Frontex reports on climate change
Dear European Border and Coast Guard Agency,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting the following documents:
- all reports – including, but not limited to, research outcomes, briefings, papers, analysis, notes, position papers, background documents, and/or context setters – written, produced and/or commissioned by Frontex on the topic(s) of climate change and/or global warming.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any doubts or question in regards to this request.
Thank you in advance.
Yours faithfully,
Luisa Izuzquiza

Dear Frontex,
Thank you for your e-mail. I'd like to limit time-wise the scope of my request to the relevant documents written, produced and/or commissioned by Frontex during the years 2016, 2017 and 2018.
Please take into account that if Frontex would require from me to further reduce the scope of my request, I would need a list of documents that Frontex holds falling under the scope of my request. To this regard, please also note that the reason behind the broad framing of request is that, in absence of a public register of documents, I can't indicate which documents I'm interested in if I don't know which - or if - documents exist.
As per your second request to limit the scope of my request topic-wise, I am interested naturally in the interesection between global warming (also known as climate change) and Frontex's areas of work and expertise. An example would be a study by Frontex on how global warming has affected or will affect European border management or migration patterns to the EU.
Yet again, I must stress that this is only a purely hypothetical example as, in absence of a public register of documents, I do not know what kind of research - if any, and in what form - Frontex produces on this subject.
Thank you in advance.
Yours sincerely,
Luisa Izuzquiza
