Smoking ban

Ihre Anfrage war teilweise erfolgreich.

Dear European Parliament,

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:

Quaestor minutes dated 26.11.2019 speak of a possible ban on vaping inside European Parliament premises.

A decision was made "to postpone a decision on this matter in order to be able to carry out further examination and take account of all possible aspects and various opinions."

Am seeking any documents and emails on the "further examination" as well as "all possible aspects and various opinions" on this issue.

Yours faithfully,
Nikolaj Nielsen
