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 documents related to the WindEurope and Azerbaijan COP29 event in Brussels on 2 July, at which Director-General Kurt Vandenberghe was a speaker.

This includes but is not limited to:

- All correspondence between the Director General and/or their staff and the organisers of the event or other participants (EU Commission, industry, Azerbaijan government officials);

- All preparatory documents that were provided to the Director General and/or their staff before the event, including an agenda, speaker list, background note, a briefing, his speech. This includes documents provided by the event organisers and EU Commission staff;

- All follow-up documents, including minutes, notes (hand written or electronic), audio or video recordings, verbatim reports, operational conclusions, read-outs, presentations, action points and any other correspondence between the Director General and/or their staff and the organisers of the event, or other participants.

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.

Should my request be denied wholly or partially, please explain the denial or all deletions referring to specific exemptions in the regulation. Also I would expect the partial release of documents in case of partial exemption according to article 4.6. I reserve the right to appeal.

Please confirm having received this application. I look forward to your reply within 15 business days, according to the regulation.

Yours faithfully,
