Consultation participation and their own register declarations, side by side. Counts, not judgments — participation is not influence.
Counts here are a floor, never a total: they cover the 583 consultation files tracked so far (42,224 submissions, mostly 2025–26), so an organization's real filing history is larger, not smaller.
Register facts self-declared (snapshot 2 Sept 2026); cost bands are floors. Shared files are shared attention, not evidence of coordination.

EEB Feedback on the 8th Environment Action Programme (8EAP) The European Environmental Bureau (EEB), representing more than 160 members across all Member States, welcomes the 8EAP proposal. Given the EGD, the 8EAP is of a different nature than preceding EAPs. It remains a very important tool for European environmental policy. EEB welcomes a range of elements, including: 1.
