Your application for access to documents – Ref GestDem No 2016/1424
Dear Sir,
We refer to your e-mail dated 21/03/2016 in which you make a request for access to
documents, registered on 21/03/2016 under the above mentioned reference number.
We regret to inform you that no documents were found that would correspond to the
description given in your application.
Indeed, as specified in Article 2(3) of Regulation 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 have been identified, the Commission is not in a position
to handle your request.
In accordance with Article 7(2) of Regulation 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 Secretary-General of the Commission at the following address:
European Commission
