Complaint about lack of access to documents

We're waiting for Maria Mora to read a recent response and update the status.

Dear European Ombudsman,

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I was requesting documents which contain the following information:

A full history of my request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.asktheeu.org/en/request/rule...

I have filed already the following confirmatory application with regards to my access to documents request 'Rules applicable to the contractors'. I have not received any reply from European Commission, without any explanation, although deadline had expired.
I am filing the present complaint with regards to my access to documents request 'Rules applicable to the contractors' due to longterm silence of European Commission

Yours faithfully,

Maria Mora

Information note on data processing and confidentiality

Data processing

Complaints to the Ombudsman and related correspondence often contain
personal data, such as names, contact details and other information
relating to identifiable individuals.

There are rights and obligations under European law (Regulation
2018/1725)[1] as to how personal data is handled by EU institutions,
including the European Ombudsman. These include an individual’s right to
obtain access to his or her own information held by this Office. To
exercise these rights or to find out more, please contact our
[2]Office or our [3]Data Protection Officer. .

If a person considers that the Ombudsman has not handled his or her
personal data properly, he or she may contact the [4]European Data
Protection Supervisor.

Confidentiality of your complaint and information

Complainants are requested to identify clearly any document or
information that they consider to be confidential immediately on sending
it to the Ombudsman.

Confidentiality can only apply if there would be some adverse effect if
the information were to be disclosed. It might, for example, apply to
financial information, commercially sensitive information or personal
information about a private individual. Confidentiality cannot always be
guaranteed. In particular, if you submit to the Ombudsman documents that
contain the personal data of someone other than yourself, that person
will most likely be able to obtain it from the Ombudsman, exercising
their data protection rights. In any event, you should expect your
complaint and any supporting documents to be shared in full with the
institution or body you are complaining about, so that they can properly
understand it and respond to the Ombudsman.

Dear Euro-Ombudsman,

The amounts of remuneration and expenses are absent in the submitted documents
Please provide full copies containing covered amounts with any subsequent amendments concerning in particular
-hourly prices for services with subsequent updates (articles 4, 5, document no 98/30/IX D1 bxl-med 3 de 3)
-yearly amounts of transport costs resulting from performance of the mandates
-amounts of prices in Annex II of the contract pmo 3/pr2015/012
honorary amounts mentioned in point 5 of mandate no ares(2017)1360233

pursuance of transparency of expenses has the specific goal to ensure that there is public scrutiny of the spending of public funds, that there can be a fully-informed, evidence-based public debate about how such funds are used, and that the public can be confident that public bodies are exercising public power and spending public funds in a responsible and appropriate manner.

the request is designed to permit me and others, including civil society organisations and journalists, to act as public watchdogs.

Yours sincerely,

Maria Mora

Dear Euro-Ombudsman,

In the context of the documents that I have received I am asking for clarification if there are any obstacles to find services of local specialists, instead of concluding the mandate or contract which provide obligation of the Institutions to pay (separately from remuneration for service) 700 EUR extra compensation for traveling time to Ispra outside Brussels ? is it a lump sum for one way traveling ?or does it include also the traveling back? does it take place systematically to travel there and back?

Yours sincerely,

Maria Mora

Dear Ms Mora,

 

I am writing in reply to your e-mail of 16 August 2020, in which you ask
which EU department can address your follow-up questions.

 

Given that your request for access was dealt with by the European
Commission's Office for the Administration and Payment of Individual
Entitlements, you may consider addressing your questions to that
department. In case you so wish, you may find the contact details at the
following link:
[1]https://ec.europa.eu/info/departments/ad....
 

 

You could also address general questions about the EU to Europe Direct. In
case it cannot answer your questions directly, it might redirect you to
the relevant department. You may find more information at the following
link:
