The request was successful.

Dear Human Resources and Security (HR),

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:

with reference to the written answer to the European Parliament by VP Sefcovic on behalf of the European Commission dated 12th November 2013, and at http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getA...

1) Can you provide any documents showing that the Commission requested, (as expressly stated by VP Sefcovic in his written answer to the European Parliament dated 12th November 2013), a detailed report on the mathematics and chemistry exams from the Office of Secretary General of the European Schools.

2) Any documents in the Commission's possession that informed or otherwise influenced the making of the request referred to at 1) above

3) Any documents generated in response to the Commission request for a detailed report as set out in 1) above including the "detailed report" which VP Sekcovic states was prepared by independent experts in response to the Commission request.

4) Any documents in the Commission's possession that informed or otherwise influenced the Commission's reasoning, leading the Commission to state in the written answer of 12th November2013, that they consider that Professor Norbert Pachler and his colleague Dr Smith were "independent external experts" when preparing the report mentioned in 3) above.

5) Provide a copy of any documents containing the "recommendations [that] were made" as mentioned in the written response of VP Sefcovic detailed at 1) above.

7) Please provide any documents related to the close follow up referred to by VP Sefcovic in the written response detailed at 1) above

Yours faithfully,
