On 1 December, the European Business Association held its traditional annual event for lobbyists, GR professionals, business leaders, and representatives of public authorities.<\/p>\n

During the EBA Lobbying Gathering<\/strong>, participants from the lobbying market had the opportunity to reflect on the past year, discuss the new regulation of the industry, and strengthen professional ties. On 1 September 2025, Ukraine\u2019s new Law \u201cOn Lobbying\u201d came into force, so attendees exchanged experiences of working under the updated rules and shared their assessments of market changes.<\/p>\n

\u201cLobbying is\u2026\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tLobbying is a communicative tango between government and business, where the partners do not step on each other\u2019s toes.\n\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

What can the EBA do to help you adapt to the new transparency requirements?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tIn fact, the EBA has already done everything. To adapt to the new conditions, any company can join the Lobbying Committee. Within the committee\u2019s work, GR specialists will be able to get answers to any questions related to the Law on Lobbying.\n\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

Which topics will be key for the lobbying community in 2026?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tI believe that the lobbying community\u2019s agenda cannot be separated from the country\u2019s key issues. Today, if we speak not only about martial law and the war, but also about the economy and its recovery, then the main lobbying agenda will be directly linked to the reconstruction of the state.\n\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

How do you see the role of civil society in shaping a culture of integrity-based lobbying?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tCivil society is the driver of quality lobbying. When business creates value for society, civil society organisations are ready to stand up for it in the public space.\n\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

In addition, during the event, the EBA announced the new companies joining the EBA\u2019s \u201cInvestment Leaders\u201d project<\/a> \u2013 a list recognising businesses that continue to make major investments after Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion.<\/p>\n

The EBA is grateful to the event partners \u2013 DTEK, Arzinger, JTI Ukraine, and General Chereshnia \u2013 for supporting the event, and to all speakers and attendees for the warm atmosphere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
