SEAP states that 'The Association is run by the Board composed of not fewer than four nor more than twenty-one SEAP members, who are appointed by and dismissed by the General Assembly. Appointment to the Board shall be for a period of three years...'

SEAP posted its membership list online in 2005, but appears to have removed it for at least some of the period between 2006-2010.  In 2011 the list was again available.  Comparing the two lists shows that membership of around 150 in 205 has increased to around 260 in 2011.

SEAP is a membership organisation of lobbyists which lobbies against the regulation of lobbying.

History

SEAP was established 'in 1997 to represent all those individuals active in European affairs - trade associations; corporate representatives; consultants; lawyers; non-governmental organisations; regional representatives and others - to encourage the highest standards of professionalism for European affairs activity and promote self regulation of the profession. SEAP now has over 260 individual members each of whom are signatories to the SEAP Code of Conduct.'[1]

Relations with European Institutions

Aims

SEAP lists its 'objectives' as follows:

  • To establish an open non-profit making organisation of European affairs professionals dealing with the European institutions;
  • To comply with its code of conduct which is designed to promote ethical standards in the professional conduct of SEAP members;
  • To create a network of members and to advise on the correct procedures governing access to the premises, members and officials of the European institutions;
  • To establish and maintain a dialogue between SEAP members and the European Institutions with a view to finding pragmatic solutions to questions arising between them, including the effects of the internal regulations of the Institutions;
  • To investigate and promote with the institutions measures to improve efficiency in the access and exchange of essential information;
  • To provide a forum for meetings, seminars and other events dedicated to the enhancement of relations between SEAP members and the European institutions.[2]

Aims

People

SEAP states that 'The Association is run by the Board composed of not fewer than four nor more than twenty-one SEAP members, who are appointed by and dismissed by the General Assembly. Appointment to the Board shall be for a period of three years...'

SEAP posted its membership list online in 2005, but appears to have removed it for at least some of the period between 2006-2010. In 2011 the list was again available. Comparing the two lists shows that membership of around 150 in 205 has increased to around 260 in 2011.
