Dear Madam,

Thank you for your e-mail dated 25 February 2020. We hereby acknowledge receipt of your application for access to documents, which was registered on 26 February 2020 under reference number GestDem 2020/1119.

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 18 March 2020. In case this time limit needs to be extended, you will be informed in due course.

You have lodged your application via the AsktheEU.org website. Please note that this is 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 European Commission. For further information on your rights, please refer to the third party’s privacy policy.

We understand that the third party running that website usually publishes the content of applicants’ correspondence with the European Commission on that website. This includes the personal data that you may have communicated to the European 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 your correspondence with the European Commission to be published on the AsktheEU.org website, you can provide us with an alternative, private e-mail address for further correspondence. In that case, the European Commission will send all future electronic correspondence addressed to you only to that private address.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Ms Eberhardt,

We refer to your application dated 25/02/2020 in which you make a request
for access to documents, registered under the above mentioned reference
number.

Your application is currently being handled. The 15 working-days time
limit for the handling of your application expires today.

However, an extended time limit is needed for the purpose of internal

public access to documents. The new time limit expires on 08/04/2020.

We apologise for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Ms Eberhardt,

 

Please find attached the reply to your request for access to documents,
registered under reference GestDem 2020/1119, along with its attachment.

 

According to standard operational procedure, the reply is usually also
sent to you by registered post. Please note, however, that due to the
extraordinary health and security measures currently in force during to
the COVID-19 epidemics, which include the requirement for all Commission
non-critical staff to telework, we are unfortunately not in a position to
follow this procedure until further notice.

 

We would therefore appreciate if you could confirm receipt of the present
