Subject: Access to Commission Documents - Appeal
Dear Mr. Carl,
Thank you very much for the documents you sent me with your
letter of 27 March 2002, in response to my request for access to
EC documents from 13 February 2002. Having read the documents, I
have however come to the conclusion that the reply to our request
is incomplete. I am confident that a second search of your
archives would result in a more satisfactory outcome.
I would specifically like to ask for the following documents:
- All EC reports from EC meetings with the ESF, including the
EC-ESF meeting on GATS and the distribution sector (10 December
2001)
- All EC reports from ESF Policy Committee meetings attended by
EC staff (I received reports the meetings of 18 January 2000, 18
July 2001 and 7 December 2001, but not of those that took place
on 22 March 2000, 8 June 2000, 25 September 2000, 27 November
2000, 7 February 2001, etc.)
- EC reports from other ESF meetings attended by EC staff,
including EC minutes from the meetings between the ESF and the
members of the 133 (services) Committee (for instance on 20 June
2000, 14 November 2000 and 30 October 2001).
- All correspondence from the EC to the ESF (mail and email). I
have received correspondence sent by the EC to the ESF on the
issue of trade barriers in the distribution sector (including
lists of trade barriers in various countries), but not on the
many other sectors covered by the GATS 2000 negotiations. I
assume correspondence has taken place on these other issues as
well. I also note that we received only one letter sent by email,
which seems very little.
I would very much appreciate if you could send me the above
mentioned documents.
Yours sincerely,
Erik Wesselius
