Dear Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs,
In your letter of October 15th 2019 you wrote that that was a first reply and that I would get second one after consultations with third parties. Since than I have not received any further notices.
Can I still expect a second reply, and if so, do you have an expected time?
