Exact yearly expenditure data for EGCSA’s lobbying efforts in the EU Transparency Register is not detailed in the available public sources. However, such associations typically declare their annual lobbying costs in the EU Transparency Register, usually ranging from €100,000 to €300,000 annually for similar size associations in specialized technical sectors.

EGCSA interacts primarily with the European Commission DG Environment, DG Mobility and Transport, European Parliament committees related to environment and transport, and IMO regulations impacting EU maritime policies. They are involved in consultations and policy dialogues affecting maritime emissions regulation and environmental compliance frameworks.

Since its registration, EGCSA representatives have participated in multiple meetings with European Commission officials, Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), and EU agency stakeholders to discuss exhaust gas cleaning technologies, regulation impact assessments, and implementation standards for emissions controls in the maritime sector. Precise records of these meetings can be accessed through the EU Transparency Register meetings database.
