Dear Mr McLaren,
I am writing in reply to your request for public access of 23 August 2024
submitted via the online platform [5]asktheeu. You sought public access to
“information on any meetings held or correspondence between DG SANTE and
the EU Ombudsman relating to tobacco policy, in the 30 days leading up to
and including the 28th June 2024.”
We registered your request on the same day under the reference
Ares(2024)6009267.
I am sorry to have to inform you that the Ombudsman is unable to process
your request at this stage. This is because, in accordance with Article
2(1) of Regulation 1049/2001,[6][1] only EU citizens or natural or legal
persons residing or having their registered office in an EU Member State
have the benefit of the right of public access to EU documents. From the
information provided, it appears that you do not meet these criteria.
In light of the above, we have closed your request.
You may provide evidence that you meet the criteria above and we will then
register and process your new request. You can do so by sending an email
to [7][European Ombudsman request email].
We appreciate this may not be your desired outcome, but I hope you find
the information above helpful.
Thank you for having contacted the European Ombudsman.
Sincerely,
Tereza Mandjukova
