Dear Madam,
Subject:
Your application for access to documents – Ref GestDem No 2019/1240 - Initial
request - EUTF Supported Project - Groupes d'Action Rapides - Surveillance et Intervention au
Sahel We refer to your e-mail dated 05/03/2019
in which you make a request for access to
documents, under the above mentioned reference number.
Your application is currently being handled. However, we will not be in a position to complete the
handling of your application within the time limit of 15 working days, which has expired on
26/03/2019.
An extended time limit is needed as your application concerns a project related to national security in
third countries and therefore it takes time on getting clearance from the different stakeholders.
Therefore, we have to extend the time limit with 15 working days in accordance with Article 7(3) of
Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to documents. The new time limit expires on
21/05/2019.
We apologise for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause.
Yours faithfully,
The EUTF Team
