Dear Ms Sumner,
Subject: Your application for access to documents – Ref GestDem 2020/4321
We refer to your email dated 15 July 2020 in which you make a request for access to
documents, registered on 15 July 2020 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
expires on 6 August 2020.
An extended time limit is needed as the application concerns documents held by different
Services within the Commission, which must be consulted.
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 27 August 2020.
We apologize for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause.
