Contacts with oil companies in relation to MIFID
Dear Permanent Representation of UK to the EU,
On behalf of Friends of the Earth Europe, I hereby submit a request for access to documents under Regulation 1049/2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents. I would like to request access to the following:
All documents in relation to contacts between members of the Permanent Representation of the United Kingdom and oil companies in relation to MIFID (the Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on markets in financial instruments repealing Directive 2004/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council) since 1 January 2012, including letters and email exchanges as well as lists of meetings.
Please produce the documents on a rolling basis. At no point should the search for-or deliberations concerning-certain documents delay the production of others that have already retrieved and eligible for disclosure. In the event this application relates to a very large number of documents, we are open to confer informally with a view to finding a fair solution within the prescribed time limits.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Natacha Cingotti

Dear Permanent Representation of UK to the EU,
Thank you for sending us this piece of information. I would just like to clarify that the documents you just sent pertain to our request about the contacts between the finance industry and the Permanent Representation of the UK about MIFID, not the contacts with the Oil Industry (as stated in the request labelling).
Thank you very much for clarifying this point.
Yours faithfully,
Natacha Cingotti
Natacha,
Yes, this pertains to request below:
- Information about all contacts (including emails and letter
exchanges) between members of the Permanent Representation of the
UK and banks and financial institutions (including: pension funds,
asset management companies, trading venues, asset managers), in
relation to the recast of MIFID (the Proposal for a Directive of
the European Parliament and of the Council on markets in financial
instruments repealing Directive 2004/39/EC of the European
Parliament and of the Council) since 1 January 2012.
- A list of meetings that took place between the parties mentioned
in 1) since 1 January 2012.
Kind regards,
Ben

Response is delayed - Permanent Representation asked for an extension, so I do not hold the information yet, but they should provide it to me within the next 20 working days.
