REGISTERED LETTER WITH ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RECEIPT
Subject:
Your application for access to documents – Ref GestDem No
2015/1270. Our reply of 20/04/2015. Your email of 21/04/2015
Dear Ms Cann,
We refer to your e-mail dated 21/04/2015 in which you ask for further information
related to your request for access to documents, registered on 03/02/2015 under the
above mentioned reference number. We have replied to your application and sent you the
available documents on 20/04/2015.
In your e-mail you specifically ask for a clarification on how Commissioner Kroes
replied to the 2013 invitation to attend a lunch.
We regret to inform you that no documents were found that would correspond to your
question. You have already received all the documents available concerning exchanges
between Commissioner Kroes and the Bank of America Merrill Lynch since 1 January
2013.
Indeed, 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 no such documents have been identified, the Commission is not in a position
to handle your request.

In accordance with Article 7(2) of Regulation 1049/2001, you are entitled to make a
confirmatory application requesting the Commission to review this position.

of this letter to the Secretary-General of the Commission at the following address:
