They long to know what the decision-makers are thinking, so they can plan ahead. They yearn to be in the loop, to have the drop on things. It is the genius of the lobbyists and the consultants to understand this need, and to satisfy it in the most imaginative way. Business forums are vehicles for forging links and maintain a dialogue with business, industrial and trade organisations. They allow the discussions of general and pre-legislative issues in a different context from lobbying contacts about specific matters. They provide an opportunity to get Members of the European Parliament and other decision-makers from the European institutions together with various business sectors.

  • Agenda Control and Policy Entrepreneurship in Legislative Decision-Making
    Understanding EU institutions in context: Agenda control and policy entrepreneurship in legislative decision-making ***Work in progress – please do not circulate or cite without author’s permission*** Stefan Thierse University of Duisburg-Essen Abstract This paper studies the implications of the broader institutional context of the European Union (EU) polity for the legislative process. To this end, the paper adopts Pollack’s (1997) distinction between formal and informal agenda-setting to link two literatures largely isolated from each other. The concept of agenda control is employed to analyze both legislative-executive relations and the distribution of agenda-setting prerogatives within the European Parliament (EP). The multiple streams approach (MSA) serves to explain the conditions and timing of policy change. Special attention is devoted to the concepts of institutional ambiguity and policy entrepreneurship. These concepts are applied to the EP arena to determine opportunities and constraints for rapporteurs, agents which are widely recognized as agenda-setters and policy entrepreneurs. A case study on the EU chemicals regulation (REACH) serves to illustrate the relevance of institutional ambiguity and policy entrepreneurship to explain the dynamics of agenda-setting and legislative decision-making.
