FPI meetings with TBI
Dear Foreign Policy Instruments,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:
1- All correspondence (including email, SMS, private twitter and WhatsApp) since 1st January 2025 between officials in Foreign Policy Instruments with representatives from the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change.
2- All briefings, minutes of meetings, and correspondence since 1st January 2025 between officials in Foreign Policy Instruments with representatives from the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change.
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.
To the extent possible, I would prefer the documents in electronic format.
Should my request be denied wholly or partially, please explain the denial or all deletions referring to specific exemptions in the regulation. Also I 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.
Yours faithfully,
Alessandro Runci
Via Fausto Pesci, 47, 00177, Rome, Italy
