Dear Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion,

Dear Madam,

 

Thank you for your e-mail dated 08/03/2019. We hereby acknowledge receipt
of your application for access to documents, which was registered on
08/03/2019 under reference number GestDem 2019/1357.

 

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to
European Parliament, Council and Commission documents, your application
will be handled within 15 working days.

 

The time limit will expire on 29/03/2019. In case this time limit needs to
be extended, you will be informed in due course.

 

You have lodged your application via the AsktheEU.org website. Please note
that this is a private third-party website which has no link with any
institution of the European Union. Therefore, the European Commission
cannot be held accountable for any technical issues or problems linked to
the use of this system.

 

Please note that the private third party running the AsktheEU.org website
is responsible and accountable for the processing of your personal data
via that website, and not the European Commission. For further information
on your rights, please refer to the third party’s privacy policy.

 

We understand that the third party running that website usually publishes
the content of applicants’ correspondence with the European Commission on
that website. This includes the personal data that you may have
communicated to the European Commission (e.g. your private postal
address).

 

Similarly, the third party publishes on that website any reply that the
Commission will send to the email address of the applicants generated by
the AsktheEU.org website.

 

If you do not wish your correspondence with the European Commission to be
published on the AsktheEU.org website, you can provide us with an
alternative, private e-mail address for further correspondence.

 

In that case, the European Commission will send all future electronic
correspondence addressed to you only to that private address.

 

Yours faithfully,

Please find attached document Ares(2019)2215613 from SUBHAN Marie Olga (EMPL.01) dated 28/03/2019.

Veuillez trouver ci-joint le document Ares(2019)2215613 de SUBHAN Marie Olga (EMPL.01) daté du 28/03/2019.

Dear ve_empl.01(EMPL),

Thank you for getting back to me on Microsoft.
I am requesting an internal review because I do not think your answer covers my request.
Indeed, according to the transparency register, Microsoft did have a meeting with Inge Bernaerts, a member of Marianne Thyssen's cabinet, on May 25 2018.
I would please ask you to reconsider my request, with a special focus on the Commissioner, her cabinet and the head of the DG Joost Korte and the deputy Andriana Sukova .

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Laura Kayali
