Dear Secretariat General (SG),

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 reference to or documentation on minutes, notes, papers and
other types of documents that include any form of contact between
President Barroso, his cabinet and staff, and the European
Round Table of Industrialists on 'contractual arrangements' between
Member States and the Commission, from September 2012 until the
present day.

- Any reference to or documentation on minutes, notes, papers and
other types of documents that include any form of contact between
President Barroso, his cabinet and staff, and Business
Europe on 'contractual arrangements' between Member States and the
Commission from September 2012 until the present day.

Yours faithfully,

Leonie Hogervorst

Dear Secretariat General (SG), Ms Klingbeil,

First of all, thank you for the response to the application under Regulation 1049/2001 concerning a request for access to documents about contact of President Barroso, his cabinet and staff, with ERT and Business Europe about contractual arrangements between the EU and its Member States.
However, unfortunately, the response was not satisfying as it was stated that no document on this issue could be identified.
Therefore, pursuant to article 7(2) of Regulation 1049/2001, I herewith would like to make a confirmatory application.
Although it is hard to establish with absolute certainty if the non-identified documents are indeed held, it is common knowledge that certain meetings have taken place between President Barroso and the mentioned groups, at which the contractual arrangements were a main topic on the agenda - for example, a meeting that took place last March in Berlin that involved Mr Barroso and the ERT. Therefore, it seems very unlikely that no single document would be available that refers to these meetings.

Yours faithfully,

Leonie Hogervorst
