EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Rapporteur considers this draft report to be a necessary and balanced step toward enhancing transparency in the internal market while preserving the legitimate role of interest representation services. The draft report intends to ensure that transparency obligations do not become a deterrent to lawful engagement, nor do they hinder the exchange of information and expertise that is fundamental to democratic decision-making. By establishing a uniform but flexible framework, the proposal aims to contribute to greater legal certainty, strengthen public trust in decision-making processes, and ensure that interest representation services on behalf of third countries are conducted in a transparent and accountable manner.
