Ursula and the NGOs
Carl Deconinck has an interesting Brussels Signal piece on influence exerted on the EU Commission by NGOs and how that influence has grown under Ursula von der Leyen.
NGOs gained influence under von der Leyen, while companies lost theirs
NGOs had much more contact with the European Commission under Ursula von der Leyen, compared with her predecessor Jean-Claude Juncker.
Between 2019 and 2024, there were 2,747 meetings between the European Commission and NGOs, 200 more than under Juncker’s presidency, said the German news outlet table.media.
The whole piece is worth reading as a reminder of how NGOs have embedded themselves in EU decision-making processes.
WWF received several grants from the European Commission. For example, WWF’s European Policy Office received €625,000 for a programme.
According to WWF’s own annual report, it received €1,296,249 from the European Union & Public Sector Partnership (PSP) in 2023 alone.
Transport & Environment (or T&E), which advocates for a zero-emission transport and energy system, successfully pushed the EU to end sales of new combustion engine cars and vans by 2035.
Many car industry members regard the move as a death blow to the German car industry.
