Vice-President Timmermans and NL on the Water Framework Directive
Dear Climate Action,
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 correspondence/communication (letters, emails, text and whatsapp messages, minutes of meetings, etc) between Vice-President of the European Commission Frans Timmermans, and all members of his cabinet, and officials of the Dutch government, specifically, but not exclusively, officials of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management ('ministerie van Infrastructuur en Waterstaat'), relating the Water Framework Directive.
The timeframe of this request entails all documents produced between October 1st, 2017 and July 1st, 2020.
Please let me know if there is any additional information that might further facilitate your research.
Thanks for your efforts.
Kind regards,
Vincent Harmsen

Dear [email address],
Thank you for this confirmation.
Just to be clear: According to EU Regulation (as I understand) the request should be handled within 15 working days. This time limit expires (from today) 05/07/2023. The time period can be extended for an additional 15 working days.
So I can expect the request to be handled within these (legal) terms.
I appreciate your efforts, thank you.
