Dear Madam/Sir

Thank you for your email.

‎For the time being, transparency and information rules of EU Member States, including for their Permanent Representations, are a matter of national legislation.

The relevant Austrian laws do not oblige officials to keep records of any possible meetings with representatives of companies, organizations, etc. ‎We are therefore unable to provide the information you requested.

Kind regards

Austrian Permanent Representation to the EU
