Lobbying is legal in most (all?) of Europe too. It's a slippery activity to pin down, not amenable to banning because it consists of nominally innocuous activities. You can put degrees of limitation on activities that reduce what you'd call lobbying, but I don't see how you could make it fully illegal.

I thought giving gifts etc was illegal in Europe, but apparently not?

It's (basically) illegal in the US as well.
