contacts with lobbyists regarding the EU SME Envoy post
Dear Secretariat General of the European Commission,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:
1) Minutes and other notes from meetings (including online meetings) between the European Commission and stakeholders/lobbyists (from January 1st 2023 until the date of this request) in which the EU SME Envoy post was discussed;
2) All correspondence (including emails and instant messages) between the European Commission and stakeholders/lobbyists (from January 1st 2023 until the date of this request), in which the EU SME Envoy post was discussed;
There is a clear public interest in the disclosure of these documents. The transparency rules as set out in the Lisbon Treaty oblige the EU institutions to work as openly and as closely as possible to the citizens. There is moreover clearly a lot at stake for citizens in this case, as the appointment procedure for the EU SME Envoy has raised major controversy.
Yours faithfully,
Olivier Hoedeman
on behalf of Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO)

Dear GROW A2D team,
in response to your request for more detailed information about my request EASE 2024/2006, here's my clarification:
the Commission services / hierarchical level of meetings targeted with the request are:
- Commission President von der Leyen and her cabinet and wider team
- Commission President Breton and his cabinet
With this narrowing down of the request it should be feasible to cover all stakeholders/lobbyists with which the EU SME Envoy post was discussed (in meetings or correspondence).
Yours faithfully,
Olivier Hoedeman
