Did Ursula von der Leyen establish a parallel personal diplomacy with the CEO of Pfizer?

 

The European Ombudsman wrote to the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, following a complaint filed for failure by the European Commission to communicate text messages exchanged by the President with the CEO of Pfizer last spring . The letter signed by Mrs O'Reilly, holder of the post until 2023, makes one aware of the lack of democratic control over the Commission; on the other hand, the fact that globalist leaders shamelessly practice permanent connivance.

Madame von der Leyen sits on administrative procedures, rule of law and democracy

We give below a translation of the letter sent by Mrs O'Reilly, Ombudsperson of the European Union, to Ursula von der Leyen, following a complaint lodged to obtain communication of the messages exchanged between the President of the European Commission and the CEO of Pfizer.

In April 2021, The New York Times reported that the President of the Commission had texted and called with Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla for a month in negotiations to buy vaccines for the bloc.

Emily O’Reilly asked the Commission to hand over the text messages to her, but the Commission claimed that "no records have been kept of such messages", according to the Ombudsman’s office. Yet "the EU administration is bound by the EU's right to establish and keep documents relating to its activities, to the extent possible and in a non-arbitrary and predictable manner."

We thus lift the veil on the enormous gap that exists between the proclamations by the European institutions of their respect for the rule of law and reality. Not only are simple administrative procedures not followed, but we realize that the President of the Commission is in dialogue directly with the CEO of a potential supplier, in disregard of respect for tendering procedures and ethics. We do not even talk about the question of democratic control of decisions taken by the European Commission.

Before having other elements, it will be noted that Mrs von der Leyen practices, without a shadow of a doubt or prudence, the connivance of the leading globalist circles among themselves.

Letter from Emily O'Reilly to Ursula von der Leyen from EdouardHusson

Letter from the European Ombudsman to the European Commission regarding the denial of public access to text messages exchanged between the President of the Commission and the CEO of a

pharmaceutical company regarding the purchase of a COVID-19 vaccine (your reference GESTDEM

2021/2908)

Correspondence - 09/16/2021

Case 1316/2021 / MIG - Opened on 16/09/2021 - Institution concerned European Commission

 European Commission

Madame President,

I received a complaint from X against the European Commission. It concerns public access to "text" messages relating to the conclusion of a purchase agreement for a COVID-19 vaccine earlier this year, as the New York Times reported

In the event that public access to documents is refused under Regulation 1049/2001,

applicants can turn to the Mediator. In this context, I am opening an investigation into this complaint.

The Commission partially disclosed three documents to the complainant, but said it did not have any documents relating to any “text” messages relevant to the request. The Commission also stated

that it does not have to "preserve every document" and that "text messages" are generally "ephemeral" in nature and therefore, in principle, excluded from its archiving policy.

Given the alleged purpose of the texts, the complainant considers that these messages

come under the concept of “document” within the meaning of Regulation 1049/2001.

I decided that it was necessary for my investigation team to meet with representatives of the Commission in order to obtain further information. More specifically, I would like

that the Commission can, during this meeting, explain

- its policy on recording text messages and how this policy is implemented in practice

- whether, and if so, how and where, it searched for possible text messages falling within the scope of the Data Protection Directive.

Request of the complainant.

I would be grateful if the representatives of the Commission concerned could contact Ms. Michaela Gehring, who is the investigator in charge of this investigation, in order to agree on the modalities of the meeting to take place before 8 October 2021, if possible.

Information or documents which the Commission considers confidential will not be disclosed to the complainant or to any other person without prior agreement.

Please accept, Madam, Sir, the expression of my distinguished feelings,

Emily O’Reilly European Ombudsman

Strasbourg, 16/09/2021
