Delegated acts on taxonomy

La demande est partiellement réussie.

o DG FISMA,

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) a list of meetings that address delegated acts to implement the taxonomy regulation (from 1. September 2020 till present day) of Commissioner Dombrovskis and members of her cabinet or representatives of DG FISMA AND representatives of industry groups from the financial sector or the energy sector (production and distribution).

2) minutes and other reports of these meetings;

3) all correspondence with entities listed above on the taxonomy regulation, including emails from 1. September 2020 till present day).

In case my description is not sufficiently precise, I hereby would like to ask you to assist me in further clarifying the application according to regulation 1049/01 article 6.2.

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.

Please confirm having received this application. I look forward to your reply within 15 working days, according to the regulation.

Yours faithfully,

Kenneth Haar

Dear Sir,

We hereby acknowledge receipt of your application for access to documents,
which was registered on 29 January 2021 under reference number GESTDEM
2021/540.

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to
European Parliament, Council and Commission documents, your application
will be handled within 15 working days.

The time limit will expire on 19 February 2021. In case this time limit
needs to be extended, you will be informed in due course.

You have lodged your application via a private third-party website, which
has no link with any institution of the European Union.
Therefore, the European Commission cannot be held accountable for any
technical issues or problems linked to the use of this system.

Please note that the private third party running the AsktheEU.org website
is responsible and accountable for the processing of your personal data
via that website, and not the Commission.
For further information on your rights, please refer to the third party’s
privacy policy.

We understand that the third party running the AsktheEU.org website
usually publishes the content of applicants’ correspondence with the
Commission on that website. This includes the personal data that you may
have communicated to the Commission (e.g. your private postal address).

Similarly, the third party publishes on that website any reply that the
Commission will send to the email address of the applicants generated by
the AsktheEU.org website.

If you do not wish that your correspondence with the Commission is
published on a private third-party website such as AsktheEU.org, you can
provide us with an alternative, private e-mail address for further
correspondence. In that case, the Commission will send all future
electronic correspondence addressed to you only to that private address,
and it will use only that private address to reply to your request. You
should still remain responsible to inform the private third-party website
about this change of how you wish to communicate with, and receive a reply
from, the Commission.

Dear Mr Haar,

 

We refer to your e-mail of 29 January 2021 in which you make a request for
access to documents, registered on 29 January 2021 under the above
mentioned reference number.

Your application is currently being handled. However, we will not be in a
position to complete the handling of your application within the time
limit of 15 working days, which expires on 19 February 2021.

An extended time limit is needed as the application concerns a large
number of documents.

We would also ask that you clarify the scope of your request: do you refer
to documents involving Executive Vice-President Dombrovskis and members of
his cabinet, those involving Commissioner McGuinness and members or her
cabinet, or both (as well as involving representatives of DG FISMA)?

Therefore, we have to extend the time limit with 15 working days in
accordance with Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding
public access to documents. The new time limit expires on 15 March 2021.

We apologise for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Martin Spolc

Please pass this on to the person who reviews confirmatory applications.

I am filing the following confirmatory application with regards to my access to documents request 'Delegated acts on taxonomy', case ref GESTDEM 2021/540.

The request for documents was first filed on 29 January. Since then, I have received several messages with ex extended deadlines, the last of which expired on 15 March. Furthermore 3 emails to you, prompting you to reply, have not been answered.

That is tantamount to a refusal.

In the hope for a swift reply.

Yours faithfully,
