Yara meeting records
Dear Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs,
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 17 Oct 2024 Location Brussels
Subject Discussion with Yara International CEO Svein Tore Holsether on decarbonization of fertilizers, food & shipping.
DG Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs
Attending
Kerstin Jorna (Director-General)
And similar records of any other meetings between senior DG GROW officials and Yara since 1 August 2024.
In consideration of the environment 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. 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
