RE: Access to Documents re hydrogen South Africa
Dear European External Action Service ,
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 with 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 with 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.
Thank you in advance.

Dear Mrs Belen Balanya,
Your application is currently being handled.
However, we are not in a position to complete the handling of your application within the time limit of 15 working days.
We therefore, exceptionally, need to extend the deadline for reply by an additional 15 working days. Please note that the calculation of the deadline takes into account the public holidays followed by the EU institutions and not those of individual countries.
Thank you for your understanding.
Yours sincerely,
EEAS ACCESS TO DOCUMENTS
