access to documents request - Request to the Ad Hoc Ethical Committee in relation to former EU Commission President Barroso

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Secretariat General of the European Commission should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Secretariat General,

I have learned from the letter of President Juncker of 9 September 2016 (Ares 2016 - 5609319), which was disclosed by the EU Ombudsman, that you will seek advice - upon reception of Mr Barroso's response to your request for clarification -to the Ad Hoc Ethical Committee in relation to his new responsibilities.

Since Mr Barroso responded to Mr Juncker's request for clarifications on 13 September (the letter was published by several media), I am requesting - under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001 - the following documents:

- request by the EU Commission to the Ad Hoc Ethical Committee in relation to Mr Barroso new responsibility with Goldman Sachs;
- documents, minutes and exchanges that you have in relation to this file.

Yours faithfully,
Alberto Alemanno
