On 1 September 2025, the Law of Ukraine “On Lobbying” No. 3606-IX came into force, marking an important step in regulating lobbying activities and ensuring ethical interaction between business and public authorities. From this date, any lobbying activity is only possible after prior registration in the Transparency Register of the National Agency on Corruption Prevention. The European Business Association was registered as a lobbying entity on the very first day of the Register’s operation. Currently, 30 EBA employees have been included in the NACP Transparency Register as lobbyists. It is worth recalling that the EBA operates a Committee on Lobbying and Transparent Policies, which aims to bring together lobbying professionals, GR specialists, lawyers, and others to exchange experience in transparent interaction with public authorities, as well as to develop and implement initiatives that enhance transparency and accountability in business. To help companies navigate the requirements of the new lobbying legislation, experts of the Committee have prepared recommendations for businesses on how to prepare for compliance with the Law. These guidelines are available via the following link. The EBA invites companies to join the professional community to exchange expertise and jointly address pressing issues. Anna Derevyanko. Executive Director of the European Business Association. With the adoption of this Law, Ukraine is introducing a transparent lobbying market.
