Report: Who Gets to Talk to Brussels?

The WHO wants to limit contact between politicians and companies in the alcohol and food sectors, just as has already been done with the tobacco industry. Does this protect decision-making from undue influence, or does it risk excluding large parts of the business community from the democratic process?

In EPHI’s latest report, *Who Gets to Speak to Brussels*, the author, Seth Engellau, examines how limited access to decision-makers affects the quality of the decisions made in Brussels.

The report is available on both English language and Swedish
