Dear European Data Protection Supervisor,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:
The amount spent by the European Union in relation to data
protection across the Union, including on officers, staff, physical and soft copy storage of information.

Yours faithfully,
Sean Defoe
