As for the groups themselves, the interest population in the register is dominated... (More)

Regarding the design and purpose of the register, I find that improvements in the design are needed, if the register is to fulfill its purpose. As for the groups themselves, the interest population in the register is dominated by different types of business interests and their respective organizations. There are also strong indications that the level of development and size of a country's economy is positively correlated to that country's level of representation. (Less)
