Dear Madam,
We refer to your application of 07/04/2021 in which you make a request for access to
documents, registered on 08/04/2021 under the above-mentioned reference number.
You ask for minutes from the meetings between Commissioner Johannes Hahn and
Business Europe on 6 May and 29 June 2020, which took place in the form of telephone
calls.
We regret to inform you that the Commission does not hold any documents that would
correspond to the description given in your application.
As specified in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, the right of access as
defined in that regulation applies only to existing documents in the possession of the

your request.
In accordance with Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, you are entitled to make
a confirmatory application requesting the Commission to review this position.
