<aside> 💡 Effective advocacy relies on engaging with the right individuals at the right moment. Below, we highlight a selection of the meetings we've conducted over the past years with key stakeholders such as Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), representatives from the European Commission, Member States, national competent authorities (about MICA), and EU agencies like the European Securities Market Agency (ESMA) and the European Banking Authority (EBA). However, it's essential to emphasize that the quality of these interactions, including timing, the individuals engaged, and the precise messaging, holds greater significance than quantity. EUCI has dedicated substantial time and resources to monitor regulatory developments closely, ensuring our approach and follow-up strategies align with the evolving landscape. Well-timed engagements in critical discussions can lead to substantial impact, from influencing modifications in critical legislative articles to better understanding specific features of blockchain technology. These interactions can also help introduce alternative and more balanced regulatory approaches. By encouraging open and meaningful discussions, EUCI helps policymakers better understand the potential and intricacies of decentralized finance and Web3 technologies. This can lead to informed and balanced regulatory policies that foster innovation.
