Which lobbyist meetings Austria's MEPs hold, who conceals their lobby appointments, who the largest lobbyist organizations in Austria are and what Harald Vilimsky and Othmar Karas have in common.

Austria has become a little more corrupt again. This is confirmed by the latest report from Transparency International, in which Austria has dropped nine places and fallen out of the top 20. Now, just a few weeks after the corruption scandal in the EU Parliament surrounding Vice-President Eva Kaili, Transparency International is also sounding the alarm in Brussels. MEPs are not keeping sufficient records of their appointments with lobbyists - and this also applies to some of Austria's MEPs.
