we would ask you to provide us this information.

Dear EFSA.public.access.to.documents,

Thanks for your message. I would like to object to the disclosure of my personal data.

Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 does not allow the disclosure of my identity in document requests to third parties. Article 6 (1), sentence 2 of the Regulation states that the applicant is not obliged to state reasons for the application, hence the identity of the applicant is irrelevant to the document request outside of the conditions of Article 2, as the request for identity disclosure by this third party is an attempt to circumvent Article 6 (1).

Article 4.4 gives the Commission the right to consult with a third party, but the third party has no right of veto over the disclosure of documents - that is for the Commission to decide according to the exceptions in Regulation 1049/2001.

Thanks for all your efforts.

Kind regards,
Vincent Harmsen

Dear Mr Harmsen,

 

Thank you for your reply e-mail below. Please be informed that EFSA is not
going to disclose your name or any of your personal data to third parties
allowing your identification.

 

As indicated in our e-mail, we intend to release your affiliation. It is
our understanding that you are journalist at [1]OneWorld.

Therefore, we intend to inform the third party that the request for public
access originates from a journalist from OneWorld. This is without
prejudice with the provisions of the PAD Regulation regarding the
submission of access to documents requests.

 

If you have any further observations, please do not hesitate to contact us
by replying to the present e-mail, to the mailbox:
[2][email address].

 

Yours sincerely,
