Results of Idea lab proposed by Vice-president Rainer Wieland
Dear European Parliament,
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:
Vice-president Rainer Wieland was quoted in the Guardian newspaper last year as saying the parliament had set up a new office, described as an "idea laboratory".
“This is an idea lab where we test ideas, whether they are useful, usable – and we want to think out of the box … I am deeply convinced that testing costs money, but not testing costs also money and sometimes even more.”
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/j...
I am seeking any document that reveals the ideas that have been proposed and or tested and any results stemming from this "idea laboratory".
Yours faithfully,
Nikolaj Nielsen
