- minutes and other reports of these meetings;
all correspondence (i.e. any emails, correspondence or telephone call notes) between DG JUST (including the Commissioner and the Cabinet) and Facebook or any intermediaries representing its interests.

Dear Justice and Consumers,

Thank you for your reply. I am interested in documents from the 1st of November of 2014 onward.

As to the subject matter, I am not able to specify as the information on these meetings and interactions is not public.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Madam,

We refer to your e-mail dated 18/05/2018 in which you have partially clarified the scope of your request for access to documents, registered 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 11/06/2018.

An extended time limit is needed as in order to retrieve the documents requested, large files have to be examined and part of the documents found may originate from third parties which have been consulted;

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 02/07/2018.

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

Yours faithfully,

JUST ACCESS TO DOCUMENTS TEAM
