Dear Secretariat General (SG),
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Secretariat General (SG)'s handling of my FOI request 'Meeting Cabinet Barroso and Senator Bradley - 2006'.
According to my information, such a meeting took place between 17 and 20 April 2006. The below link provides that information:
"During meetings with staff of the European Commission President José Manuel Barosso and European Commissioner of Enlargement Olli Rehn, it was repeatedly stated that the EU has not told the Romanian government that their accession would be in jeopardy should they process the remaining international adoption cases."

Considering the sensitivity of the lobby for intercountry adoption, I would expect written accountibility of such meetings.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address:
