Biomass in relation to the new Renewable Energy Directive for the period after 2020
Dear DG 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 documents from January 1st 2015 to date (including emails) between European Commissioner Cañete and Vice-president Šefčovič, members of their Cabinets and other staff members of DG ENERGY; and stakeholders including research institutes, companies, lobby associations, consultancy or law firms, on the topic of biomass in relation to the new renewable energy directive for the period after 2020.
Please exclude from the scope of this request the responses to the public consultation, which I understand will be published anyway (https://ec.europa.eu/energy/en/consultat...).
2. A complete list of meetings held on this issue between European Commissioner Cañete and Vice-president Šefčovič, members of their Cabinets and other staff members of DG ENERGY from January 1st 2015 to date, with the stakeholders as mentioned above, and the full minutes or reports from those meetings, as well as participants lists of those meetings.
I kindly urge you to not apply a rigid interpretation of the clause on commercial secrets.
I look forward to a swift and positive consideration of my request.
Yours faithfully,
Marijke Vermander
