Subject: 
Your application for access to documents 
Reference: 
GestDem N° 2014/276 
Dear Sir, 
We refer to your e-mail 17th January 2014, in which you make a request for access to 
documents, registered on the same date 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 7th February 2014. 
An extended time limit is needed as, following a preliminary assessment, your 
application appears to cover a very long document and its annexes, parts of which may 
priori
 be subject to one or more of the exceptions foreseen in Article 4 of Regulation 
(EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to documents. The possible applicability of 
these exceptions to such a long document requires an in-depth analysis.  
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 28th February 2014
We apologise for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause.  
Yours faithfully, 
E-Signed 
Santiago DEL PINO
