Commissioner Malmström's invitations to events and speaking engagements

The request was successful.

Dear DG Trade,

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting a list of, or copies of, all invitations received to attend, or speak at, an event organised by a third party, as received by Commissioner Cecilia Malmström since 1 November 2014.
Additionally, I would like to request a full list of all external speaking engagements made by Commissioner Malmström since 1 November 2014. This list should include the date and venue of the event, the host(s) and organiser(s) of the event, and the topics discussed.

Yours faithfully,
