"There's an extreme imbalance between business lobbies and ALL other interests." EU attempts to hear other voices are too few and often flawed - take for example the common pro-business skew of the Commission's public consultations, prompts Frank Ey from @Arbeiterkammer.

"Assymetrical influence is the most pressing issue of our times" - nothing more to add to this opening statement of the @OECD's Mariana Prats at tonight's big @ALTEREU event on the harm caused by the undue influence of #CorporatePower on policy-making.

World’s biggest pharmaceutical companies are depriving govts out of $billions that could be invested in healthcare. At the same time, they're overpricing essential medicines, putting them out of reach of poor people.

Environment minister Hulot yesterday resigned over Macron's climate policies and corporate lobbying influence: "we’re going to have to put this problem (with lobbies) on the table, because it’s a democratic problem: Who has the power, who is governing?” https://t.co/WLhpfS3oo0

If you think that the @BBCNews should have a rule that Think Tanks can only appear on the BBC after disclosure of their main funders, then please retweet.

When preparing the #EUJapan trade deal #JEFTA, EU negotiators had 200+ closed-door meetings with lobbyists - 89% were with big business #lobbyists while only 4% were with public interest groups. No wonder the outcome is a deeply flawed trade deal! https://t.co/7n9dGlyxiT #EUTrade

@Upstreaming @HealthandTrade Thank you @johanna_ralston for such a clear and strong message. Health is a human right. Trade is one means of many to achieve progress - for all all, not the few. The hierarchy should be clear, especially in the era of sustainable development #EnoughNCDs #BeatNCDS #hlm3 #NCDs
