RE: Access to Documents VP Šefčovič re hydrogen South Africa
Dear DG Energy
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 all meetings/ discussions since 1 September 2023 between officials from DG Energy and representatives of Anglo American, ArcelorMittal, Sasol, Enartrag, Linde, Hydrogen de France, FTI, Total, Port of Rotterdam, Vopak, BMW, Siemens and/or Hydrogen Europe (or consultancies working for them), in which the issue of hydrogen (and derivatives and infrastructure) in and/or from South Africa was discussed.
2. Any records, minutes or notes of these meetings/discussions.
3. All correspondence since 1 September 2023 between DG Energy officials and representatives of Anglo American, ArcelorMittal, Sasol, Enartrag, Linde, Hydrogen de France, FTI, Total, Port of Rotterdam, Vopak, BMW, Hydrogen Europe and/or Siemens (or consultancies working for them), in which the issue of hydrogen (and derivatives and infrastructure) in and/or from South Africa was discussed.
To the extent possible, my strong preference is to receive documents in electronic format.
I would also be grateful to receive the documents in batches, as soon as they are identified and available to send.
Please note that I am tabling this request separately to DG ENER, DG INTPA, DG CLIMA and the EEAS. I look forward to receiving the respective documents accordingly.
