Jose López-Rúa Taboada’s documented lobbying activities with Flint Europe focus on EU policy areas where digital innovation, sustainability, and competition law converge. His work involves detailed policy analysis and active engagement with EU institutions, including the European Commission and the European Parliament, where lobbyists must register to gain entry and influence.
Pepe is accredited with the European Parliament, enabling direct access to key lawmakers and committees relevant to digital and environmental regulations. Flint’s registration confirms his status as a recognized lobbyist, with active involvement from at least July 2024 through July 2025. Within Flint, he contributes to crafting client strategies that interface with EU legislative processes, facilitating meetings, discussions, and partnerships across multiple member states.
Although specific meeting logs are unavailable, his previous experience coordinating public policy across Spain, Italy, Belgium, and France indicates substantial engagement with national and EU public officials. For instance, at Voi Technology, Pepe led public policy efforts addressing e-scooter regulation and public-private partnerships, which likely translated into similar collaborative approaches at Flint.
Flint Europe’s advisory scope includes assisting clients in interpreting and shaping EU sustainability directives and digital regulation, suggesting Pepe participates in meetings with stakeholders such as European Commissioners’ aides, MEPs on transport and digital policy committees, and officials from DG Competition and DG Environment. These interactions influence regulatory outcomes by presenting client positions, contributing to impact assessments, and advocating practical implementation measures beneficial to their interests.
Pepe’s multilingual capabilities and prior contacts within Spanish and EU institutions further reinforce his role in building relationships that sway policymaking in favor of his clients, potentially including UK-based corporations seeking stability in EU relations and standards adherence post-Brexit.
