Dear Mr Vranken,

 

In response to your request we refer to one meeting which was organised on
19 May 2016 with representatives of the European Association of Aerospace
and Defence industry.

The meeting took place on request of the company Finmeccanica (now
Leonardo S.p.A.).  In the meeting the Head of the Cabinet of Commissioner
Georgieva, Andreas Schwarz, has participated, accompanied by the official
Francesco Bonanomi, Deputy Head of Unit BUDG.A3.

The meeting had pure informative character and was not followed-up by an
exchange of minutes or any other correspondence.  

 

Yours sincerely,

Olivier Salles

Head of Unit BUDG.A3

- Do you have any minutes or any other pieces of information concerning the issues dealt with during this meeting;
- Can you confirm that is the only meeting DG Budget officials of any level had with representatives from individual companies (including lobby consultancies and law firms) and/or industry associations, in which the PA on Defence Research and the EDRP were dealt with?

Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir
Please find our follow-up answers below.
Thanks and regards.
 
Thank you for your response. I have a few follow-up questions:
- Do you have any correspondence in relation to this meeting before or
after this meeting took place; No.
- Do you have any minutes or any other pieces of information concerning
the issues dealt with during this meeting; there have been some internal
meetings, limited to Commission services, in order to prepare the proposal
included in the Draft Budget 2017 which then was a document available to
the public.
- Can you confirm that is the only meeting DG Budget officials of any
level had with representatives from individual companies (including lobby
consultancies and law firms) and/or industry associations, in which the PA
on Defence Research and the EDRP were dealt with? Yes.
