Dear Environment (ENV),

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:

- list of all meetings relating to the No Net Loss working group and initiative (begun in February 2012) outside of the scheduled working group meetings between the Commissioner for Environment and/or his cabinet and/or officials and/or representatives of DG Environment and representatives from Biotope, Eftec, the Biodiversity Consultancy, IUCN, Forest Trends, BBOP, the Environment Bank Ltd, Eurelectric, Euromines, La Farge, CEFIC, HeidelbergCement, World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), COPACOGECA, MissionMarkets, PrimeSolutions Securities Inc., Birdlife, EIB, European Seaports Organisation, in which the issue of biodiversity, biodiversity offsetting/trading, habitat/environment banking, no net loss, mitigation hierarchy and/or a similar term was addressed;

- minutes and reports of the meetings mentioned above; and

- all correspondence (including email) relating to the No Net Loss working group and initiative (begun in February 2012) between the Commissioner for Environment and/or his cabinet and/or officials and/or representatives of DG Environment and representatives from Biotope, Eftec, the Biodiversity Consultancy, IUCN, Forest Trends, BBOP, the Environment Bank Ltd, Eurelectric, Euromines, La Farge, CEFIC, HeidelbergCement, World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), COPACOGECA, MissionMarkets, PrimeSolutions Securities Inc., Birdlife, EIB, European Seaports Organisation, in which the issue of biodiversity, biodiversity offsetting/trading, habitat/environment banking, no net loss, mitigation hierarchy and/or a similar term was addressed;

I would like to make clear I prefer you produce the documents on a rolling basis. At no point should the Commission's search for—or deliberations concerning—certain documents delay the production of others that the Commission has already retrieved and elected to produce.

Should my request be denied wholly or partially, please explain the denial or all deletions referring to specific exemptions in the regulation. Also I expect the partial release of documents, in case of partial exemption according to article 4.6.

Yours faithfully,

Pascoe Sabido

Dear Environment (ENV),

Please can you inform me of when the requested documents will be ready, as I see that you have exceeded your own time extension.

Yours faithfully,

Pascoe Sabido

Dear Environment (ENV),

I realise that the person dealing with this has been away, but I assume that you have measures in place to ensure that DG ENVI follows the legal procedures in place to meet deadlines on access to documents requests.

Please can you inform me of the status of the request, ensure that it is dealt with as swiftly as possible, and explain why your legal obligations have not been fulfilled.

Yours faithfully,

Pascoe Sabido
