In November 2007 Dr Rolf Waegenbaur, a former director of the European Commission's legal service, joined EU lobbying firm Alber & Geiger. Between working as a director at the Commission, he worked at the German law firm Graf von Westphalen where he worked for 5 years during which time he lobbied for multinationals on the EU tobacco advertising directive.[1]
