Meetings with the European Parliament and European Commission are more frequent for the largest US technology firms than for any single company based in Europe. Google, Apple, and Amazon each secure more access to these officials than any individual European entity, according to a Financial Times analysis.

These US companies also outspend their European rivals on lobbying efforts within Brussels. The report focuses on the scale of influence maintained by these technology firms through interaction volumes and expenditures to shape policy in the European Union's administrative hubs.
