lpv:translated text	"Regulation of lobbying should certainly be welcomed. At last there is a chance of transparent cooperation between Parliament and interested groups, namely lobbyists. It is proposed to create a compulsory register of all lobbyists interested in presenting and defending their interests at the European institutions. This proposal deserves our support. Entry on the register would allow interested lobbyists to access the European Parliament’s premises, attend committee meetings and also to make contact with Members in their offices, but without disrupting their work. The effectiveness of civilised and therefore transparent lobbying largely depends, however, on the lobbyists’ behaviour. It will therefore be necessary to draw up a code of ethical practice for lobbyists at the same time. Parliament should also monitor implementation of these provisions, especially as regards checking the veracity of the information on the register. Lobbyists providing inadequate or untrue information should be sanctioned. The sanctions imposed should be in proportion to the offence and serve as a deterrent, ranging from suspension of registration to permanent exclusion from the register inclusive. It should be remembered that this new proposal was drawn up at the European Parliament’s own initiative. The proposal will also prove very helpful to other European institutions and to the national parliaments of Member States of the European Union that have not yet adopted measures in this regard."@en1
