Lobbování ve Velké Británii

This paper is concerned with the current legislation of lobbying in the UK and with the way the oil industry lobbies there. The paper is divided into three parts. The first, theoretical part explains the characteristics of the British political and legal system and, along with it, also defines the concept of lobbying. In the second, practical part, all regulatory measures against the abuse of lobbying are systematically described, both on the part of lobbyists who have their own codes of conducts issued by the CIPR, APPC, PRCA and on the part of the lobbied where there are codes of conduct of the members of parliament, Lords and other departments of the public administration. Finally, in the third part, on the case study, the lobbying of the oil companies BP and Royal Dutch Shell in the UK is examined to see if the current regulation led to a greater transparency of it.
