Dear Ms Eberhardt,
We refer to your request for access to documents, registered on 09/01/2025
under the above mentioned reference number.
Your application is currently being handled. However, we couldn’t to
complete the handling of your application within the time limit of 15
working days, which expired on 30/01/2025.
An extended time limit is needed as in order to retrieve the documents
requested, large files have to be examined.
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 20/02/2025.
We apologize for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Ms Eberhardt,
We refer to your e-mail dated 08/01/2025 in which you make a request for
access to documents, registered under the above-mentioned reference
number.
The description given in your application does not enable us to identify
concrete documents which would correspond to your request. The event on
4/12/2023 in which ETQ and KKR participated (amongst others), was not a
meeting but a roundtable on investment in digital/telecom infrastructures.
We therefore invite you, pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No
1049/2001 regarding public access to documents, to provide us with more
detailed information (subject(s), communications between which parties,
etc.) and the type of documents that you seek to obtain.
If you need assistance in clarifying or specifying your application,
please let us know.
In accordance with Article 2, third paragraph of the Implementing Rules to
Regulation 1049/2001, the 15 working days time limit for handling your
application will start running when we receive the requested
clarifications.
Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Sehr GROW ATD team,
thank you very much for your response and the clarification.
I would appreciate if you could apply my request to the roundtable, so send me all documentation (including but not limited to all email correspondence, attendance lists, agendas, background papers, transcripts and recordings) AND the meeting minutes/notes relating to the roundtable.
Thank you and kind regards,
Pia Eberhardt
Many thanks for your email.
We take note of your clarification. I would just like to ask you if the documents you seek from the roundtable are still about KKR and EQT or the roundtable in general.
Thank you in advance,
GROW ATD team
Dear Grow ATD team,
thank you for your message and the clarification question.
I am mainly interested in the lobby contacts of KKR and EQT, but imagine that it could make sense to have context to make sense of the relvant information, so I would like to request:
* minutes and other reports of the full roundtable
* internal Commission briefing for the roundtable in full
* any surrounding communication only with KKR and EQT (not other participants of the roundtable)
I hope this makes sense.
Friendly greetings,
Pia Eberhardt
