Contacts between ENER and AngloAmerican, BHP Billton and/or Glencore Xstrata
Dear Energy (ENER),
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents (including notes of minutes, emails and other correspondence) relating to contacts between DG ENERGY and AngloAmerican, BHP Billton and/or Glencore Xstrata, concerning policy areas connected to climate, energy, emissions or resource policies, in the last 18 months (since April 2013).
Yours faithfully,
Rachel Tansey
Dear Mrs Tansey,
Thank you for your request for access to documents. Unfortunately you have not indicated your postal address that is required for registering and handling your request in line with the procedural requirements. Please send us your full postal address at your earliest convenience. Pending your reply, we reserve the right to refuse the registration of your request.

I have contacted DG ENER with my postal address, and noted that whilst I have made many access to documents requests before, this is the first time I have been required to give my postal address.
Since procedural requirements are cited as the reason for this, I have also asked if either the legal basis or procedural requirements have recently changed.
I have consulted the EC's "ACCESS TO EUROPEAN COMMISSION DOCUMENTS: A CITIZEN'S GUIDE" (http://ec.europa.eu/transparency/citguid...) and note that it states only that when making a request, "One of these three elements [address, fax, email address) must be filled in to enable the document requested to be sent" (p.12 footnote [1]).
