Dear Ms Hus,
This concerns your request for public access to documents relating to
three meetings between Alexander Bernhuber, Member of the European
Parliament, and certain interest representatives.
Please note that Parliament does not hold any documents related to
meetings and events hosted by Members and involving third parties, if the
meeting was not part of a parliamentary activity (e.g. in the context of a
committee meeting) and was therefore held without the involvement of
Parliament’s administration. Indeed, Parliament’s administration has no
access to Members’ private offices (see also [1]Rule 125(2) of
Parliament’s Rule of Procedure).
Meetings with interest representatives and events organised by Members are
normally published on Members’ websites. From there by clicking on a
particular member, you can access their website and find a relevant list
on the right side of the page under Home -> Meetings, for example [2]here
in the case of Mr Bernhuber. Such meeting declarations are regulated by
[3]Article 7 of Annex I of the Rules of Procedure of the European
Parliament.
Moreover, pieces of correspondence, notes, minutes, recordings, attendance
lists and any other background documents from such meetings are usually
held by the Member and, should you wish to have access to them, you may
get in touch with the Member’s office (the relevant contact information is
provided in Parliament’s website).
On this basis, Parliament considers your application handled and the
procedure closed. Should you wish to submit any new requests for specific
Parliament documents, [4]please do not hesitate to come back to us.
Best regards,
TRANSPARENCY UNIT
