Steel Action Plan lobbying
Dear Secretariat General of the European Commission,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I would like to request access to all documents related to lobbying on the ‘Steel Action Plan’, and similar/ related topics since 1 January 2025. In particular I would like to request:
1. A list of all meetings/ discussions between officials and or Commissioners with lobby organisations where this topic was discussed. This should include targeted consultations and stakeholder workshops/dialogues.
2. Any records, minutes, preparatory briefings, or other notes of these meetings/discussions, including correspondence which set-up, or was follow-up to, these meetings, as well as attendance lists. I would also like to receive full notes of any meetings held, and not just the summary notes proactively published by the Commission.
3. All correspondence since the above date, where this topic was raised, as exchanged between officials and or Commissioners with lobby organisations.
4. I would also like to receive all of the above types of documents as they relate to this topic between member state government(s) and the DG or Commissioners.
5. In addition I would like to receive a list of all studies or impact assessments which the DG has contracted out, or undertaken on, this topic.
Please note that I am tabling similar requests to Grow, Competition, Trade, Energy and Climate. I look forward to receiving the respective documents accordingly.
Yours faithfully,
