Minutes of dialogue mechanism EU-China environment and climate change
Dear European External Action Service,
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:
I am doing research about the emergence and endurance of the EU-China bilateral climate change cooperation.
So far I have found most joint statements made following EU-China summits. However, I am very much interested in the minutes of the dialogue mechanisms as I have yet been able to find these online.
I am mainly looking for final reports (of meetings), minutes, joint statements, press releases and Memoranda of Understanding produced by or concerning these dialogues.
The missing policy dialogues:
1. EU-China Dialogue on the Environment (since June 1992-until now).
2. EU-China Strategic Dialogue (since January 2005 - until now).
3. EU-China Partnership on Climate Change (since 2005-until now)
4. EU-China Science and technology Agreement (from establishment - until now)
5. EU-China Energy working group/conferences (from establishment - until now)
6. Sustainable Development Task Force
Lastly, I am very much interested in the financial details concerning the EU-China development cooperation programme, and would therefore very much appreciate documents concerning the financial contributions made by the EU in this cooperation programme.
Sorry for the lengthy request.
Yours faithfully,
Freek Terberg
