Belgian DPA decisions regarding FATCA
Dear Ministry of Finance,
I request access to all memos, communications and documents in the possession or under the control of the Swedish Ministry of Finance related to the following GDPR decisions / cases that occurred in Belgium:
- APD/GBA - 61/2023 / DOS-2021-00068 / https://www.gegevensbeschermingsautorite...
- Court of Appeal of Brussels - 2023/AR/801 / https://www.gegevensbeschermingsautorite...
- APD/GBA - 79/2025 / DOS-2021-00068 / https://www.autoriteprotectiondonnees.be...
Given the principle of consistent application of GDPR and similarities between the Belgian and Swedish FATCA IGAs, there is a reasonable likelihood that these decisions/cases have been the subject of discussion in Sweden.
Yours faithfully,
Nicholas Lee

Dear FI Registrator,
I am also discovering that I am not able to get the correspondence address for this request from the Handlingar platform. To clarify the DPA decisions, these are the decisions that found that the Belgian FATCA IGA is in violation of GDPR, predecessor legislation, and other fundamental rights.
I hope that it will be possible to process this request based on the description and the GPDR decision numbers.
Yours sincerely,
Nicholas Lee
Dear Sir
