29 January 2025Public Affairs in the European Union: A Space in Transformation
The European Union, home to 447 million consumers, accounts for 18% of the global GDP (€16.6 trillion in 2023). Today, up to 50% of national laws in EU member states stem from European law. This growing influence is matched by the EU's leadership in regulating key areas, like:
Data protection (GDPR, a global first),
Energy transition (European Green Deal),
Digital markets regulation (Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act).
The EU is therefore a major political force, both in influence and regulatory innovation.
Stakeholder Inclusion and Transparency
To remain innovative, dynamic, and closely aligned with real-world challenges, the EU has consistently relied on stakeholders inputs to better shape its laws.
Through its Better Regulation Agenda (2015), the EU seeks to deepen stakeholder engagement in policymaking within a framework of transparency and accountability. Public consultations are a key example: stakeholders can contribute to the law-making process, but they must disclose their identity and interests, particularly through the Transparency Register.
The EU stands out as a global leader in transparency, democratization, and digital governance, ensuring that policymaking is open, fair, and trusted. Rooted in institutional realism, this approach fosters stakeholder participation while preventing behind-closed-doors lobbying.
Turning Data into Actionnable Knowledge
In today’s world, access to data isn’t enough—too much information can overwhelm rather than inform. Information must be analyzed, contextualized, and made actionable.
At DemoSquare, we combine AI-powered analytics with deep expertise in European law-making to turn public data into insights, predictions, and strategic tools allowing all stakeholders to actively participate in the process. We don’t just inform – we empower, guide, and connect.
