In the EU, lobbyists need to get registered.

Here's a few examples of registered organisations that lobby the EU:

* the Electronic Frontier Foundation https://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultatio...

* the Mozilla Foundation https://ec.europa.eu/transparencyregister/public/consultatio...

Do you think it's corruption when they inform the EU of the risks of legislation (like eIDAS) and fight against potential loopholes (successfully in the case of eIDAS)?

I think in general it is corruption. That's what 99% of lobbying is. Rare exceptions don't change that.
