- Decision(s) EIR 12.4.e: Not upheld
The complainant requested communications within the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) and communications between DECC and other government departments concerning proposals for a new Europe-wide renewable energy target for 2030. DECC refused to disclose this information and cited the exception provided by regulation 12(4)(e) (internal communications). The Commissioner’s decision is that DECC applied this exception correctly and so it is not required to disclose this information.
