Information on RePowerEU - DG ENER Unit C3
Dear Energy,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:
All documentation (including but not limited to all email correspondence, attendance lists, agendas, background papers, transcripts, recordings and minutes/notes) relating to meetings between the entities listed below and the Commission, including DG ENER Unit C3, on 'REPowerEU: Joint European action for more affordable, secure and sustainable energy' or in preparation for the development of the RePower EU proposal from the last 6 months:
- Companies: Snam, Uniper, Equinor, TotalEnergies, Gazprom, Repsol, BP, Engie, Royal Dutch Shell, Enel, Rosneft, Lukoil, Nornickel, Severstal, and Surgutneftegas.
- Trade Associations: Eurogas, Gas Infrastructure Europe, GasNaturally, Gas Distributors for Sustainability (GD4S), the International Association of International Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP), FuelsEurope, and the Russian Gas Society.
I would prefer you to produce the documents on a rolling basis, rather than waiting until the full response is ready, and I would be pleased to receive an initial list of all documents as soon as possible.
Yours faithfully,
Vivek Parekh

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your e-mail of 16/03/2022. We hereby acknowledge receipt of
your application for access to documents, which was registered on
16/03/2022 under reference number GESTDEM 2022/1515.
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to
European Parliament, Council and Commission documents, your application
will be handled within 15 working days.
The time limit will expire on 06/04/2022. In case this time limit needs to
be extended, you will be informed in due course.
You have lodged your application via a private third-party website, which
has no link with any institution of the European Union.
Therefore, the European Commission cannot be held accountable for any
technical issues or problems linked to the use of this system.
Please note that the private third party running the AsktheEU.org website
is responsible and accountable for the processing of your personal data
via that website, and not the Commission.
For further information on your rights, please refer to the third party’s
privacy policy.
We understand that the third party running the AsktheEU.org website
usually publishes the content of applicants’ correspondence with the
Commission on that website. This includes the personal data that you may
have communicated to the Commission (e.g. your private postal address).
Similarly, the third party publishes on that website any reply that the
Commission will send to the email address of the applicants generated by
the AsktheEU.org website.
If you do not wish that your correspondence with the Commission is
published on a private third-party website such as AsktheEU.org, you can
provide us with an alternative, private e-mail address for further
correspondence. In that case, the Commission will send all future
electronic correspondence addressed to you only to that private address,
and it will use only that private address to reply to your request. You
should still remain responsible to inform the private third-party website
about this change of how you wish to communicate with, and receive a reply
from, the Commission.

Dear Mr Parekh,
We refer to your e-mail of 16 March 2022, in which you make a request for
access to documents, registered on the 16 of March under the above
mentioned reference number. Your application is currently being handled.
However, we will not be in a position to complete the handling of your
application within the time limit of 15 working days, which expired on 06
April 2022.
An extended time limit is needed as the application concerns documents
held by different Services, which must be consulted.
Therefore, we have to extend the time limit with 15 working days in
accordance with Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding
public access to documents. The new time limit expires on 02 May 2022.
We apologize for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause.
Yours faithfully,
