Infringement proceedings related to the protection of the rule of law and EU values

The request was successful.

Patryk Wachowiec

Dear Secretariat General of the European Commission,

On 7 July 2021, the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, wrote on social media: "Since the beginning of my mandate, we have initiated 40 infringement proceedings related to the protection of the rule of law and EU values." (FR: "Depuis le début de mon mandat, nous avons engagé 40 procédures d’infraction liées à la protection de l’État de droit et des valeurs de l’UE"). Source: https://twitter.com/vonderleyen/status/1....

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting the list of infringement proceedings initiated by the Commission, as mentioned by President von der Leyen above.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir,

 

Thank you for your e-mail of 7 July 2021. We hereby acknowledge receipt of
your application for access to documents, which was registered on 8 July
2021 under reference number GESTDEM 2021/4455.

 

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 30 July 2021. 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.

Yours faithfully,
