Abstract

Scholars who have written on the European Round Table of Industrialists (ERT) all argue that given its specific organisational features, this club of Chairmen and Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of Europe’s largest transnational corporations (TNCs) is quite a different animal from all established business associations (see, e.g., Cowles, 1995a; Greenwood, 1997: 110–13; van Apeldoorn, 2000). Still, 18 years since its formation, the ERT has become a very well-known and well-respected actor within Brussels, certainly an ‘insider’ within a number of important European policy areas. The question therefore arises whether over time the ERT has not become more of a ‘normal’ business group, whether it is indeed still a unique player.
