Dear Mr Breyer,

 

We refer to your Access to Documents request submitted to the European
Commission on 05/11/2018 via the website AskTheEU.org and registered on
the same day under reference number Ares (2018)5639117, reassigned to the

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to

will be handled within 15 working days. The time limit will expire on
23/11/2018. In case this time limit needs to be extended, you will be
informed in due course.

 

You have lodged your application via the AsktheEU.org website. Please note
that this is a private third-party website which has no link with any
institution of the European Union. Therefore, the European Commission or
REA 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 European Commission or REA. For further
information on your rights, please refer to the third party’s privacy
policy.

 

We understand that the third party running that website usually publishes
the content of applicants’ correspondence with the European Commission or
REA on that website. This includes the personal data that you may have
communicated to the European Commission or REA (e.g. your private postal
address).

 

Similarly, the third party publishes on that website any reply that REA
will send to the email address of the applicants generated by the
AsktheEU.org website.

 

If you do not wish your correspondence with REA to be published on the
AsktheEU.org website, you can provide us with an alternative, private
e-mail address for further correspondence. In that case, REA will send all
future electronic correspondence addressed to you only to that private
address.

 

Yours faithfully,

Dear Secretariat General of the European Commission,

Please pass this on to Mr Marc TACHELET, Director of the Research Executive Agency.

I am filing the following confirmatory application with regards to my access to documents request 'iborderctrl-Forschungsprojekt (Horizon 2020)' (Ares(2018)5639117).

As to the protection of privacy, I do not object to blackening the names of natural persons involved in the project.

As to the protection of commercial interests, public access to the documents requested does not "undermine" the protection of commercial interests and there is an overriding public interest in disclosure.

First of all, this is a publicly funded project. The public has a legitimate interest in accessing the results of publicly funded research (open access). A lot of details on the project have been disclosed already. This confims that the iborderctrl project cannot in its entirety be considered the intellectual property of the private actors involved. Especially reports on ethical issues, the legal framework or communication strategy do not (or not mostly) contain intellectual property.

Most of all, there is a overriding public interest in finding out whether the development of unethical and/or unlawful interferences in the human right to privacy are being publicly funded. The iborderctrl project is being critically discussed in the media as aiming at establishing a new means of mass surveillance. Access to the requested documents is needed so that an informed public and democratic debate on the proposed system can take place. I intend to use the requested information politically and for media reporting.

When considering my application please keep in mind that I have successfully sued the Commission for public access in the past (C-213/15 P). Please also consider the negative effect on public opinion of withholding information from it on this controversial project.

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

whether the development of unethical and/or unlawful interferences in
the human right to privacy are being publicly funded. The iborderctrl
project is being critically discussed in the media as aiming at
establishing a new means of mass surveillance. Access to the requested
documents is needed so that an informed public and democratic debate on
the proposed system can take place. I intend to use the requested
information politically and for media reporting.

When considering my application please keep in mind that I have
successfully sued the Commission for public access in the past (C-213/15
P). Please also consider the negative effect on public opinion of
withholding information from it on this controversial project.

A full history of my request and all correspondence is available on the
Internet at this address:

Yours faithfully,
Patrick Breyer
