   The directive's scope is broadened to cover all interest representation activities, not just economic ones, and the objective is changed to 'influencing' policy. New safeguards are added to protect fundamental rights and avoid stigmatisation, including exemptions for civil society activities and cooling-off periods. Registration and transparency requirements are tightened: registers must be interoperable, additional information is required, and sanctions can include suspension. Supervisory authorities gain more powers and independence, with new provisions on cross-border cooperation and requests for information. The other changes are formal or wording updates, including typo fixes and rephrasing.
