Dear Ms Vermander,
We make reference to your emails dated 26 July 2016 in which you request
several documents in relation to following stakeholders:
* SolarPower Europe
* EWEA (now WindEurope)
* GasNaturally
* EUROGAS
* European Gas Research Group (GERG)
* Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE)
* International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP)
* International Gas Union (IGU)
* Marcogaz
* NGVA Europe
These stakeholders are primarily concerned with subjects that would be
dealt with by the Directorate General for Energy, we would therefore like
to enquire on which subject in relation to Climate Action you are
searching, so that we may better address your request.
Many thanks in advance for your feedback.
Kind regards,
