Travel expenses of EIOPA Executive Director
Dear European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am hereby requesting access to the travel expenses of EIOPA's Executive Director, for the period 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016 inclusive.
I am looking for documents that contain, for each of the trips, the following information:
- Place of origin and destination, and the amount spent on travel or transportation;
- Exact dates and duration of the trip;
- Amount spent on accommodation;
- Amount spent on subsistence;
- Other information, such as possible miscellaneous costs.
If the travel was by air taxi and a team of people were travelling, please also provide documents with details on the other travellers (at a minimum, names and job titles).
With respect to personal information contained in any documents that you might have, I note that the only information being sought here is the name and surname of EIOPA's Executive Director, something which is already in the public domain. This request does not seek access to any other personal information such as bank account details. Nor am I requesting data such as the office addresses, signatures or telephone numbers of EIOPA staff members.
I remain at your disposition to answer any questions or clarifications you might have related to this request.
Thank you in advance.
Yours faithfully,
Luisa Izuzquiza
