Meetings with fertilizer industry
Dear DG Clima ,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting:
Any documents related to the following meetings, including (but not limited to) email correspondence, attachments shared before or after the meeting, presentations, minutes, agendas, briefings and lists of attendees.
- Representatives of Yara and Daniel Mes, Cabinet member of Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra on 23 February 2024 in Sluiskil
-All meetings with ‘Ammonia Europe’ since January 1st 2024
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, I would prefer the documents in electronic format but if that is not possible please use the following postal address:
DeSmog UK
5 Brayford Square
London, E1 0SG
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.
I look forward to your reply within 15 business days, according to the regulation.
Yours faithfully,
Agathe Bounfour
Dear Ms Bounfour,
Thank you for your email.
Please note that a similar request about the meeting on 23.02.2024 has been recently submitted by one of your colleagues in DeSmog UK and documents have been provided.
Regarding the request about Ammonia Europe, the same colleague of yours submitted an identical request, which we already handled in a recent case by another applicant and whose documents you can find in our Commission repository: https://ec.europa.eu/transparency/docume...
Before submitting a new request to the European Commission, we invite you to check beforehand in our repository if the documents of your interest have been already disclosed or not.
Thank you for your cooperation,
CLIMA Access to documents Team
Cher [email address],
J'ai fait une recherche à partir de mots clefs (Ammonia Europe et aussi DG CLIMA) sur le Commission repository et aucun résultat n'apparait.
Pourriez-vous s'il vous plait me transmettre un lien précis pour ce cas ou une référence de dossier?
En vous remerciant par avance,
Je vous prie de croire, Monsieur/Madame, à l'assurance de mes salutations distinguées,
Agathe Bounfour
