DG Growth communications with Shell
Dear Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs,
Referring to Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 on public access to EU documents, I would like to request access to the following:
1) All correspondence, including emails, since 20/03/2016, between the Commissioner for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs, her cabinet, her officials, any other representatives of DG Growth, and representatives from Shell.
2) List of meetings, including the meeting’s minutes, since 20/03/2016, between officials and representatives of DG Growth and representatives from Shell.
3) All documentation relating to the meeting between Shell and Grzegorz Radziejewski on June 30th 2016. This should include all email correspondence, attendance lists, agendas, background papers, minutes/notes.
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.
Yours faithfully,
Thomas O'Neill
