Dear Madam,
Subject:
Your application for access to documents – GESTDEM 2021/8078
We refer to your request of 13 December 2021, registered on 13 December 2021 under
the above mentioned reference number.
You requested access to the documents, for the period between 2019 and now, which
contain the following information:
1. a list of all meetings and/or calls between the Directorate-General for
Environment and the GD4S lobby group, including any Cabinet Members and/or
officials, during which projects on synthetic fuels and/or projects on hydrogen
were discussed;
2. all documents sent by the GD4S lobby group to the DG Environment related to
their synthetic fuel projects and/or their hydrogen projects.
We regret to inform you that DG Environment does not hold any documents that would
correspond to the description given in your application.
As specified in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, the right of access as
defined in that regulation applies only to existing documents in the possession of the
institution.
Given that the Commission holds no such documents, corresponding to the description
given in your application, 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.
Such a confirmatory application should be addressed within 15 working days upon receipt
