ve also asked lobbyists how they do it.</p> <p><strong>1. BULLSHIT BINGO AND OTHER BETS.</strong> For the last round of hearings, some consultancies created their own “bullshit bingo” and plan to do it again (oddly enough, they didn’t want to be named here). Acumen, for their part, is betting … actual money. “Everyone places a €5 bet on the amount of times ‘competitiveness’ will be mentioned and whoever is closest gets the pot. A live dashboard will inform everyone of the current count,” said Judith Schilling, communication spokesperson for the consultancy.</p> <p><strong>2. HELP YOURSELF WITH AI. </strong>More seriously, Acumen is also using Prismos, an AI tool “to support us getting the key-takeaways out as soon as ‘humanly’ possible,” Schilling said. “We are open to say we are using AI, not because we are lazy or short of staff, but as a tool enabling us to derive relevant insights much quicker for our clients.”</p> <p><strong>3. VITAMIN SHOT AND FOOD.</strong> Given that there’s an informal non-aggression pact between political forces, three senior lobbyists told me they expect it’s gonna be so boring that one of them is planning to take extra vitamins to boost their vitality for the week. Another watch party will provide popcorn as fuel to power through it. </p> <p><strong>4. THE OLD FASHIONED WAY:</strong> In person. “There’s nothing like it when it comes to understanding the dynamics and how things will fall,” said Nicola Schochi, partner and head of the Brussels office of Fourtold. FTI Consulting too “is going to be there, probably finding snacks in the European Parliament between the hearings,” said Anne-Sophie Deman and Dafni Kachrila Skouteli on their <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/fti-consulting-eu_theelectoralpulse-eucommissionerhearings-activity-7257390627670126593-_bWs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop" target="_blank">podcast</a>. </p> <h3><span style="color: #cd171e">AWKWARD WELCOME PACKAGES FOR MEPS</span></h3> <p><strong>DO I HAVE A BAD BREATH?</strong> That’s pretty much the message one MEP got when lobbyists sent breath mints as a welcome gift, my colleague Max Griera found out. Our intrepid Parliament reporter gathered grievances from parliamentary assistants whose bosses have received a host of cheap gifts from lobbyists. No gifts can have a value over €150, to comply with Parliament’s code of conduct.</p> <p><strong>Some highlights:</strong> One received a metal box from lobbyists for the metal packaging industry (look how sturdy!), while another received a wooden box with a screwdriver and various interchangeable heads from a Dutch electrical grid company (office repair essentials, obviously). Another one got black candy from the Polish coal industry. </p> <p><strong>How did it go down?</strong> “I’d love to have been a fly on the wall at some of the pitch meetings: ‘This will really make us stand out!’” said one Parliamentary assistant.</p> <p><strong>Most practical ones</strong>: The company 3M has obviously sent post-it notes to MEPs, accompanied by a letter congratulating them on their new posts — and quickly reminding them how 3M contributes to European jobs and growth, according to a document seen by Max. Last year, pharma companies also sent umbrellas, another assistant said. But those were “gifts that nobody needed nor asked for,” they added.</p> <p><strong>No more tote bags, please.</strong> The classic tote bags, mugs and notebooks flanked with logos are again a hit for this season — but one assistant from the Socialist group has had enough. “We are overall very disappointed by lobbies gifts this year,” they said ironically. “Perhaps it’s because there’s no debate yet this year, because last year we received salmon and honey due to some policy files. Or perhaps that’s because our delegation is not yet seen as a priority!”</p> <table class=" aligncenter" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> <tbody> <tr> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><a href="https://www.politico.eu/healthcare-summit/?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=NLInsert&utm_campaign=Event_Summit_EU_EventCampaign_HealthCareSummit_20241119"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.politico.eu/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/28/NL-Inserts-HCS-GENERAL.png" width="300" /></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h3><span style="color: #cd171e">CE N’EST QU’UN AU REVOIR</span></h3> <p><strong>NOW, IF YOU’LL LET ME FINISH.</strong> One of the few female CEOs from the bubble, the head of the powerful AmCham organization, will soon leave for new adventures after nearly 30 years of experience in EU public affairs. Between a map of Europe and the United States, Susan Danger (to be pronounced “dang-ger”) sat down with us to reflect on the best and the worst of the bubble. While we were at it, she also passed on some honest survival tips for fellow professionals — and for women who are constantly interrupted. </p> <p><strong>How the public affairs bubble has changed:</strong> “When I started in 1995 it was very dry, very technical, just focused on ‘let’s do a position, let’s write a position paper and let’s push it to the Commission,’” she recalls. “Most of the business representatives were business organizations, with businesspeople at the end of their career. But now you have many more public affairs professionals who have made it their career from the start, it’s much more professionalized and much more focused on good communications, strategy.”</p> <p><strong>One EU bubble cliché that needs to go:</strong> The persistent trope that “it’s all about Brussels.” It’s a mistake to neglect the rest, especially in the context of acute geopolitical tensions, she said. “A tick on the box might be made in Brussels but there are so many more people involved than those in Brussels,” Danger said.</p> <p><strong>A low point:</strong> Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. On the morning it happened, she found herself sending worried texts to her colleagues from her kitchen while they were packing stuff in their car, not knowing what would happen. “It was a moment where world events are impacting your own colleagues.”</p> <p><strong>A high point:</strong> “The relationship and network we have set up with all the AmChams around Europe,” she says. Within 24 hours of Russia’s invasion, 48 chambers of AmCham agreed to come up with a statement condemning the invasion. “It’s not easy,” she said.</p> <p><strong>Any advice to your younger self?</strong> “I would definitely say to my younger self: even at school, university and starting here — you’re better than you think you are, you know more than you think you know,” she said. Many people here tend to make it seem as if you didn’t have the right diploma or right competences to understand the EU world. “Try to have more confidence if you’re not naturally confident,” she said, adding that it’s always better late than never.</p> <p><strong>Any advice for future public affairs professionals?</strong> “Focus on your communication. A lot of things can be learned especially on policy, we can all sit down and read a lot, but social skills cannot be replicated by artificial intelligence, and it’s harder to get that naturally,” she said. On the hows, she suggests learning how to really listen, clarify, smile and show respect. Three ways to get results: “Working hard, getting your social skills right and taking a few risks.”</p> <p><strong>A few things to avoid: </strong>Avoiding looking people in the eye and being arrogant. “Everyone in Brussels is clever and bright, don’t think you’re better than they are. That’ll get you a long way.” </p> <p><strong>Shocker: CEOs get sexist remarks, too.</strong> “I could do a whole interview on this!” she said, recalling a few remarks on the way she dressed, or being pulled into photos and wondering if it was for her role or to fill a quota. And of course — questions on how she managed to raise three children along the way.</p> <p><strong>Top tips for women:</strong> Answer back. “Have the confidence to answer back in a polite way and people will be very reluctant to do it again.” Turn gendered expectations to your advantage too, she said: think about what you can wear to be noticed more. But play that one carefully: coming across as “overly feminine” can still appear unprofessional, unfortunately.</p> <p><strong>Things she’ll miss:</strong> “The people, the great ambiance here, the teamwork in an environment that is not competitive,” she said. Interactions with all the countries and key stakeholders get addictive too. “You are really exposed here, [I’ll miss] being part of a bigger picture in the world when it’s not in such a great place and feeling I can move the needle a little bit. Being somehow in world events and changing things in your own little way, being able to speak out more boldly on values and principles — whether it’s about Ukraine, Black Lives Matter, women’s issues, human rights, freedom and peace.”  </p> <p><strong>**Curious to discover more about the role of ride-hailing in the EVs transition?</strong> Join us at POLITICO’s Live event “Electrifying ride-hailing for a faster and cleaner transition” on November 18 to hear what our experts have to say about the journey to meet Europe’s climate neutrality goals. <strong><a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href="https://www.politico.eu/event/registration/5583600/?utm_source=InHouse&utm_medium=NewsletterInserts&utm_term=tba&utm_campaign=Event_PolicyEvent_EU_EventCampaign_RideHailing_20241116">Apply now to attend in person</a>!</strong>**</p> <h3><span style="color: #cd171e">ICYMI</span></h3> <p><strong>LOBBYISTS STRUGGLE WITH LACK OF DIVERSITY:</strong> Lobbying in the EU often feels like an “old boys’ club,” leaving women and people from Central and Eastern Europe underrepresented, a research project funded by the Dutch Research Council and Maastricht University <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13501763.2024.2409822?scroll=top&needAccess=true" target="_blank">found</a>. It’s like a “homogeneous club of people who go to the same golf clubs, who have the same hobbies, who live in the same neighborhoods,” project manager Iskander De Bruycker told my colleague Šejla Ahmatović. </p> <p><strong>In detail:</strong> The analysis examined registered meetings from 2019 to 2023, involving 335 MEPs and 329 lobby groups listed in the <a href="https://transparency-register.europa.eu/index_en" target="_blank">Transparency Register</a>. It compared the 1,252 accredited lobbyists who met with MEPs to those who did not secure any meetings. </p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Even though they make up 23% of the EU population, lobbyists from new member states such as Romania or Bulgaria only represented 8% of those meeting MEPs. “People are attracted to people who are like them, so people with similar characteristics,” De Bruycker added. Cultural and language barriers, along with limited networking opportunities, may also make it harder for them to gain access.</p> <p><strong>URGENT: CRISIS. </strong>The traditional “golden hour” window for responding to a crisis? Forget it, because comms pros now have about 15 minutes to prep for disaster, according to a new report from the CIPR’s Crisis Comms Network spotted by my colleague from <a href="https://www.politico.eu/newsletter/politico-london-influence/how-to-recover-from-a-budget-bodyslam/" data-type="newsletter" data-id="5635008" >London Influence</a>. The group pulled together some top tips, including how AI-powered analytics are already being deployed to warn comms pros about a looming crisis before it even breaks.</p> <p><strong>MICROSOFT AND GOOGLE FIGHT. </strong>In a bombshell blog post posted late on Monday, U.S. tech giant Microsoft came out swinging against its eternal rival Google over lobbying practices in Europe that Microsoft deemed “astroturfing” and a public affairs campaign waged “in disingenuous ways.”</p> <p><strong>The hook </strong>is that a group of companies is launching an “Open Cloud Coalition” in Europe as an effort to lobby for competition in the cloud space, my colleagues from Morning Tech report. Microsoft sees this as a Google-backed campaign to “discredit [it] with competition authorities, and policymakers and mislead the public.” Read the story from Laurens Cerulus and Mathieu Pollet <a href="https://pro.politico.eu/news/188450" target="_blank">here</a>.</p> <p><strong>COURT CORNER</strong></p> <p>— EU’s top prosecutors are looking into the <strong>EPP</strong>, we <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/fraud-busters-eppo-investigate-eu-parliaments-most-powerful-group-epp-manfred-weber/" data-type="article" data-id="5630742" >reported</a> earlier this week. </p> <p>— Incredible story on a massive hack-for-hire scandal that rocks Italian political elites by my colleagues Hannah Roberts and Antoanetta Roussi <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/hacking-scandal-italy-matteo-renzi-sergio-mattarella-equalize-nunzio-samuele-calamucci/" data-type="pro-free" data-id="5618454" >here</a>.</p> <p>— A Belgian court used messages sent on the encrypted platform <strong>Sky ECC </strong>to <a href="https://www.occrp.org/en/news/belgian-court-convicts-119-in-sky-ecc-case" target="_blank">convict</a> 119 people on organized crime charges, in one of the biggest trials the country has known.
