Clima - biofuels
Dear Climate Action,
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:
For the period between 01/01/2025 to date:
1. A list of all meetings and/or calls between the Directorate-General for Climate Action and the energy company Eni Spa, including any Cabinet Members and/or officials, during which biofuels and/or low-carbon fuels, recycled carbon fuels, and renewable fuels were mentioned
The list should include: date, individuals attending and organisational affiliation, as well as the issues discussed;
- all minutes and other reports of these meetings and/or calls;
- all documents prepared for the purpose of the meetings issued both in preparation and after the meetings took place.
- all correspondence, including attachments (i.e. any emails, mail correspondence or telephone call notes) between the Directorate-General for Climate Action, including any Cabinet Members and/or officials, and Eni discussing biofuels and/or low-carbon fuels, recycled carbon fuels, and renewable fuels
2. all documents sent by Eni to the DG Climate Action related to their biofuels and/or low-carbon fuels, recycled carbon fuels, and renewable fuels projects
To the extent possible, I prefer documents in electronic format.
Should my request be denied wholly or partially, I kindly request to explain the denial or all redactions referring to specific exemptions in the regulation. Also, I would expect the partial release of documents, in case of partial exemption according to article 4.6.
Please confirm receipt of this application. I look forward to receiving your reply within 15 business days, as established by the regulation.
Yours faithfully,
