Dear Mr Verheecke,

 

We refer to your email of 21/06/2023, in which you make a request for
access to documents, registered on 23/06/2023 under file number
2023/09/IN.

 

Your application is currently being processed. However, we are not able to
complete the processing within the given deadline of 15 working days which
expires on 14/07/2023. It is necessary to extend this period because the
necessary consultation of the various units is taking longer than
anticipated notably due to vacation-related absences. We therefore have to
extend the processing period by 15 working days in accordance with Article
7(3) of Regulation (EC) No. 1049/2001 on public access to documents. The
new deadline ends on 04/08/2023.

 

We apologize for this delay and any inconvenience it may cause.

 

Best regards,

Dear Ms Verheecke,

We refer to your application for access to documents sent by e-mail dated
21/06/2023 and registered on 23/06/2023 under reference number 2023/09/IN.

Your application 

In your e-mail you request access to: 

 1. All documents -including but not limited to e-mails, reports, minutes,
etc. - related to meetings between representatives of the EDA and
external stakeholders on the Critical Raw Materials Act since January
2021.
 2. All correspondence (including emails) between representatives of the
EDA and external stakeholders on the Critical Raw Materials Act since
January 2021.

 

Assessment 

We have conducted an internal search of the documents falling within the
scope of your request and we identified the document below relating to
point 1 of your request:

• The agenda of the 9th Annual High-Level Conference of the European
Innovation Partnership (EIP) on raw materials, including EU-Ukraine
strategic partnership on raw materials and batteries.

The identified document was originated by a third party. In accordance
with Article 4(4) of the Regulation, the Agency consulted the third party
from whom the concerned document originates in view to assess if this can
be disclosed. The third party consulted did not submit objections to the
disclosure of the identified document and, after assessment, the Agency is
pleased to grant access to the identified document, which you will find
attached.

 

No other document associated with your request was found within EDA’s
database. As specified in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001,
the right of access as defined in that regulation applies only to existing
documents in the possession of the institution.

 

Means of redress 

In accordance with Article 7(2) of Regulation 1049/2001, you are entitled
to make a confirmatory application requesting EDA to review its
position.  

Such a confirmatory application should be addressed within 15 working days
upon receipt of this e-mail to the Chief Executive of EDA to the following
email: [1][EDA request email]   

With best regards,
