Lobby meetings/correspondence on Plastics and Circular Economy

The request was partially successful.

Dear Secretariat General of the European Commission,

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:

For the period between 30 May 2018 to date:
- a list of all lobby meetings held by the Secretariat General and/or any Cabinet Member for Better Regulation, Interinstitutional Relations, the Rule of Law and the Charter of Fundamental Rights during which 'single-use plastics' and/or 'the circular economy' were discussed.
The list should include: date, individuals attending and organisational affiliation, as well as the issues discussed;

- all minutes and other reports of these meetings;

- all correspondence, including attachments (i.e. any emails, mail correspondence or telephone call notes) between Secretariat General, including any Cabinet Member for Better Regulation, Interinstitutional Relations, the Rule of Law and the Charter of Fundamental Rights, and any lobby group and/or industry representative discussing 'single-use plastics' and/or 'the circular economy';
- all documents prepared for the purpose of the meeting and/or exchanged during the course of the meeting.

I kindly request a prompt acknowledgement of my request.

Yours faithfully,

Matteo Civillini

detailed information on the documents which you seek to obtain, such as
names of targeted organisations, targeted Commissioners, references, dates

In accordance with Article 2, third paragraph of the Implementing Rules to
Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, the 15 working days time limit for handling

Dear ve_sg.accessdoc (SG),

I believe my request was clear enough, but I will reiterate.

For the period between 30 May 2018 to date, I am requesting a list of all meetings (including minutes, reports and related correspondence of the meetings) and all correspondence (including attachments) between the Secretariat General, including any member of the Cabinet of Mr. Frans Timmermans, and registered lobby groups/individuals/associations on the topics of "single-use plastics" and "circular economy". I can see that previous similar requests were replied to successfully and relevant material was provided.
Finally, as established by relevant legislation, I kindly request you to provide assistance with my request and redirect it to the relevant body if you are unable to respond.

I remain available for any clarification.

Kind regards,

Yours sincerely,

Matteo Civillini
