MidCat 2015 - CLIMA

Climate Action did not have the information requested.

Dear Climate Action,

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 correspondence (including email) between 1st January 2015 and 1st January 2016 between the Commissioner for CLIMA and/or his cabinet and/or officials and representatives of DG CLIMA on one hand and representatives from the gas industry, in which the issue of the MidCat project was addressed.

- list of meetings (between 1st January 2015 and 1st January 2016) between officials and representatives of DG CLIMA on one hand and representatives from the gas industry, in which the issue of the MidCat project was addressed.

- 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 Corporate Europe Observatory, Rue d’Edimbourg 26, 1050 Brussels.

Should my request be denied wholly or partially, please explain the denial or all deletions referring to specific exemptions in the regulation. Also I 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.

Thank you for your assistance.

Belen Balanya
