Dear Mr Sabido,

I am responsible in DG CNECT for dealing with your request for access to
documents (ref GESTDEM 2013-6094).

In order to facilitate the processing of your request, I would be grateful
if you could confirm the following information in advance of our response:

1) That your request relates specifically to "data privacy", as referenced
in the subject line of your request. In the body of your request, you also
mention the "digital agenda", but in fact this is a broad term that the
Commission uses to refer to all its digital policies across all
Directorates-General.

2) Whether you have in mind a specific time period for the documents (i.e.
start date and end date).

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Kind regards

James Gray
Unit H4 – Trust and Security

European Commission

Dear Communications Networks, Content and Technology (CNECT),

In response to your questions:

1) Data privacy is important to my work, but I am also interested in other areas of the digital agenda (such as copyright and licensing). Therefore I would appreciate if the search covered contact with the listed companies and the commission concerning the digital agenda.

2) Apologies for not supplying dates - my interest is within this current Parliament.

Best,

Pascoe

Yours faithfully,

Pascoe Sabido
