DG Energy communications with Shell
Dear Energy,
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:
1) All correspondence, including emails, sent and received since 20/03/2016, between the Commissioner for Energy, his cabinet, his officials, any other representatives of DG Energy, and representatives from Shell.
2) List of meetings, including the meeting’s minutes, since 20/03/2016, between officials and representatives of DG Energy and representatives from Shell.
3) All documentation relating to the meetings between Shell and Director-General, Dominique Ristori, on December 8th 2016 and September 26th 2016. This should include all email correspondence, attendance lists, agendas, background papers, minutes/notes.
4) All documentation relating to the meeting between Shell and Vice-President of the Energy Union, Maroš Šefčovič, on February 27th 2017. This should include all email correspondence, attendance lists, agendas, background papers, minutes/notes.
5) All documentation relating to the meeting between Shell and Bernd Biervert on February 17th 2017. This should include all email correspondence, attendance lists, agendas, background papers, minutes/notes.
6) Details of any representative of Shell’s response to the consultation “Preparation of a new Renewable Energy Directive for the period after 2020”, which closed February 10th 2016.
Could you please produce the documents on a rolling basis. I would prefer the Commission’s search and deliberations concerning particular documents, not delay the production of documents the Commissions has already retrieved and decided 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.
Please confirm having received this application. I look forward to your reply within 15 business days, according to the regulation.
Best regards,
