In a restaurant in Brussels. At the next table, two people discussed an upcoming minister-level EU meeting. One person was in charge (or at least had influence on) the meeting agenda, and was urged by the other person to drop a particular item off that list. They argued about possible excuses for not having this item on the meetings agenda, until the bureaucrat agreed, and the lobbyist handed him an envelope.
