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.

    Through a glass darkly 1 Briefing note June 2014 The new European Parliament: what to expect From 22 to 25 May 2014, Europeans went to the polls. Many of them went to express their dissatisfaction. Although the majority of the incoming 751 MEPs remain broadly supportive of the EU, both they and those who need to engage with the European Parliament will have to adapt to the increased power of a disparate anti-EU and anti- establishment minority over the next five years. This briefing provides an overview of the election results* at the EU level and what happens next, further analysis on results in France, Germany, Greece and the UK, a look at the key outgoing and incoming MEPs, and an examination of the selection procedures for the new leaders of the European Commission, European Parliament and European Council. The election results The election saw a marked rise, of about 10%, in the number of MEPs elected from anti-EU and anti-establishment parties from both ends of the political spectrum. They won around 230, or 31%, of the 751 seats, compared to 164, or 21%, of the 766 seats in 2009. What remains to be seen is whether the newly -elected MEPs will join existing, or form new, political groups in the Parliament (see below for more information on the importance of political groups and how they are formed). Despite their decreased numbers, the pro-Europeans remain the dominant force in the European Parliament. Their four groups – the centre-right, the centre-left, the liberals and the greens – won 521, or 69%, of the 751 available seats.
