Dear Ms Douo,

 

I refer to your Access to documents request below registered as  Gestdem

Firstly, as explained by telephone, please note that the PCI selection

Work undertaken in 2016 concerns mostly preparatory aspects. Furthermore,
Friends of the Earth Europe are part of the Regional Groups in charge with
PCI selection and actively participated in the meetings from 2016. We
assume that you have consulted all documents and exchanges that have taken
place with these occasions in this context.

 

In addition to this, please note that, given the nature of your request,
we have had to consult ENTSOG as regards the correspondence and documents
emanating from them. We are still awaiting their reply and will inform you
of the result as soon as possible.

 

Please also note that no correspondence identified as falling within the
scope of your request was identified between Commission representatives,
the  Commissioner  and/or a cabinet member and ENTSOG.

 

In view of the above, please find attached the correspondence identified

Dear Ms Douo,

 

Please be aware that we have received the reply of ENTSOG as regards the
rest of the correspondence identified as falling within the scope of your
request which required their input. They agreed to full disclosure of all
correspondence less the personal data.

 

You will receive several emails in this regard, due to the size of the
documents.

 

Please note that the disclaimers below remain valid for this part of the
documents released.

 

In addition to this ENSOG wished to point out the following aspects as
regards your request:

 

- ENTSOG / DG-ENER cooperation takes place in a frame defined by DG-ENER;

-  TYNDP builds on a strong stakeholder engagement: For TYNDP17, ENTSOG
organized numerous public possibilities for stakeholders to engage:

o   at an early stage of the process: 2 TYNDP workshops + 5 stakeholder
joint working sessions (SJWS) + 1 event in July-16 to present the TYNDP
input data (incl. scenario data) + interaction with project promoters

o   a public TYNDP presentation on 23 January

o   a public consultation on TYNDP17 from 20 Dec to 3 Feb

-          As far as ENTSOG knows, Friends of the Earth have not
participated either to the early stakeholder engagement, or to the TYNDP
publication;

-          Friends of the Earth is welcome to further engage in the TYNDP
stakeholder engagement process.

 

Best regards,
