Dear Permanent Representation of Netherlands to the EU,
Dear Madam/Sir,

The FOI request mentions the "Permanent Representation of Belgium to the EU". This is incorrect, and should obviously be "the Permanent Representation of Netherlands to the EU". Apologies for any misunderstanding that may have occurred.

Yours faithfully,
