Vaccine talks
Dear Health and Food Safety,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents from March 2020 onwards which contain the following information:
a) Meeting records (drafts, memos, invitations, appointments, cancellations) involving AstraZeneca, Sanofi-GSK, Johnson & Johnson, CureVac and Moderna officials and/or representatives.
b) Correspondence exchanged with AstraZeneca, Sanofi-GSK, Johnson & Johnson, CureVac and Moderna officials and/or representatives, including all emails, minutes, reports, briefing papers or any other document received or drawn up before, during or after any meeting or conversation.
Please, do not exclude short-lived documents or documents considered to be unimportant under archiving rules and use the wider meaning of "meeting" when searching for the above-mentioned documents.
Yours faithfully,
Álvaro Merino,
Calle Jesús Goldero 19, Planta 1
El Orden Mundial
28045 Madrid.
Dear Secretariat General of the European Commission,
By mistake, I wrote "Health and Food Safety" instead of Secretariat General of the European Commission at the beginning of my request. Consider only the opening to be wrong, please.
Yours faithfully,
Álvaro Merino

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your e-mail of 14/09/2020. We hereby acknowledge receipt of
your application for access to documents, which was registered on
15/09/2020 under reference number GESTDEM 2020/5428.
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to
European Parliament, Council and Commission documents, your application
will be handled within 15 working days.
The time limit will expire on 06/10/2020. In case this time limit needs to
be extended, you will be informed in due course.
You have lodged your application via a private third-party website, which
has no link with any institution of the European Union.
Therefore, the European Commission cannot be held accountable for any
technical issues or problems linked to the use of this system.
Please note that the private third party running the AsktheEU.org website
is responsible and accountable for the processing of your personal data
via that website, and not the Commission.
For further information on your rights, please refer to the third party’s
privacy policy.
We understand that the third party running the AsktheEU.org website
usually publishes the content of applicants’ correspondence with the
Commission on that website. This includes the personal data that you may
have communicated to the Commission (e.g. your private postal address).
Similarly, the third party publishes on that website any reply that the
Commission will send to the email address of the applicants generated by
the AsktheEU.org website.
If you do not wish that your correspondence with the Commission is
published on a private third-party website such as AsktheEU.org, you can
provide us with an alternative, private e-mail address for further
correspondence. In that case, the Commission will send all future
electronic correspondence addressed to you only to that private address,
and it will use only that private address to reply to your request. You
should still remain responsible to inform the private third-party website
about this change of how you wish to communicate with, and receive a reply
from, the Commission.
For information on how we process your personal data visit our page
Privacy statement – access to documents.
Yours faithfully,
Access to Documents Team (rc)
Dear Mr MERINO,
We refer to your requests dated 14 September 2020 in which you make a
request for access to the same documents, both registered on 15 September
2020 under the above mentioned reference numbers.
Your application is currently being handled. However, we will not be in a
position to complete the handling of your application within the time
limit of 15 working days, which expires on 06 October 2020.
An extended time limit is needed due to internal consultations and a
thorough analysis of your request.
Therefore, we have to extend the time limit with 15 working days in
accordance with Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding
public access to documents. The new time limit expires on 27 October 2020.
We apologise for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause.
Yours faithfully,
