Exchanges on Pegasus
Alexander Fanta made this access to documents request to Communications Networks, Content and Technology as part of a batch sent to 6 authorities
Automatic anti-spam measures are in place for this older request. Please let us know if a further response is expected or if you are having trouble responding.
Dear access to documents team,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents mentioned in a recent reply to parliament by the Commission (E-000713/2022). The documents in question concern a possible blacklisting of Israeli manufacturer NSO Group and the spyware Pegasus. The reply by Commissioner Breton mentions that the Commission "has raised the issue with the export control authorities of the Member States and with Israel, with a view to mitigating the risks associated with trade in these sensitive products."
I want to request all exchanges with Member States as well as with Israel on the issue. My request is also meant to cover all internal communication within the Commission (such as e-mails, legal analysis) related to said exchanges.
The applicant notes that he has filed an identical request with DG Trade, which was transferred to DG Grow (GESTDEM 2022/3316). DG Grow has informed me in a reply dating from July 20, 2022 that it holds no document corresponding to that description. I therefore hope to identify the DG that does indeed hold the document or documents in question.
Yours faithfully,
Alexander Fanta

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your e-mail of 20/07/2022. We hereby acknowledge receipt of
your application for access to documents, which was registered on
21/07/2022 under reference number GESTDEM 2022/4211.
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to
European Parliament, Council and Commission documents, your application
will be handled within 15 working days.
The time limit will expire on 12/08/2022. In case this time limit needs to
be extended, you will be informed in due course.
You have lodged your application via 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 Commission.
For further information on your rights, please refer to the third party’s
privacy policy.
We understand that the third party running the AsktheEU.org website
usually publishes the content of applicants’ correspondence with the
Commission on that website. This includes the personal data that you may
have communicated to the Commission (e.g. your private postal address).
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 that your correspondence with the Commission is
published on a private third-party website such as AsktheEU.org, you can
provide us with an alternative, private e-mail address for further
correspondence. In that case, the Commission will send all future
electronic correspondence addressed to you only to that private address,
and it will use only that private address to reply to your request. You
should still remain responsible to inform the private third-party website
about this change of how you wish to communicate with, and receive a reply
from, the Commission.
