15 June 2021 RE: Access to Documents related to Hydrogen4EU

Dear DG energy, DG Clima, DG Grow, Secretariat General,

Referring to Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 on public access to EU documents, I would herewith like to ask for access to the following:

1- all correspondence (including email) between 15 April 2021 and 15 June 2021 between Commissioner Simson, Commissioner Timmermans, Commissioner Breton, President van der Leyen and/or their cabinets and/or officials from DG Energy, DG Clima, DG Grow, Secretariat General on one side and representatives of Hydrogen4EU on the other.

2 - list of meetings/videocalls/calls between 15 April 2021 and 15 June 2021 between Commissioner Simson, Commissioner Timmermans, Commissioner Breton, President van der Leyen and/or their cabinets and/or officials from DG Energy, DG Clima, DG Grow, Secretariat General on one side and representatives of Hydrogen4EU on the other.

3 - minutes of the meetings/videocalls/calls mentioned above

I would like to make clear I prefer you produce the documents on a rolling basis.
At no point should the Commission’s search for—or deliberations concerning—certain documents delay the production of others that the Commission has already retrieved and elected to produce.

To the extent possible, we prefer the documents in electronic format. Documents that cannot be sent in electronic format should be sent to Corporate Europe Observatory, Rue d’Edimbourg 26, 1050 Brussels.

Should my request be denied wholly or partially, please explain the denial or all deletions referring to specific exemptions in the regulation. Also I expect the partial release of documents, in case of partial exemption according to article 4.6.

I reserve the right to appeal.

Please confirm having received this application. I look forward to your reply within 15 business days, according to the regulation.

Thank you for your assistance.
