Documents related to MEPs friendship group visit to Dubai

Marzia Violini made this access to documents request to European Parliament Automatic anti-spam measures are in place for this older request. Please let us know if a further response is expected or if you are having trouble responding.

The request was partially successful.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Referring to Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 on public access to EU documents and to the 'Aarhus Convention' I would herewith like to ask for access to the following:

All documents —including but not limited to correspondence, emails, minutes, notes (hand written or electronic), audio or video recordings, verbatim reports, operational conclusions, lines to take, briefings, and presentations—related to the visit of the Parliamentary Friendship Group EU-UAE, 19/02/2022 - 24/02/2022 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

In consideration of the environment, I would prefer to receive documents electronically. Documents that cannot be sent in electronic format should be sent to:
Marzia Violini,
ARIA,
180 Borough High St
London SE1 1LB
United Kingdom

I would like to make clear I prefer you produce the documents on a rolling basis. At no point should the Commission's search for—or deliberations concerning—certain documents delay the production of others that the Commission has already retrieved and elected to produce.

Should my request be denied wholly or partially, please explain the denial or all deletions referring to specific exemptions in the regulation. Also I would expect the partial release of documents in case of partial exemption according to article 4.6. I reserve the right to appeal.

Please confirm having received this application. I look forward to your reply within 15 business days, according to the regulation.

If anything is unclear or would benefit from further discussion please do not hesitate to contact me by email.

Thank you for your assistance.

Yours sincerely
Marzia Violini

Dear Ms Violini,

following your request, we have identified [1]this draft agenda, which is
part of a [2]declaration made by Anna-Michelle ASIMAKOPOULOU, MEP, of her
participation in an event ("enclosure no 1" for the event on 20-02-2022).

Please note that, as friendship groups are unofficial groupings that are
organised outside of Parliament's, or its bodies', official activities,
Parliament's administration does not systematically hold documents related
to the activities of such groups, including the event subject to your
request.

With this response, Parliament considers your request as handled and the
file closed. Please do not hesitate to get back to us should you wish to
request access to other specific Parliament documents.

Best regards,

TRANSPARENCY UNIT
