Schipol flight reduction
Dear Mobility and Transport,
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 documents:
1) minutes and other notes from DG MOVE's meetings (including online meetings) with stakeholders/lobbyists (from March 17 2023 until today) in which the Dutch government’s intention to reduce flights at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport by 20 percent was discussed.
2) all correspondence (including emails and WhatsApp messages) with stakeholders/lobbyists (from March 17 2023 until today) about the Dutch government’s intention to reduce flights at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport by 20 percent was discussed.
There is a clear public interest in the disclosure of these documents. The transparency rules as set out in the Lisbon Treaty oblige the EU institutions to work as openly and as closely as possible to the citizens. There is moreover clearly a lot at stake for citizens in this case, as it concerns the right of public authorities to introduce the strong and ambitious policy measures needed to reduce noise pollution, avoid catastrophic climate change, etc.
Yours faithfully,
Moritz Neujeffski

Dear [email address],
Thank you very much for your reply. In the document "EASE 2023 5011 reply final" you write that: "The documents which you seek to obtain are covered by this exception, as they form part of the administrative file of an ongoing review, engaged by the Commission services under Article 8(3) of Regulation (EU) No 598/2014, following a formal notification submitted by the Dutch authorities, under Article 8(1) of Regulation (EU) No 598/2014, of their intention to introduce noise-related operating restrictions at Schiphol airport."
Could you please send me the reference number of this ongoing review by the European Commission?
