EP BARS RUSSIA-BACKED LOBBYISTS

EU Parliament strips lobbyists representing Russia's interests of their accreditation. The European Parliament is banning entry to lobbyists representing Russian interests. Russian company representatives may not enter Parliament buildings “effective immediately,”. The ban “applies to all entities that are established in the Russian Federation and that are listed in the EU transparency register”  as well as entities subject to EU sanctions. .

The Parliament has also called on the European Commission and Council to block Russia-linked lobbyists.
