Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am contacting you to request information related to the gas market reform as detailed below.
From: Frida Kieninger,
Address: 26, Rue d'Edimbourg, 1050 Bruxelles, Belgium
I would herewith like to ask for access to the following information:
1 - all correspondence (including email) between 1st January 2018 and March 2nd 2020 between the former and/or current Commissioner for Energy and/or his/her Cabinet and/or officials and representatives of DG Energy on one hand and representatives from ENTSO G, ENTSO E, Eurelectric in which the gas market reform or the TEN-E regulation was addressed.
2 - list of meetings between between 1st January 2018 and March 2nd 2020 between the former and/or current Commissioner for Energy and/or his/her Cabinet and/or officials and representatives of DG Energy on one hand and representatives from ENTSO G, ENTSO E, Eurelectric in which the gas market reform or the TEN-E regulation was addressed.
3 - minutes of the meetings mentioned above
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.
To the extent possible, we prefer the documents in electronic format. Documents that cannot be sent in electronic format should be sent to
