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 incoming or outgoing correspondence (including emails, sent or received) between DG INTPA officials (including the Commissioner and Cabinet members) mentioning the China Ocean Shipping Company COSCO, or one if its subsidiaries, between the 1st of January 2021 and the 31st December 2021.
2) - A list of meetings, including detailed minutes and any other reports of such meetings, in which DG INTPA officials (including the Commissioner and Cabinet members) have been present, concerning the China Ocean Shipping Company COSCO, or one if its subsidiaries, between the 1st of January 2021 and the 31th December 2021.
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.
