Political compliance and reporting matters just as much in Europe as in the U.S. and Canada. Government relations professionals need to know the unique restrictions and obligations in each jurisdiction where advocacy efforts occur. Violating lobbying and campaign finance laws can result in removal from the registry, costly fines, unwanted media exposure, and even imprisonment. All these problems can be easily avoided by just knowing what is required and acting upon it correctly and within the timeframe given. State and Federal Communications makes it easy to decipher and understand compliance rules and regulations, and to accurately report activities to government entities as needed.

Here are some of the valuable contents in ‘I COMPLY European Political Compliance Laws.’

Coverage includes summaries and citations of applicable laws and regulations, full descriptions of lobbyist registration and reporting requirements, jurisdictions requiring lobbyist registration for procurement activities, and relevant advisory opinions, guides, and supplementary information. Further, there are complete definitions of special terms, Pay-to-Play laws, summaries of gift laws and political contribution limits and specific prohibitions. Users will find information regarding who can make contributions and to whom contributions may be made, along with contact information for government offices, and required forms for lobbying, political activities, and procurement activities.
