An Insider in Brussels: Lobbyists Reshape the European Union
Elke Cronenberg
September 18th, 2006
In order to influence the new laws that encompass the 25 countries of the
European Union, now the world's largest single economy, some 15,000
lobbyists
have flocked to Brussels, its political heart. The public relations firm
Burson-Mastellar is one of the most active among them.
