Dear 

Many thanks for your message. I welcome the ENTSO G decision to perform 
an update of the Summer  
Outlook, and your kind offer to give us an early picture of its results. 
We will get back to you shortly  
regarding a date for a meeting between the Commissioner and President 
Hoevers. 
With best regards, 
Stefano

Subject: RE: After the EC-ENTSOG meeting on storage situation 
 
Dear Stefano, 
 
Thank you for your message and we remain ready and available to assist. 
 
We are monitoring the situation and we've been in touch with ENTSOG 
President Bart Jan Hoevers who  
is vitally interested in the topic. 
 

We will follow the EU storage level but also some specific cases, as the 
situation may differ locally. We  
observe that the media and analysts underline how unusual (critical) the 
situation can be in some  
countries/regions, even if at EU level the situation doesn't look so 
critical. 
 
Therefore to give a comprehensive picture, ENTSOG will perform an update 
of the Summer Outlook to  
see, with the current situation, whether the 80% target (historical low) 
can be achieved for all storages  
by 1 October or 1 November. We may also investigate whether the 90% 
target can be achieved, if  
relevant. 
 
This will give us information on what level is achievable in each country 
individually and we will be able  
to compare with history. 
 
Given the short notice, no report will be produced, but bullet points, 
charts, maps and conclusions will  
be circulated in a ppt format. I will make sure that you receive this 
information from ENTSOG. 
 
Attached you can find a letter that we sent to your cabinet few days ago 
with the meeting proposal  
between Mr Hoevers and Madame Commissioner. We would be grateful for the 
information if such a  
meeting could be established and what agenda items you could have in 
mind. 
Looking forward to hear from you, Stefano, 
 
With best regards,
