Charlotte Brett’s lobbying under Flint Europe largely involves representing the interests of UK-based clients and firms navigating EU policy and regulation, particularly following the nuanced post-Brexit environment. Flint Europe, with Brett as part of its consultant team, supports UK business sectors by shaping EU policies related to trade, competition, taxation, energy, infrastructure, digital markets, transport, life sciences, and financial services. Their fundamental intention includes ensuring that UK enterprises remain competitive and compliant within the EU regulatory landscape and that UK political priorities are well represented in Brussels. Brett’s client-focused approach includes strategic positioning to influence EU legislative and regulatory decisions that affect UK businesses. This involves advising on emerging EU legislative files, identifying political trends among Member States, and promoting UK-aligned policy initiatives effectively. Flint’s work with Brett aims to bridge the gap between UK companies’ business objectives and the evolving EU regulatory order, safeguarding their interests through high-level political engagement and policy advocacy. This also includes hidden strategic aims such as facilitating dialogue with EU institutions to smooth trade relations, deregulation where advantageous, and protection of UK market access.

Charlotte Brett, operating as a consultant for Flint Europe, has been involved in multiple lobbying activities targeting EU officials and policymakers. Flint Europe’s lobbying efforts—where Brett is a notable contributor—have included attending key meetings within the European Commission and Parliament focused on dossiers like taxation (including green taxation measures), digital economy and society, and the digital single market. For example, Flint representatives participated in discussions with Commissioner Paolo Gentiloni’s cabinet on tax priorities and green taxation, providing case studies such as Denmark’s emission reduction targets to influence EU policy debates. Brett’s involvement supports Flint’s broader strategy to engage with influential DG TAXUD officials, members of Commissioners’ cabinets for Internal Market and Digital Economy portfolios, and Commissioners’ aides involved in SME and industry policy. These meetings often influence legislative discussions and regulatory frameworks that directly impact UK market conditions and competitive positioning within the EU. The lobbying activities have included exchange of views on customs and tax policy evolution, digital market regulations, and infrastructure development programs relevant to UK business sectors. Flint Europe’s frequent participation in such policy dialogues, facilitated by consultants like Brett, has been instrumental in shaping outcomes that reflect their clients’ interests, strengthening UK-EU cooperation or mitigating regulatory frictions.
