Dear Secretariat General of the European Commission,

Concerning your reply to my request 2023/1853, I can confirm that I received a number of Commission documents relating to this request. However, there appeared to be some documents missing.

Specifically, in your reply letter you identified and named 53 documents, but in the 'List of identified documents' that you included (as a separate doc), several documents that are identified in the reply letter are missing, for example:
32. Ares(2023)1612124 CCE - Critical Raw Materials - Consolidated Recommendations_Redacted
35. ARES(2023)1637536 Sanofi contribution to CRMA_to Mr Whelan.pdf
39. Ares(2023)2444009 Minutes for meeting with EUMICON 15 November 2022.pdf
42. Ares(2023)306257 2023-01-13 European Aluminium Letter Commissioners on IRA_Redacted.pdf
52. email Ares(2023)1612124 CCE RECOMMENDATIONS ON CRITICAL RAW MATERIALS ACT_Redacted.pdf

It is unclear to me why this is the case, and I would appreciate an explanation for this discrepancy, if it is deliberate, and the immediate release of the missing documents, if it is an error.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Yours faithfully,

Myriam Douo

SG UNITE D-1, Secretariat General of the European Commission

The missing documents were included in the initial reply as also indicated in the reply letter. However it seems that the transmission was prevented due to a technical error.

Attached are the listed documents that you have identified as missing. If you encounter any problems in receiving the remaining of the documents, please let us know and we will resend them again.

Best regards,
