Post-employment activity of Ignazio Angeloni
Alexander Fanta made this access to documents request to European Central Bank This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.
Dear European Central Bank,
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:
- Any communications by former Supervisory Board Member Ignazio Angeloni regarding his post-employment activity. This is meant to include his communication of 14 March 2019, as referred to in President Draghi's letter on 8 April 2019 [1], as well as the notification sent to the Ethic Committee by Mr Angeloni, as referred to in a letter by the Ethics Committee on 4 November 2020 [2].
- Any other post-employment exchanges between Mr Angeloni and the ECB. This is meant to include letter, faxes, e-mails, text messages and any other relevant communication.
- Mr Angeloni's most recent declaration of interest pursuant to Article 10 of the Code of Conduct
I note that my request does not pertain to the private life of Mr Angeloni, but his professional conduct. I make this request as a journalist looking into possible cases of misconduct and corruption. Therefore I argue that the exception under Article 4 (1.) (b) under Decision ECB/2004/3 regarding the access to documents does not apply in this case.
