European Union lobbying

I see from your importation request that you are translating de:Europäische Interessenvertretung. Might I suggest calling the English article something like "European Union lobbying". Though "Interessenvertretung" is fairly normal in German, "interest representation" sounds weird in normal English -- even if it may have caught on a bit in Eurospeak. The typical article title for a country would be like Lobbying in the United States or Lobbying in the United Kingdom, but we tend to avoid the form with "in" when talking about the EU itself (as opposed to geographic area of the EU including the member countries). We also tend to avoid the simple adjective "European" when talking of the EU rather than Europe as a whole. Alternative names can still be bolded in the introductory paragraph, and redirects can be used to link from various "Eurospeak" titles. --Boson (talk) 23:45, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your helpful suggestion! I already changed the title according to it. Josephine Folberth (talk) 12:51, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
