Interpretation of Regulation 1049/2001

The request was successful.

Mathias Schindler

Dear Legal Service,

50 years ago, the US "Freedom of Information Act" came into force and became - with some major revisions - an important factor in the generally understood right for access to information and documents. Happy FOIA day to you, too.

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:

All documents related to the application and interpretation of Regulation 1049/2001 by the European Commission (including its Legal Service). I am particularly interested in documents providing interpretation and guidance to the Commission on terms in the Regulation as well as disputes with third parties about the interpretation. A few examples might include the ad-hoc introduction of a postal address requirement for access to documents requests or the question what an "exceptional case" is as referred to in Article 7 (3) of the Regulation.

Yours faithfully,

Mathias Schindler
