Friedrich-betænkningen anerkender, at der er tusindvis af lobbyister, som søger at påvirke institutionernes beslutninger, selv om det, når alt tages i betragtning, bør indrømmes, at de i mange tilfælde forsyner medlemmer af Europa-Parlamentet med detaljeret information om forskellige aspekter af de diskuterede initiativer.
The Friedrich report recognises that there are thousands of lobbyists seeking to influence the institutions' decisions, even though it should be acknowledged, all things considered, that in many instances they do provide MEPs with detailed information on various aspects of the measures under discussion.
