Dear Madam,
Subject:
Your application for access to documents – GESTDEM 2022/4119
We refer to your e-mail of 15 July 2022 in which you make a request for access to
documents, registered on 18 July 2022 under the above-mentioned reference number.
You request access to documents related to
- all correspondence, including attachments (i.e. any emails, mail correspondence or
telephone call notes) between DG ENVI, including Commissioner Sinkevičius and his
cabinet and/or officials, and the company Cheniere;
- a list of all meetings and/or calls attended by DG ENVI, including Commissioner
Sinkevičius, any Cabinet Members and/or official, that were attended by Cheniere as
well;
Since your request did not define a specific timeframe, we took, as the time scope of your
request, the period from 1 January 2021 to 18 July 2022.
As such, we regret to inform you that the Commission does not hold any documents that
would correspond to the above description.

defined in that regulation applies only to existing documents in the possession of the
institution.
Commission européenne/Europese Commissie, 1049 Bruxelles/Brussel, BELGIQUE/BELGIË - Tel. +32 22991111
Given that no such documents, corresponding to the scope of your application, are held
by the Commission, the Commission is not in a position to fulfil 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.
