The term 'Associated Documents' hereunder refers to any document directly associated with the Questionnaire such as 'instructions' how to fill in the questionnaire, notes to data controllers about the Questionnaire etc.

Copies of the following documents drawn up by the DPO are kindly requested:

1: The year 2006 version of the Questionnaire and the Associated Documents
