Dear 
, Dear 
,
 
I trust you're both well and enjoyed the summer?
 
I would like to return to the logistics of the meeting of our two principals at 1700
CET on 30 September.
 
As you will not be surprised to hear (and as I already relayed to Werner some
days ago), the ever-changing covid restrictions on international travel mean that
Evan will not be able to meet in person with Mme Vestager in Brussels on 30
September. We hope, however, your EVP can agree that a video conf call will be
an adequate substitute under the circumstances?
 
If you could send us a calendar invite with your preferred VC credentials
(presumably webex?), we will make that work from our side. Please send the
invitation to me, 
and 
 in 
 office
@snap.com).
 
In terms of participants from Snap side, it will be:

 
In terms of topics, as already related to Werner, we suggest:
·       Covid-19 crisis and state of markets - Understand how the
Commission regards digital market opportunities and threats
emanating from the recent crisis. Discuss overall state of digital
markets, tech generally and the Commission's current
investigations; Snap's perspective as a challenger in the EU
marketplace.
·              DSA  - Discuss perspectives on how DSA is shaping up.
Importance to the health of digital markets for the next decade
plus. Liability update, incentivising social responsibility by
companies, ex ante instrument (relatedly, new ex post
competition tool). Examples from Snap of things that are not
working and ideas how to resolve them
·       DST - What can we do together to help ensure success of
current OECD process? What are the Commission's contingency
plans? Snap view on EU-only DST and its necessary
components for success, should OECD process fail.
·              EU Strategic autonomy and digital sovereignty - Would
like to understand these concepts better from Mme Vestager's
point of view
 
If there is anything Mme Vestager would want to add/delete/amend, please feel
free to do so.
 
Thanks - and we're standing by if you have any subsequent questions.

Should be no problem.

Dear

Thank you very much for your prompt feedback and the confirmation.
 
My sincere apologies, the final timeslot proposed for the meeting is on
the same day Wednesday 30th of September at 5pm (so 17h00 instead of
originally 15h00).
Would that timing still be appropriate for 
?
 
Thank you very much for your help & kind feedback.

Dear 
,
 

I trust you and all your cabinet colleagues are
staying safe during these strange times?
 
We are slowly working to get back to normal. In
that regard, we are planning 
's trip back to
Brussels that was postponed in March due to the
pandemic.
 
As before, 
would very much value a meeting
with Mme Vestager to discuss EU and global
digital policy and business matters of mutual
interest. The meeting would be timely, given the
DSA and digital competition-related initiatives the
Commission has recently kicked off.
 
We are planning for Weds 30 September and would
be grateful if you could let us know whether that
date would work in principle for your EVP.
 
Any questions, please do not hesitate to call me.
 
I have cc'd 
, for their visibility
and since we have spoken on these important topics
in the recent past.
 
Kind regards

I trust you are well?
 
You may recall that 
 
, met

with Mme Vestager in January last year, during
his visit to Brussels? Evan is returning to
Brussels on Monday 16 March and would very
much value a follow up meeting with the
Commissioner at a time of her convenience.
 
The continued strong focus of Mme Vestager and
her team on digital competition and policy
matters aligns closely with many of our current
concerns and would make a March meeting
timely and mutually useful, we believe.
 
Please do not hesitate to contact me directly for
any questions; I look forward to hearing from you
soon.
