The following paper indicates that in every political system different groups cooperate and connect with each other in order to influence the public policy and to strive towards their goals. Many European groups that are active on the European Union level represent different sectors of industry – most of their members are national representatives, including federations, associations or corporations united in supranational organizations. Pressure groups which are active on European level are defined as politically independent organizations which try to influence the political sphere, but contrary to political parties to not strive towards claiming the power. The transnational corporations possess the power which is connected with economy, technics and knowledge. What is more, they control more than one third of global resources, thus influencing the political decisions and development directions of many states. Another crucial issue connected with widely understood world of business is the erosion of ethical standards in this circles.
