Correspondence with cement companies on coprocessing
Dear Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs,
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:
1- All correspondence (including email, SMS, private twitter and WhatsApp) since January 2020 between commissioner Thierry Breton, and/or his cabinet and his cabinet's officials with representatives from the cement companies Holcim, Republic Cement, Cemex, Solid Cement Corporation (a subsidiary of Cemex Holdings), or PR companies representing any of these companies, in which "coprocessing/co-processing" "cement kilns" "plastic" "incinerators/incineration" or "waste management" were discussed.
I would like to make clear I prefer you produce the documents on a rolling basis. If the timeline is outside of your time allowance, please shorten to January 2021 if this allows you to return the request in full, or otherwise, a more recent date (please specify in your response).
At no point should the Commission’s search for—or deliberations concerning—certain documents delay the production of others that the Commission has already retrieved and elected to produce.
To the extent possible, I would prefer the documents in electronic format.
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.
My postal address is;
2 Brett Close
London, UK
Please confirm having received this application. I look forward to your reply within 15 business days, according to the regulation.
Yours faithfully,
Jess Staufenberg
