Office of the President Ms Ursula von der Leyen
Digital Adviser
Brussels, 13 October 2020
Ares (2019) 5282928
Dear
Dear
President von der Leyen would like to thank you for your letter of 5 October 2020 kindly
requesting a meeting with a delegation of publishers from across Europe, on a date to be
convened, to discuss the challenges facing the press sector due to the COVID-19 pandemic
and the broader issue of adapting to the new digital world.
Regrettably, despite her interest in exchanging ideas on such issues, the President is unable
to give a positive response to your request due to a very busy schedule during the current
period.
Thank you in advance for your understanding. I would like to confirm my own continued
interest in the submissions made by your teams on these subjcts.
May I take this opportunity to congratulate both of you on your re-election and election as
of your respective organisations.
Yours sincerely,
[
