Dear International Cooperation and Development,

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:

- Any study, impact assessment, forecast, paper or other document authored by the The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in which European development efforts in Africa were mentioned or discussed between August 2016 and March 2018.

- All correspondence (including emails) between DG Devco officials (including the Commissioner and the Cabinet) and members and/or representatives of The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation between August 2016 and March 2018.

- A list of meetings including detailed minutes and any other reports of such meetings between DG Devco officials (including the Commissioner and his Cabinet members) and members and/or representatives of The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation between August 2016 and March 2018.

- All correspondence (including emails) between DG Devco officials (including the Commissioner and the Cabinet) themselves, and members and/or representatives The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation about or mentioning the European External Investment Plan.

Should my request be denied wholly or partially, please explain the denial or all deletions referring to specific exemptions in the regulation. Also I expect the partial release of documents, in case of partial exemption according to article 4.6.

Do not hesitate to get back to me should you need any further
information which could facilitate your research. My postal adress will be forwarded to you.

Thank you for your assistance.

Yours faithfully,
