Dear Trade,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting any document connected to two recent meetings with the Tony Blair Institute and Commissioner Sefcovic and his cabinet. I am aware that minutes of the two meetings, which took place on 18/03/2025 and 01/04/2025, are available publicly on the Commission website. But I was hoping for any additional documents related to these two meetings, including e-mails and additional documents provided by TBI.
Yours faithfully,
Alexander Fanta

Dear Mr Fanta,
We refer to your email application for public access to documents of 26
September 2025, registered on the same date under the EASE reference
number 2025/4917.
Your application is currently being handled and the reply to it should be
finalised very soon.
However, we will not be in a position to complete the handling of your
application within the time limit of 15 working days, which expires on 17
October 2025, i.e. today. An extended time limit is needed as the
application concerns documents held by different Services, which must be
consulted.
Therefore, we have to extend the time limit by 15 working days in

public access to documents.
The new time limit expires on 7 November 2025.
