"Under the new rules, only events organised by official Parliament bodies can invite external visitors. A letter sent to MEPs late last week lists the official bodies as: the conference of presidents, the bureau, the quaestors, the committees, the delegations and the political groups. Events sponsored by individual MEPs will no longer be allowed to take place."
