Your application for access to documents – GESTDEM 2022/4583
Dear Ms Palstra,
We refer to your email of 11 August 2022 in which you make a request for access to
documents, registered on 12 August 2022 under the above-mentioned reference number.
You request access to
“All documents—including but not limited to correspondence,
emails, minutes, notes (hand written or electronic), audio or video recordings, verbatim
reports, operational conclusions, lines to take, briefings, and presentations—related to
the meeting on 2022-06-02 between Monika Maglione and Microsoft Corporation”.
We regret to inform you that the Commission does not hold any documents that would
correspond to the description given in your application.
The meeting held between Monika Maglione and representatives of Microsoft on 2 June
2022 was a courtesy meeting, no written briefings were prepared nor any minutes of the
meeting were made.
As specified in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, the right of access as
defined in that regulation applies only to existing documents in the possession of the
institution. Given that no such documents, corresponding to the description given in your
application, are held by the Commission, the Commission is not in a position to fulfil
your request.
In accordance with Article 7(2) of Regulation 1049/2001, you are entitled to make a
confirmatory application requesting the Commission to review this position.
Such a confirmatory application should be addressed within 15 working days upon receipt
of this letter to the Secretariat-General of the Commission at the following address:
