    It’s not only a big chunck, what to me is even more worrying is that the US likely considers this a good way (read: profitable) to spend their money.

    The prospect of U.S. giants like Apple and Amazon having more sway over Brussels’ policies is particularly troubling at a time when the Trump administration is pushing hard to weaken EU digital and privacy rules in favour of American tech interests.

      Yes, 115 million is a bargain. I imagine most people know these think-tanks and their agendas. I hope but am unsure how and if think-tanks fit in the new stricter European lobby policy they’re making.

      Add. I found this EP update “Transparency of third-country lobbying in EU decision-making”
