- T4-0217/1997 summary
  
  The European Parliament adopted the report by Mr Glyn Ford (PSE, UK) regarding the introduction of a code of conduct for lobbyists. This code of conduct requires lobbyists to be honest, fair and open in their dealings with the European Parliament. The code of conduct, for persons whose name must appear in a register kept by the Quaestors in pursuance of Article 9 of the rules, is set out in a new Article 3 of Annex IX. This states that lobbyists must: - state the interest or interests they represent; - refrain from any action designed to obtain information dishonestly; - not claim any formal relationship with the European Parliament in any dealings with third parties; - not circulate for a profit to third parties copies of documents obtained from the European Parliament; - comply strictly with the provisions of Article 2 of Annex I of the Rules, which states that 'Members of Parliament shall refrain from accepting any gift or benefit in the performance of their duties'; - satisfy themselves that any assistance provided in the context of the provisions of Annex 1, Article 2, is declared in the register provided for this purpose; - comply, when recruiting former officials of the institutions, with the provisions of the Staff Regulations and with any rules laid down by the European Parliament on the rights and responsibilities of former Members; - obtain, in order to avoid possible conflicts of interest, the prior consent of the Member or Members concerned as regards any contractual relationship or employment of a Member's assistant, and shall ensure that this is declared in the Register. As a penalty, the text states that any breach of the code of conduct may lead to the withdrawal of the pass issued to the persons concerned and, if appropriate, to their firms. �

Mr Ford stressed that sanctions could be applied in the event of any breach of the Code of Conduct. He then accepted the amendment on the keeping of a register, presented by Mr Donnelly (EPP, UK). The latter, on behalf of the EPP Group, was against Amendment No 1 which specified that only those registered assistants working exclusively as assistants would have access to Parliament. He was also against Amendment No 12 which required the submission each year, with a view to securing the extension of lobbyists’ passes, of a report on their activities carried out with the aim of influencing decision-making in Parliament. Mr Wijsenbeek (ELDR, NL) also said that the annual report was a bureaucratic nonsense. On behalf of the GUE-NGL Group, Mr EPHREMIDIS (EL) considered that the report in question did not achieve the desired effect. While accepting that this represented progress compared to the previous version, Mrs AELVOET (V, BE) regretted that there was no longer any parallel approach between the Ford report and the Nordmann report which provided for the declaration of interests from which Members might benefit. date: 1997-05-13T00:00:00 type: Decision by Parliament, 1st reading/single reading body: EP docs: title: T4-0217/1997 summary: date: 1997-05-13T00:00:00 type: End of procedure in Parliament body: EP date: 1997-06-02T00:00:00 type: Final act published in Official Journal
