That might be something to explore. It sort of goes back to asking ourselves whether public office holders should also register the lobbying activities they are subject to. There might be some cooperation, but I think we have to be careful if we want to require public office holders to disclose lobbying activities as well. That might lead to a significant bureaucratic burden, especially if we also start having rules specifically for public office holders and other people who also have to register the lobbying activities they are subject to.
