Dear European Parliament,
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:
I would like to request access to the following documents related to the PETI Committee's fact-finding visit to Austria, which took place from 14 to 16 April 2025:
1. The budgetary documents or overall expense records related to the mission (aggregated totals only, no personal data);
2. The official itinerary or programme as approved prior to the mission;
3. Any internal or inter-institutional communications, invitations, notes, or decisions concerning the planning, approval, or follow-up of the mission that are not already public.
If any parts of the documents are subject to exceptions under Regulation 1049/2001, I kindly request partial access with redactions where necessary, rather than a blanket refusal.
I prefer to receive the documents in electronic format. Please do not hesitate to contact me if further clarification is needed.
Yours faithfully,
