* The European Parliament decided against introducing mandatory registration of meetings between interest groups and parliament members on Wednesday (19 April) in a move criticised by pro-transparency campaigners.
* The Left group sought to introduce an amendment for the mandatory registration of meetings with lobbyists.
* The Left needed only one political group to table the amendment, a condition sine qua non to put a file under the vote in this specific case but failed to get any support.
* Mandatory meetings registration is one of the key points of the post-Qatargate reforms largely endorsed by the political groups in early February.
