Dear Economic and Financial Affairs,

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:

A complete of list of all meetings held by any member of your team/staff with churches, religious associations or communities, as well as with philosophical and non-confessional organisations, from 1 January 2014 onwards, specifying the status of the organization (church, religious association or community, philosophical association or non-confessional association).
All documents, including all emails, minutes, reports or other documents received or drawn up before, during or after the meetings, and any other briefing papers related to these meetings.

Dear Madam,

Thank you for your e-mail dated 31/03/2019. We hereby acknowledge receipt of your application for access to documents, which was registered on 02/04/2019 under reference number GestDem 2019/2027.

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 26/04/2019. 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 Madam,

We refer to your letter / e-mail / fax dated 31/03/2019 in which you make a request for access to documents, registered on 02/04/2019 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 26/04/2019.

An extended time limit is needed as in order to retrieve the documents requested, large files have to be examined.

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 21/05/2019.

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

Yours faithfully,

Dear Madam,

We refer to your e-mail dated 31/03/2019 in which you make a request for
access to documents, registered on 02/04/2019 under the above-mentioned
reference number.

You request access to the following documents:

"A complete of list of all meetings held by any member of your team/staff
with churches, religious associations or communities, as well as with
philosophical and non-confessional organisations, from 1 January 2014
onwards, specifying the status of the organization (church, religious
association or community, philosophical association or non-confessional
association).

All documents, including all emails, minutes, reports or other documents
received or drawn up before, during or after the meetings, and any other
briefing papers related to these meetings."

 

We regret to inform you that DG Economic and Financial Affairs does not
hold any documents that would correspond to the description given in your
application.

As specified in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, the right of
access as defined in that regulation applies only to existing documents in
the possession of the institution.

 

Given that no such documents, corresponding to the description given in
your application, are held by DG Economic and Financial Affairs, we are
not in a position to fulfil your request.

 

Please note that, as part of the Commission’s commitment to transparency,
meetings held by Mr Marco Buti, Director General of DG Economic and
Financial Affairs, can be found via the following link:

In accordance with Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, you are
entitled to make a confirmatory application requesting the Commission to
review this position.

Such a confirmatory application should be addressed within 15 working days
upon receipt of this letter to the Secretariat-General of the Commission
at the following address:
