Dear
,
As a follow-up to the email exchange below and our phone conversation earlier this morning, I’m
contacting you as Mr.
,
of Microsoft Corporation, will be in Brussels on Monday
January 20 and we would like to request a meeting with Commissioner Reynders. The purpose of the
meeting would be to discuss AI, Privacy and e-evidence.
You mentioned earlier it could eventually be possible on that date but you needed to double-check his
availability with his personal assistant. Thank you in advance for considering this request and looking
forward to hearing from you as to whether a meeting can be arranged.
Kind Regards,

Dear
,
First, please allow me to congratulate you on your new assignment in the cabinet of Commissioner
Reynders. As I know you are aware from our prior meetings and general engagement, Microsoft has been an
active stakeholder from industry in the e-evidence legislation and we have appreciated the opportunity to
exchange views throughout the legislative process. We are encouraged to see continuity on this important
piece of legislation.
Given that the legislation could move quickly to trilogues in 2020, we would be most grateful to have an
opportunity to meet with you and Commissioner Reynders after the holiday. Our primary interest would be
to exchange views on the proposed e-evidence legislation, but we are also closely engaged on issues
pertaining to artificial intelligence and facial recognition technology.
Many thanks for your kind consideration.
Regards,
