APRI Objectives
a) Promulgate a model of the profession based on the values of transparency, integrity, and democracy through the representation of legitimate interests before the Parliament and the Government of Spain, and those of its Autonomous Communities.
b) To make the value of lobbying and its role within the democratic process known as a tool for representation before the Parliament and the Government of Spain, and those of its Autonomous Communities.
c) To develop the labour and business market of lobbying as a business and professional activity in Spain.
APRI Code of Conduct
From the start, APRI’s aim was to adopt a Code of Conduct that would set common minimum standards for all members in order to build transparency and fair play, the fundamental pillars of APRI since its foundation. In January 2011, this Code of Conduct was approved, similar to the one signed by lobbyists registered in the Transparency Registry in Brussels, managed jointly by the European Parliament and the European Commission. Each article of this Code of Conduct contains an essential aspect to ensure the development of lobbying activity by applying good practices at all times.
