Dear Mobility and Transport,

ear Sir or Madam,

Referring to Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 on public access to EU documents and to the 'Aarhus Convention' I would herewith like to ask for access to the following:

All documents—including but not limited to correspondence, emails, minutes, notes (hand written or electronic), audio or video recordings, verbatim reports, operational conclusions, lines to take, briefings, and presentations—related to the following meetings:

Date 23 Nov 2023 Location Brussels
Subject CO2-free shipping fuels and port infrastructure
Cabinet Cabinet of Commissioner Adina Vălean
Portfolio Transport
Roxana Lesovici (Cabinet member)

And similar records of any other meetings between senior DG transport officials and Yara since 23 November 2023.

In consideration of the environment and the current circumstances with the COVID pandemic I would prefer to receive documents electronically.

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.

If anything is unclear or would benefit from further discussion please do not hesitate to contact me by email or on +44 7525 592 738. My address for any written correspondence necessary is Barnaby Pace, Avenue Paul Deschanel 53, Schaerbeek 1030, Bruxelles, Belgique.

Thank you for your assistance.

Yours sincerely
Barnaby Pace

Dear Mr Pace,

We are writing concerning your request for access to Commission documents
registered on 05 February 2025 under case number 2025/0613.

We are currently working on your request. However, we have not yet been
able to gather all the elements necessary to carry out a full analysis of
your request. We will not be able to send you the reply within the
prescribed time limit expiring on 26 February2025, given that part of the
documents requested originate from third parties, which have been
consulted.

Therefore, in line with Article 7(3) of [1]Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001,
we need to extend this time limit by 15 additional working days. The new
time limit expires on 19 March 2025.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Kind regards,

MOVE D1 Secretariat.
