Info Members: Additional staff (and volunteers) may also, on occasion, provide technical / specialised support on EU related issues, thereby engaging in activities which may fall under the remit of the Register. This may extend to participation in meetings and conferences organised with / by the EU Institutions. Nonetheless, their primary responsibilities are not related to EU engagement. We estimate that at the current time no other staff or volunteers than those indicated are close to spending 25% of their working time on such activities.
