Exchanges with TBI since 1 December 2024
Alexander Fanta made this access to documents request to Communications Networks, Content and Technology
Dear Communications Networks, Content and Technology,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents about exchanges between DG Connect with the Tony Blair Institute since the start of the mandate on 1 December 2024. This is meant to include minutes to a meeting with Vice-President Virkkunen on 11/12/2024, as well as other meeting documents. But the request is also meant to include any document sent by TBI, such as e-mails, policy papers, presentations, invitations, etc. I am aware that minutes to two meetings with the Vice-President and her cabinet since the start of the year have been proactively published, but I wish to request any additional documents connected to these meetings, such as preparatory briefings, handwritten notes, etc.
Yours faithfully,
Alexander Fanta
