Meeting with BusinessEurope CEOs
From: Belen Balanya, Corporate Europe Observatory
Rue d’Edimbourg 26, 1050 Brussels.
30 November 2021 RE: Access to minutes meeting with BusinessEurope
Dear Secretariat General,
Referring to Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 on public access to EU documents, I would herewith like to ask for access to the following:
Minutes of the meeting held on 9 November 2021 at the Berlaymont Commission headquarters between BusinessEurope President Pierre Gattaz, Director General Markus J. Beyrer and 23 business leaders from BusinessEurope Advisory and Support Group with EU representatives including Vice-President Dombrovskis, European Commissioners Mairead McGuinness, Kadri Simson and Thierry Breton and the Head of Cabinet of Vice-President Frans Timmermans, Diederik Samsom.
To the extent possible, we prefer the documents in electronic format. Documents that cannot be sent in electronic format should be sent to Corporate Europe Observatory, Rue d’Edimbourg 26, 1050 Brussels.
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.
I reserve the right to appeal.
Please confirm having received this application. I look forward to your reply within 15 business days, according to the regulation.
Thank you for your assistance.

Dear Madam,
Thank you for your e-mail of 30 November 2021. We hereby acknowledge
receipt of your application for access to documents, which was registered
on 01/12/2021 and attributed among the following DGs under reference
numbers GESTDEM:
- 2021/7491 – DG FISMA,
- 2021/7492 – DG ENER,
- 2021/7493 – DG GROW,
- 2021/7494 – SG.D.3,
- 2021/7495 – SG.D.2.
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to
European Parliament, Council and Commission documents, your application
will be handled within 15 working days.
The time limit will expire on 22 December 2021. In case this time limit
needs to be extended, you will be informed in due course.
You have lodged your application via a private third-party website, which
has no link with any institution of the European Union.
Therefore, the European Commission cannot be held accountable for any
technical issues or problems linked to the use of this system.
Please note that the private third party running the AsktheEU.org website
is responsible and accountable for the processing of your personal data
via that website, and not the Commission.
For further information on your rights, please refer to the third party’s
privacy policy.
We understand that the third party running the AsktheEU.org website
usually publishes the content of applicants’ correspondence with the
Commission on that website. This includes the personal data that you may
have communicated to the Commission (e.g. your private postal address).
Similarly, the third party publishes on that website any reply that the
Commission will send to the email address of the applicants generated by
the AsktheEU.org website.
If you do not wish that your correspondence with the Commission is
published on a private third-party website such as AsktheEU.org, you can
provide us with an alternative, private e-mail address for further
correspondence. In that case, the Commission will send all future
electronic correspondence addressed to you only to that private address,
and it will use only that private address to reply to your request. You
should still remain responsible to inform the private third-party website
about this change of how you wish to communicate with, and receive a reply
from, the Commission.

Yours faithfully,
