MEPs call for inquiry into Neelie Kroes while cab-hailing firm could lose access to European parliament
EU authorities have been urged to investigate a former politician linked to Uber and consider stripping the cab-hailing company of access passes to the European parliament, amid growing calls to rein in tech lobbyists.
Nearly two dozen Socialist Democrat and Green MEPs wrote to the European Commission on Tuesday calling for an investigation into its former vice-president Neelie Kroes, over documents that appear to show she helped Uber lobby the Dutch government soon after leaving her post in 2014 as the EU’s top official for internet policy.
