Interest organizations play a big role in EU politics by providing information to EU institutions and acting as a link to civil society. The EU has set up procedures like funding for NGOs and a Transparency Register to make lobbying more transparent. Different types of interest groups compete for influence in EU policymaking, with NGOs often being more successful than business organizations, especially on important issues. The Lisbon Treaty introduced the European Citizens’ Initiative to involve citizens in EU decision-making outside of the usual Brussels bubble.
