Die Anfrage war erfolgreich.

Dear Secretariat General of the European Commission,

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents relating to the Interinstitutional Committee on access to documents mandated by Article 15 of Regulation 1049/2001, which requires that “2. The institutions shall establish an interinstitutional committee to examine best practice, address possible conflicts and discuss future developments on public access to documents.”

By way of background, I have found some early references to this Committee, in particular here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/... where I see it reported that the Committee met in March, April and July 2002. This is confirmed in this document from the European Parliament website: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/c...

I note that the European Ombudsman, in a complaint taken by Access Info Europe relating to the Commission’s use of postal addresses, urged that the Commission discuss this matter in the Interinstitutional Committee, see the Conclusions in this decision from 19 December 2017: https://www.ombudsman.europa.eu/en/decis....

I have found a reference in the European Parliament Rules of Procedure, Article 122, as up dated on 15 January 2021, where it is confirmed that the “Conference of Presidents shall designate Parliament's representatives on the interinstitutional committee established pursuant to Article 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001.” See here: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/doc...

I have not been able to find other relevant documents in searches in the registers of the Council, Commission and Parliament, nor in searching on the internet; if more documents exist they are not easy to locate.

I therefore request copies of all documents in your possession relating to this Interinstitutional Committee from the period of the past 20 years since Regulation 1049/2001 was adopted. Given that it seems there were few meetings, this should not amount to many documents. Should the volume of documents that you hold be voluminous, I would be happy to discuss narrowing the scope of my request to key documents. You can contact me via the AsktheEU.org website or I can provide my telephone number in order to discuss this request.

I note that I am sending an identical request to the Council and the Parliament.

I also note that the Access Info postal address remains the one that you have on file.

Yours faithfully,

Helen

Dear Madam,

We hereby acknowledge receipt of your application for access to documents,
which was registered on 01/09/2021 under reference number GESTDEM
2021/5307.

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to
European Parliament, Council and Commission documents, your application
will be handled within 15 working days.

The time limit will expire on 22/09/2021. In case this time limit needs to
be extended, you will be informed in due course.

You have lodged your application via a private third-party website, which
has no link with any institution of the European Union.
Therefore, the European Commission cannot be held accountable for any
technical issues or problems linked to the use of this system.

Please note that the private third party running the AsktheEU.org website
is responsible and accountable for the processing of your personal data
via that website, and not the Commission.
For further information on your rights, please refer to the third party’s
privacy policy.

We understand that the third party running the AsktheEU.org website
usually publishes the content of applicants’ correspondence with the
Commission on that website. This includes the personal data that you may
have communicated to the Commission (e.g. your private postal address).

Similarly, the third party publishes on that website any reply that the
Commission will send to the email address of the applicants generated by
the AsktheEU.org website.

If you do not wish that your correspondence with the Commission is
published on a private third-party website such as AsktheEU.org, you can
provide us with an alternative, private e-mail address for further
correspondence. In that case, the Commission will send all future
electronic correspondence addressed to you only to that private address,
and it will use only that private address to reply to your request. You
should still remain responsible to inform the private third-party website
about this change of how you wish to communicate with, and receive a reply
from, the Commission.

Dear Ms Darbishire,

I refer to your request dated 1/09/2021, registered on the same date, in
