Meetings with stakeholders on recovery funds

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Permanent Representation of Spain to the EU should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Permanent Representation of Spain to the EU,

As you have stated that Regulation 1049/2001 does not apply to access to documents requests, I am refiling my request referring to the 'Aarhus Regulation' (see note below). Please provide me with the following:

1) all correspondence (including emails and attachments) between the Permanent Representation of Spain to the EU and stakeholders regarding National Recovery and Resilience Plans and/or Recovery and Resilience Funds up to the present day;

2) a list of all meetings between the Permanent Representation of Spain to the EU and stakeholders regarding National Recovery and Resilience Plans and/or Recovery and Resilience Funds up to the present day;

3) minutes of all meetings listed above.

To the extent possible, I prefer the documents in electronic format. Documents that cannot be sent in electronic format should be sent to the address below.

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.

Yours faithfully,

Pascoe Sabido
