Travel expenses of EDA Director

La demande est réussie.

Dear European Defence Agency,

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am hereby requesting access to the travel expenses of EDA's Director, for the period 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016 inclusive.

I am looking for documents that contain, for each of the trips, the following information:
- Place of origin and destination, and the amount spent on travel or transportation;
- Exact dates and duration of the trip;
- Amount spent on accommodation;
- Amount spent on subsistence;
- Other information, such as possible miscellaneous costs.

If the travel was by air taxi and a team of people were travelling, please also provide documents with details on the other travellers (at a minimum, names and job titles).

With respect to personal information contained in any documents that you might have, I note that the only information being sought here is the name and surname of EDA's Director, something which is already in the public domain. This request does not seek access to any other personal information such as bank account details. Nor am I requesting data such as the office addresses, signatures or telephone numbers of EDA staff members.

I remain at your disposition to answer any questions or clarifications you might have related to this request.

Thank you in advance.

Yours faithfully,

Luisa Izuzquiza

Dear Mrs Izuzquiza,

In reply to your request for access to documents of 16 January 2018, please find attached the expense reports of our Executive Director, Mr. Jorge Domecq, for the year 2016.
The attached documents include an expense report for each mission (detailed costs: accommodation, subsistence allowance, taxi and transportation costs) as well as a list of payments made to our new Travel Agency which are not stated in the afore-mentioned expense report. As we changed the provider around August 2016, the method of payment changed as well. As a result of this, expense reports no longer included transportation costs (as from Mission JDO00084). You can however link these costs to each mission by using the mission reference number.

Kind regards,
EDA
