Text messages between Sinkevičius and Adema
Dear Environment,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, and Regulation 1367/2006, I am requesting the following information:
All text messages, including WhatsApp-messages related to water quality, manure, renure, farmers, nitrogen, derogation and the National Programme for Rural Areas exchanged between Virginijus Sinkevičius and Piet Adema between the 3rd of October 2022 and the 23rd of August 2024
Since the information might at least partly also concern "activities affecting or likely to affect" the "state of the elements of the environment", I believe Regulation 1367/2006 applies.
Should you encounter any difficulties in interpreting or processing my request, I am ready to discuss ways to clarify or amend it to keep the effort required on your part to the necessary minimum.
Please send me an acknowledgement of receipt for this request, as foreseen by Article 7 (1) of Regulation 1049/2001. I would appreciate it if you could send a list of documents that correspond to my request. Please note I prefer to receive the documents in digital format, not by physical mail. I also kindly request you make and digital files searchable using OCR.
Yours faithfully,
Jan Daalder
