Unlinked but matchable

3 counterpart entries in Juan Ignacio Zoido Álvarez's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:

Matching is automated and can be wrong - see how matching works. Linking the register entry is the fix, and it is the MEP office's to make.
