Dear Estonian delegation,
On behalf of Dimitri Lorenzani, Cabinet Member of European Commission Vice-
President Maroš Šefčovič, I would like to renew our invitation to the 7th high-level
meeting of the European Battery Alliance, to be held in Brussels on Wednesday 1st March
2023 from 14:30 to 16:30.
As we have not yet received a written confirmation from your delegation, we would like
to ask you to please urgently indicate who will represent your Member State at the
Battery Ministerial, as well as the names of the accompanying members.
Please also find below some important logistical information in order to facilitate access
to the Berlaymont premises.
Access to the Berlaymont building via the Welcome centre by presenting a QR-
code along with your identity document: Visitors arriving on foot must enter the
Berlaymont building via the new Welcome Center (please see short access guide
attached) by presenting an electronic V-Pass (QR-code) along with the respective
identity document at the Welcome Center.
Please return to
[email protected] the attached visitor form duly
completed for all members of your delegation by Thursday 23 February 2023 at the
latest.
Everyone then receives a registration confirmation with a personal QR code, which,
together with an ID document, is queried by the security staff at the entrance to the
Berlaymont Welcome Center. A badge will be distributed which will allow access to the
premises.
NB: If visitors arrive at the Berlaymont entrance without a QR code, security staff at the
reception must encode the missing data into the V-PASS. The additional waiting time can
last up to 20 minutes.
Cabinet staff including myself will accompany you to the respective locations: Salle
Robert Schuman / Salle Jean Rey (listening room).
NB: In order not to lose sight of you, please wait at the table next to the Berlaymont
reception or nearby until someone comes to pick you up.
Access to the Berlaymont esplanade via the entrance on the Bld Charlemagne/Rue
Stevin side:
If you are driving and require parking, we can reserve a space for you on the
Berlaymont Esplanade, subject to availability.
In this case, the following additional information to include in your response is required:
- the name of the driver, date of birth, nationality, ID number and expiry date;
- model and colour of the car + the license plate.
If it can be arranged, it would be advisable to be at the Berlaymont entrance with your
delegation 20 minutes before the start of the meeting to avoid possible queues at the
entrance.
We look forward to hearing from you and I remain at your disposal for any question that
may arise.
Kind regards,
Claudia
