Your application for access to documents GestDem 2018/0583
Dear Ms Cann,
I refer to your e-mail dated 22 January 2018 in which you requested, under Regulation
1049/20011,
"a list of all lobby meetings held by DG Trade, since 24 June 2016 on Brexit
and the article 50 negotiations on the UK's exit from the EU." You indicate that you
would be interested in
“date, Commission attendees, the name of the organisation(s)
attending, and a more precise topic if that exists".
As specified in Article 2(3) of Regulation 1049/2001, the right of access as defined in
that regulation applies only to existing documents in the possession of the institution.
In order to assist you and given that we don't have such a list as a self-standing
document, we have collected together the information you have requested in line with the
Code of Good Administrative Behaviour2.
