Dear Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs,
Thank you very much for your timely reply. Concerning your request for clarification:
1. In the lobbyregister (https://www.lobbyfacts.eu/datacard/alber...) I found two meetings on the same day between the same individuals. One time on "German Gambling Laws
" and one time on "Gambling". If this was in fact one meeting, I would only be interested in the minutes and reports of this particular meeting on 13 Jan 2015.
2. Supposing that there was only one meeting, I am only interested in the documents directly used in the preparation or as a direct outcome to the meeting. I thus do not see the need for a concrete temporal scope.

Yours faithfully,

Moritz Neujeffski
