Meetings between Commission and Euromines
Access Info Europe made this access to documents request to Environment
Dear Environment,
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:
All documents relating to meetings and contacts between representatives of Euromines (the European Association of Mining Industries, Metal Ores and Industrial Minerals) and officials, staff members, cabinets of Commissioners, Commissioners, or representatives of the European Commission during the period from 1 January 2021 to the date this request is processed.
This request includes, but is not limited to:
- Agendas for meetings;
- Lists of participants and attendees;
- Meeting invitations;
- Briefing notes, background notes, speaking points, and preparatory documents;
- Minutes, summaries, records of meetings, notes, reports, and outcomes of proceedings;
- Presentations, handouts, and documents distributed during meetings;
- Correspondence between the European Commission and Euromines, including emails, letters, messages, and all attachments;
- Internal correspondence within the Commission discussing meetings, contacts, communications, or policy input from Euromines;
- Any records identifying meetings or contacts with Euromines that were registered in transparency or stakeholder engagement systems.
If parts of the requested documents are subject to any of the exceptions to the right of access, I request that partial access be granted to those parts that are not subject to any such exception, with only the exempt information redacted.
If this request is considered too broad, I would be grateful if you could assist in identifying a reasonable scope pursuant to Regulation 1049/2001.
Please provide the documents electronically.
Yours faithfully,
