Engaging stakeholders in policy-making processes is a central aspect of open government, yet the fact of who influences policies and how can often remain unknown to the public. Instead, the public receives news of lobbying through typically scandalous cases of undue influence, which in turn can cause distrust towards policy-makers and lobbyists alike. According to Global Data Barometer, lobbying is the lowest performing indicator in the political integrity field, with only 19 of the surveyed 109 countries disclosing data on lobby meetings.

While many OGP members have worked or are working with increasing lobby transparency, progress can be slow and be hindered by political turmoil. This session serves as an opportunity to share experiences of regulating lobbying in Europe, of building coalitions and of creating political will in the name of increasing public trust and citizen engagement.

Il coinvolgimento dei portatori di interesse nei processi decisionali delle politiche è un aspetto centrale del governo aperto, ma il chi e il come s’influenzano le politiche spesso resta sconosciuto al pubblico. Al contrario, il pubblico riceve notizie di attività di lobbying attraverso scandali e tipicamente casi di influenza illecita, che a loro volta possono causare sfiducia nei confronti dei responsabili politici e dei lobbisti allo stesso modo. Secondo il Global Data Barometer, il lobbying è l'indicatore con le prestazioni più basse nel campo dell'integrità politica, con solo 19 sui 109 paesi intervistati che divulgano dati sulle riunioni di lobby.

Mentre molti membri di OGP hanno lavorato o stanno lavorando con una crescente trasparenza sulle attività di lobbying, il progresso può essere lento ed essere ostacolato da disordini politici. Questa sessione è un'opportunità per condividere esperienze di regolamentazione del lobbismo in Europa, per la costruzione di alleanze e creazione di volontà politica in nome dell'aumento della fiducia pubblica e del coinvolgimento dei cittadini.
