Subject:
Your confirmatory application for access to documents under
Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 - GESTDEM 2021/0540
Dear Mr Haar,
I refer to your e-mail of 23 April 2021, registered on the same day, in which you submit a
confirmatory
application
in
accordance
with
Article 7(2)
of
Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council
and Commission documents1 (hereafter ‘Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001’).
Your confirmatory application was submitted in relation to your initial application of
29 January 2021 in which you requested, I quote:
‘documents which contain the following information:
1) a list of meetings that address delegated acts to implement the taxonomy regulation
(from 1. September 2020 till present day) of Commissioner Dombrovskis and members
of her cabinet or representatives of DG FISMA AND representatives of industry groups
from the financial sector or the energy sector (production and distribution);
2) minutes and other reports of these meetings;
3) all correspondence with entities listed above on the taxonomy regulation, including
emails from 1. September 2020 till present day.’
1 OJ L 145 of 31.5.2001, p. 43.
Commission européenne/Europese Commissie, 1049 Bruxelles/Brussel, BELGIQUE/BELGIË - Tel. +32 22991111
The initial request was assigned to the Directorate-General for Financial Stability,
Financial Services and Capital Markets Union. As you did not receive an initial reply
from that Directorate-General within the statutory time limits, you submitted a
confirmatory application on 23 April 2021.
In the meantime, the initial reply in question was sent to you on 11 May 2021. In its
reply, the Directorate-General for Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital
Markets Union identified 16 documents and provided you a list with these documents. It
partially disclosed these documents based on the exception laid down in Article 4(1)(b)
(protection of privacy and the integrity of the individual) of Regulation (EC) No
1049/2001.
Against this background, the Secretariat-General will close your confirmatory application
related to the lack of initial reply.
Yours sincerely,
María Oliván Avilés
Head of Unit
