Any correspondence - including (but not limited to) email correspondence, attachments shared via email, presentations, meeting minutes, agendas and briefings - between members department and Ammonia Europe (transparency registration number 255318194242-02).
I would like to receive this information electronically.
I kindly ask you to not redact any name of professional lobbyists and the organisations and companies they work, as such data cannot be considered personal data under Regulations 1049/2001 on access to documents and 45/2001 on data protection.

If anything is unclear or would benefit from further discussion please do not hesitate to contact me.

The information that you have provided so far is not sufficient to establish whether you fulfil this eligibility condition:
- If you are an EU citizen living outside the EU and have submitted your application in your personal capacity, please confirm this by responding to this email.
