Gifts
Dear European Parliament,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents that contain the following information:
The Parliament's code of conduct states that all officials shall seek permission to receive gifts of above €100. I would like to obtain a list of all requests from Parliamentary officials to receive gifts over €100, since 2014.
Yours faithfully,
Samuel Stolton
