Request for lobby documents & meetings
Dear International Partnerships,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001,I hereby request access to the following:
All documents, including (but not limited to) correspondence (emails and letters) between the DG INTPA and relevant companies/organisations (see below) as well as all documents including recordings, transcripts, minutes, notes, attendance lists with names of organisations, lobbyists and other participants, dates, background papers and meeting conclusions regarding meetings between the DG INTPA and said relevant companies/organisations, from January 1 2019 until June 6 2023.
Relevant companies/organisations include World Business Council for Sustainable Development, FoodDrinkEurope, Tropical Forest Alliance (TFA), European Vegetable Oil and Proteinmeal Industry (FEDIOL), Associação Brasileira das Indústrias de Óleos Vegetais (ABIOVE), The European Feed Manufacturers' Federation (FEFAC), Comité du Commerce des céréales, aliments du bétail, oléagineux, huile d'olive, huiles et graisses et agrofournitures (COCERAL), Comité des organisations professionnelles agricoles-Comité général de la coopération agricole de l'Union européenne (COPA-COGECA), Agri-food Chain Coalition (AFCC), Aceitera General Deheza S.A., Glencore, Bunge, Cargill, Dario Ruivo Lda.
If possible, I prefer you produce the documents on a rolling basis. At no point should the DG's search for (or deliberations concerning) certain documents delay the production of others that the DG has already retrieved and chosen to produce.
If some documents are partially exempted from publication, I wish to have access to a partial release of said documents.
I prefer to receive documents electronically.
Please contact me if any point of this request needs to be clarified,
Thank you for your help,
