2021/2236
Dear Mr Augusto,
We refer to your message dated 22/03/2021 in which you make a request for access to
documents, registered under the above-mentioned reference number.
Please note that due to the wide scope of your request, covering also areas falling under the
responsibility of other services, parts of your request have been attributed to other services.
This reply relates only to the documents held by the Secretariat-General regarding a meeting
with Vice-President Šefčovič on 7 October 2020. You will receive the replies from the
other respective services in due course.
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 15/04/2021. An extended time limit is needed as the application
concerns documents that originate from several Commission services and from external
parties, which need to 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 06/05/2021.
