Contact with interest groups on Directive 2015/1513

La solicitud fue exitosa.

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:

1. Communication in the form of documents (agendas, meetings, minutes of meetings, lists of participants, etc.) between the ENVI committee and/or the other committees for opinion (ITRE, DEVE, INTA, IMCO, TRAN, REGI, AGRI) or its members and interest groups, as defined in the Transparency Register, regarding biofuels in relation to Directive 2015/1513.

2. Communication in the form of e-mail exchanges between rapporteurs LEPAGE Corinne (ALDE) and TORVALDS Nils (ALDE) and interest groups, as defined in the Transparency Register, regarding biofuels in relation to Directive 2015/1513.

The timeframe for my request is between 17/10/2012 and 09/09/2015.

I would prefer these items on a rolling basis, rather than waiting until the full response is ready.

Yours faithfully,

Marco Gilotto
