Dear Offshore Oil and Gas Team,

Thank you for your kind reply to my information request.

I am kindly interesting to know the number of contacts/meetings with trade associations representing oil and/or gas companies that the DG Energy had during the past 2 years. Moreover I would like kindly to ask you if the UK permanent representation and the DG Energy had any meeting related to the safety of offshore oil and gas activities.

Kind regards,

Anastasia Mitronatsiou
