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.
What each said, in their own words
Their opening passages on the files they share, verbatim and in filing order. We do not summarize, compare, or characterize positions — read them at source.

The European Transport Workers' Federation (ETF) considers that any change to the current EU legal framework on driving and rest time rules in bus and coach will come against the policy objectives of the Regulation. It will fail to improve working conditions in the sector, and will negatively impact the safety of drivers, passengers, and all other road users.
