The list should include: date, individuals attending and organisational affiliation, as well as the issues discussed;

2. all documents sent by the GD4S lobby group to the DG Energy related to their synthetic fuel projects and/or their hydrogen projects.

To the extent possible, I prefer documents in electronic format.

Dear Ms Indiano,

 

We refer to your e-mail of 13 December 2021 in which you make a request
for access to documents, registered on 13 December 2021 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 12
January 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 February
2022.

We apologize for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause.
