contain the following information:

correspondence (including emails), the list of meetings with
detailed minutes and any other reports of such meetings between DG
Trade's officials (including the Commissioner and his Cabinet
members) and representatives of the following organisations:

Should my request be denied wholly or partially, please explain the
denial or all deletions referring to specific exemptions in the

of partial exemption according to article 4.6.
