I request a review of their refusal to allow me access to information from a third party. "Please find attached document Ares(2016)3619338 regarding "refusal - access to documents – Ref GestDem No 2016/3147" sent by Mr/Ms PARIAT Monique on 19/07/2016." I wish to communicate publicly through ASK THE EU not through private email. Yours faithfully, Farashah -----Original Message----- Dear Madam, dear Sir, We refer to your request dated 14/06/2016 in which you make a request for access to documents, registered on 14/06/2016 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 5/07/2016. An extended time limit is needed as the documents requested 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 27/07/2016. We apologize for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause.
