Dear Sir,
Subject:
Your application for access to documents - Ref GestDem N° 2014/1639
Proposal for a fair Solution under Article 6(3) of the Regulation
We refer to your e-mail dated 20 March 2014 in which you make a request for access to
"
all documents/correspondence related to EU funding provided to the NGO Eurochild",
registered on 26 March 2014 under the above mentioned reference number.
Your application concerns a very large number of documents, which need to be assessed
individually. Such a detailed analysis cannot be carried out within the normal time limits set
out in Article 7 of Regulation 1049/2001.
In this light, we propose to find a fair solution together with you on the scope of the
request, in the sense of Article 6 (3) of Regulation which provides that "
in the event of an
application relating to a very long document or to very large number of documents, the
institution concerned may confer with the applicant informally, with a view to finding a
fair solution".
Based on this provision, we would kindly ask you whether you could narrow down the
scope of your request, so as to reduce it to a more manageable amount of documents. We
propose to send you the grant agreements between the European Commission (DG EMPL)
and Eurochild for the years concerned.
If you have any questions concerning this proposal, you can contact us:
• by email to
: xxxxxxxxxxxx@xx.xxxxxx.xx
• by telephone to: (+32) 229-98929
Thank you in advance for your understanding.
Yours faithfully,
Lieve FRANSEN
