Government to debate Lobbying Act next week

The government is due to debate the so-called Lobbying Act, a bill that aims to regulate and legitimize lobbying and increase its transparency, next week. The bill envisages a central register of both lobbyists and those being lobbied. Lobbyists will also be obliged to report their activities to the Ministry of Justice. The law should come into force in the second half of 2025. The government will also discuss amendments to other laws related to the introduction of the lobbying law.
