Annual Reports by EC entities
Dear Internal Audit Service,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:
Having reviewed the European Commission's online databases, certain Commission offices, institutions and entities appear to publish annual reports reviewing their own institutional operations and activity but do not appear to have these published online for wider public access. At least one is known to be releasable to the public but only on receipt of a request, which requires that one knows the document exists in the first place.
The IAS, as part of its duties, is likely to receive copies across the Commission from those entities that do publish annual reports.
Can the IAS please supply a list of those that do so publish an annual report? If not, can it relay the request to a counterpart that can?
My address for hard copy receipt is:
Room 428, 1 Parliament Street, House of Commons, Westminster, United Kingdom, SW1A OAA
Yours faithfully,
Dr Lee Rotherham

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your request dated 17/05/2019. We hereby acknowledge receipt
of your application for access to documents, which was registered on
27/05/2019 under reference number GestDem 2019/3081.

European Parliament, Council and Commission documents, your application
will be handled within 15 working days.
The time limit will expire on 20/06/2019. In case this time limit needs to
be extended, you will be informed in due course.
You have lodged your application via the AsktheEU.org website. Please note
that this is a private third-party website which has no link with any
institution of the European Union. Therefore, the European Commission
cannot be held accountable for any technical issues or problems linked to
the use of this system.
Please note that the private third party running the AsktheEU.org website
is responsible and accountable for the processing of your personal data
via that website, and not the European Commission. For further information

We understand that the third party running that website usually publishes
the content of applicants’ correspondence with the European Commission on
that website. This includes the personal data that you may have
communicated to the European Commission (e.g. your private postal

Similarly, the third party publishes on that website any reply that the
Commission will send to the email address of the applicants generated by
the AsktheEU.org website.
If you do not wish your correspondence with the European Commission to be

Dear Sir,
We refer to your e-mail 17/05/2019 in which you make a request for access
to documents, registered on 27/05/2019 under the above mentioned reference
number.
The description given in your application does not enable us to identify
concrete documents which would correspond to your request.
We are not sure whether you seek to obtain a list of reports or copies of
reports. Regulation 1049/2001 only applies to documents drawn up or
received by an institution and in its possession, so if the annual reports
which you are interested in are not documents drawn up or received by the
European Commission and in its possession, we will not be in a position to
reply to your request. May we invite you to look at the website of the EC
entities you are interested in.
We invite you, pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001
regarding public access to documents, to provide us with more detailed
information on the documents which you seek to obtain, such as references,
dates or periods during which the documents would have been produced,
persons or bodies who drafted the documents etc…Please clarify concretely
which reports you are interested in which you are not able to find on our
website, providing details such as the body which established the annual
report, field of activity, years covered etc.
All public information about the annual reports can be found on the
website of the Commission. For example, for the Secretariat General, we
can refer you to these links where you can make the relevant searches for
the documents you are interested in:
[6]https://ec.europa.eu/info/publications/a...,
[7]https://ec.europa.eu/info/departments/se...,
or
[8]https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-making...
Annual activity reports of the Commission can be found here:
[9]https://ec.europa.eu/info/publications/a...
If you need assistance in clarifying or specifying your application, you
can contact us by email to: [email address]
In accordance with Article 2, third paragraph of the Implementing Rules to
Regulation 1049/2001, the 15 working days time limit for handling your
application will start running when we receive the requested
clarifications.
Thank you in advance for your understanding.
Yours faithfully,
