Info Members: The figures mentioned above are based on an educated guess: usually, contact with the EC, EP, and other European legislations occur more in an ad-hoc way, by many people, from administration, legislation and (especially) researchers, which regrettably prevents us from making more exact calculations. There is not a single person appointed solely for advocacy purposes at the university.
