Dear Sir,
We refer to your e-mail of 01 July 2021, in which you make a request for
access to documents.
You requested documents which contain the following information:
“In regards to UAP, is the EDA in a position that in any way can be
compared to that of Pentagon prior to statement by Pentagon Press
Secretary John Kirby on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Assessment June 25,
2021?”[1][1]
After a careful examination, we regret to inform you that EDA does not
hold any documents that would correspond to the description given in your
application.
As specified in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, the right of
access as defined in that regulation applies only to existing documents in
the possession of the institution. Given that no such documents,
corresponding to the description given in your application, are held by
EDA, the latter is not in a position to fulfil your request.
Means of redress
In accordance with Article 7(2) of Regulation 1049/2001, you are entitled
to make a confirmatory application requesting EDA to review its position.
Such a confirmatory application should be addressed within 15 working days
upon receipt of this email to the Chief Executive of EDA to the following
email: [2][EDA request email]
Yours sincerely,
EDA Access to Documents
