| Summary: | The purpose of this case study is to explore the application of the code of
conduct for lobbyists as one possible modern instrument of lobbying
regulation. The reason why the code of conduct was selected out of the
other regulatory means is the fact that codes represent the essential
principle of lobby regulation in the European Parliament and the European
Commission. Therefore the primary objective of this work is to evaluate the
attitude of the EU member states towards this particular regulatory
instrument. However, the research illustrates that the application of the
code has not been extended in the member countries yet. The authorities
decided to apply the code only in Lithuania and France. In addition to this,
the possibility of introducing the code has been discussed in Ireland.
