Sample letters

Case studies show that not only unfamiliarity with the possibilities of information exchange and the language are a major barrier to requesting information. Therefore, EURIEC has developed standard formats for various written requests for information, which can be used by (administrative) authorities in Belgium and the Netherlands. This allows administrative bodies to send written requests to foreign (administrative) bodies in an accessible and simple manner. The difference in language does not have to form a barrier anymore.
