Former EC President José Manuel Barrosso and EC Vice-President Jyrki Katainen
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 information on any meetings that have taken place between former European Commission President José Manuel Barroso, now working as non-executive Chairman at Goldman Sachs, and the current Vice-President of the European Commission Jyrki Katainen.
Any agendas, emails or other documents that allow to easily see when and how many meetings have taken place. Both exclusive meetings and round-tables, conferences or other gatherings that might have included other participants should be included.
Yours faithfully,
Raphaël Kergueno

Dear Mr Kergueno,
the Secretariat-General has forwarded your request to our department for
response.
Please note that, as your application did not mention any specific
documents or references, but instead information on all meetings,
bilateral or in wider context, between Vice-President Katainen and former
President Barroso, your request will be treated as a request for
information rather than a formal access-to-documents request under
Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001.
Our understanding is that you are interested in meetings that took place
after Mr Barroso left the European Commission (November 2014).
If so, could please confirm this to us.
Your request for information will be treated according to the rules of the
Code of Conduct of Good Administrative Behaviour for the Commission
Services.
Under the Code, a response should be given within 15 working days upon
receipt of the mail. Therefore the deadline for replying to your request
will end 15 working days following your reply to our question above.
We will do our utmost to respect this deadline and inform you should we
need more time.
Yours sincerely,
Kind regards, Cordialement,
