Election candidates asked to pledge against corporate dominance

摘要

Over 400 campaign groups from across Europe joined forces this week to call on candidates in the forthcoming European Parliament elections to sign up to a series of pledges designed to halt corporate dominance in Brussels.rnVoters in all 27 Member States can log onto www.electioncampaign.eu and ask candidates where they stand on issues such as lobbying transparency, business accountability and trade regulation. The 'Pin down your candidate' campaign's multilingual website will monitor where candidates stand on the issues linked to corporate dominance.rnThe candidates themselves will be asked to sign up to pledges, including backing a mandatory system of registration and reporting for all lobbyists influencing EU policy-making.
