Subject:
Your application for access to documents – EASE/2024/1778
Dear Ms Klammer,
We refer to your request for access to documents submitted through the platform for
electronic access to European Commission documents (EASE) and registered under case
number 2024/1778, through which you requested access to details regarding any
existing cooperation agreements between the European Anti-fraud Office (OLAF) and the
Central Anticorruption Bureau (CBA) in Warsaw, as well as information concerning the
exchange of data between OLAF and the CBA based on such agreements.
On 1 April 2024, your request was assigned to OLAF, which deals with it under
Regulation (EC) No 1049/20011 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council
and Commission documents (hereafter, ‘Regulation 1049/2001’).
We regret to inform you that OLAF does not hold any documents that would correspond
to the description given in your application, since there is currently no Administrative
Cooperation Agreement between OLAF and the CBA.
As specified in Article 2(3) of Regulation 1049/2001, the right of access as defined in that
Regulation applies only to existing documents in the possession of the institution.
Given that OLAF does not hold a document corresponding to the description given in your
application, OLAF is not in a position to fulfil your request.
In accordance with Article 7(2) of Regulation 1049/2001, you are entitled to make a
confirmatory application requesting OLAF to review this position. Pursuant to Article 4 of
Commission Decision 2001/937/EC, ECSC, Euratom, such a confirmatory application
should be addressed within 15 working days upon receipt of this letter to the Director
General of OLAF.
Any confirmatory application to OLAF should be sent to the following address:
Mr Ville ITÄLÄ
Director-General OLAF
