Abstract

The new trend to rule lobbies at parliament has spread worldwide in the past few years. Such ruling not only covers major activities opposite executive powers but also opposite legislative powers. When such activities are specifically ruled opposite both the Houses, the law shares certain common ground with the laws of executive power and certain idiosyncracies which clearly adapt to the uniqueness of the Houses. Such offer new opportunities to turn the lobby into a tool to promote the citizen’s participation, sticking to basic principles of democracy.
