European Corporate Governance Institute

According to its website 'The European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI) was founded in 2002. It has been established to improve corporate governance through fostering independent scientific research and related activities.'http://www.ecgi.org/organisation/about_ecgi.htm. The website is a little opaque on who was responsible for creating it. However close attention reveals that it was 'set up by the European Commission to examine best practices in Member States with a view to enhancing the convergence of national corporate governance codes and providing advice to the Commission.'http://www.ecgi.org/members_directory/member.php?member_id=5 One of its projects is the Transatlantic Corporate Governance Dialogue Background to the Transatlantic Corporate Governance Dialogue, accessed 7 March 2009
The website is developed by Jeremy Miller who also registered the website for the European Public Affairs Consultants Association

European Energy Forum

==Background ==
The European Energy Forum says it provides “a place for debate where all categories of actors in the energy sector can meet, get informed and exchange views on the various energy issues”.Mission, European Energy Forum Website], undated, accessed 4 February 2013
But most of its members are MEPs and businesses. In addition to dinners, conferences and seminars, it regularly organises trips for interested MEPs to visit nuclear power plants. These are paid for by the nuclear companies. Corporate Europe Observatory, Nuclear Power Grab? Corporate Lobbyists and MEPs Working in Tandem to Spin Nuclear Energy as Sustainable, December 2006
==The "submarine" of the energy industry==
A Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO) report says that “Nuclear energy has been a major focus for the EEF and nuclear industry firms have organised and sponsored numerous EEF events.” It adds: “A confidential source who regularly attends their meetings confirmed that discussions which start at the EEF usually end up in Parliament”. The source calls EEF “the submarine of the energy industry.”Corporate Europe Observatory, “Lobbying under the radar”, May 2011
==Membership==
The EFF offers two kinds of membership. Active members “are Members of the European Parliament who wish to be directly involved in the EEF’s activities”. Active members, European Energy Forum Website], undated, accessed 4 February 2013 Associate members “are companies, research organizations, associations and regulators interested in energy-related problems and that want to be directly involved in the EEF's activities”. Associate members, European Energy Forum Website], undated, accessed 4 February 2013 Of the latter, the CEO report says “There are no consumer groups represented…instead the list is full of major energy industry players.

European Forum for Responsible Drinking

The European Forum for Responsible Drinking (EFRD), the successor organisation to The Amsterdam Group (TAG) was formed by Europe's influential spirit producers. The organisation provides support to targeted initiatives which they believe promote sensible drinking. EFRD and its member companies believe in an approach to alcohol harm reduction that individualises the problem - drinkers rather than alcohol are the problem. This view is widespread and publicised by most key players in the alcohol industry. They believe that the 'cultural complexity' of alcohol related issues mean that no single approach is adequate across Europe and therefore advocate a flexible approach that is comprised of the least effective measures to combat alcohol related harm. 
Their view is that "The vast majority of European adults consume alcohol responsibly and it is now widely recognised that patterns of drinking, and not simply volume of alcohol consumption, provide the best predictors of alcohol-related harm". EFRD Web Site EFRD About us, our beliefs accessed 28th June 2007 This is only 'widely recognised' by the alcohol industry, most disinterested campaigners and experts say just the opposite, and advocate a population level approach with a focus on reducing availability and increasing harm.

European Forum of the Knesset

The European Forum of the Knesset (EFK) is an astroturf lobbying coalition launched by the European Friends of Israel in 2009Carrie Sheffield, "MKs launch new alliance with European parliaments", Jerusalem Post, 4 August 2009, accessed on 17 October 2010 with Israel lobbyist and Italian legislator Fiamma Nirenstein playing a central role.Cnaan Liphshiz, "'Israel should drop apologetic tactics, admit it is at war'", Haaretz, 8 August 2009
==History==
The EFK was reportedly created by Fiamma Nirenstein to "strengthen ties between Israel and European parliaments."Cnaan Liphshiz, "'Israel should drop apologetic tactics, admit it is at war'", Haaretz, 8 August 2009 The EFK is reportedly "spearheaded" by the Israeli Kadima MK's Yohanan Plesner "with the blessing of Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin (Likud)."Carrie Sheffield, "MKs launch new alliance with European parliaments", Jerusalem Post, 4 August 2009, accessed on 17 October 2010 Other members include Tzipi Livni, Shaul Mofaz and Daniel Ben-Simon.Cnaan Liphshiz, "'Israel should drop apologetic tactics, admit it is at war'", Haaretz, 8 August 2009 In a 2009 interview with a journalist from Haaretz, Nirenstein explained that the main aims of the EFK include combating what Nirenstein argues as European hostility towards Israel and to "attack ferociously those who call to demonize Israel."Cnaan Liphshiz, "'Israel should drop apologetic tactics, admit it is at war'", Haaretz, 8 August 2009 A reported main focus of this lobby will be to more effectively target Iran: 
:With funding from Pro-Zionist European Jews and non-Jews, the new Israeli forum Nirenstein helped create will seek to shift more attention away from the Palestinian issue to the threat posed by Iran.As deputy chairperson of the Italian parliament's foreign affairs commission, Nirenstein has had limited success in prompting Berlusconi's government to intervene to block involvement of Italian firms in Iranian projects.Cnaan Liphshiz, "'Israel should drop apologetic tactics, admit it is at war'", Haaretz, 8 August 2009 
==Funding==
Since the EFK does not have a website and is not an official non-profit or charity organization, little is available about its funding. However the Israel-based Jerusalem Post reports it is funded by "wealthy patrons within European Jewish circles"Carrie Sheffield, "MKs launch new alliance with European parliaments", Jerusalem Post, 4 August 2009, accessed on 17 October 2010 and similarly Haaretz states that it is funded by "Pro-Zionist European Jews and non-Jews."Cnaan Liphshiz, "'Israel should drop apologetic tactics, admit it is at war'", Haaretz, 8 August 2009

European Forum on Antisemitism

The European Forum on Antisemitism (EFA) was a project of the American Jewish Committee. It was founded in Berlin on March 13th, 2008, ‘at a conference of more than 50 Jewish leaders and experts from 15 European countries, the U.S. and Israel. The European Forum on Antisemitism assists Jewish leaders and experts accessing and exchanging relevant information on strategies to combat antisemitism.’EFA About Us, accessed 5 January 2010
Amongst its activities it undertook translations of the EUMC Working Definition of Antisemitism into 29 languages from the English original. This was part of the attempt to generalise this definition of antisemitism the key aim of which was the blur the distinction between anti-Zionism and antisemitism. 
The EFoA website was last updated in 2017 and ceased to exist between July and November 2019.
