Dear European Parliament,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of European Parliament's handling of my FOI request 'spendings of Hungarian MEPs'.

1. The response and the links provided do not answer my questions regarding the additional offices of MEPs (address, cost and date of the rent), nor detail on what exactly the general allowance was spent on. If my request of these data is refused, please provide a reason for that decision.

2. As my question is about persons (1) spending public money (2) in connection with their public duties, I see no reason for rejecting my public information request on grounds of calling the data "personal matters of individual MEPs".

3. The response did not include the answer for the vast majority of my questions regarding the assistants of MEPs. Please provide a reasoning if upon further consideration, the following questions are still refused to be answered: "From which date until which date the assistants of MEPs were/have been employed, how much was/has been their salary? Quarter of this monthly budget might be spent on writing studies and giving advice. Which companies or individuals were contracted for such tasks? Please provide their job description and the amount of payment they received for the job."

4. If the names of the visitors come under personal data protection, please provide the requested information without the names, but detailing all other relevant data.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: http://www.asktheeu.org/en/request/spend...

Yours faithfully,

Blanka Zöldi
