Dear Ann,
Infringement proceedings remain a very grey area and it is unclear how they
are treated under transparency rules.
Until now, there has not been any publication of exchanges between the
Commission and member states during the infringement process. I tried a
search on the Commission's register but it did not produce disceernible
results.
Once a case goes to the Court of Justice, there would be a public record in
the form of the Court decision. It is not clear from your messages if this
was the case.
The only way you are going to get any information about this case is to ask
the relevant DG (presumably Enterprise) or the Secretariat General.
