On 28 May 2008, FRIDE facilitated a meeting of members of the Commission for International Cooperation of the Spanish parliament (Congreso de Diputados) with representatives of the Board of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) and the CSO platform Publish What You Pay (PWYP).

The meeting was organised in parallel to the PWYP outreach event on 25 May and the EITI board meeting in Madrid between May 26 and 28. It aimed at, firstly, discussing the state of the EITI process and, secondly, exploring the specific contributions of Spain and the Spanish parliament to the fostering of governance in resource-rich developing countries by improving transparency and accountability within the EITI.
