Dear Mr Nielsen,
We refer to your e-mail dated 17/09/2019 in which you make a request for access to "the opinion, if any, by the EESC legal service on the draft Code of Conduct".
We regret to inform you that the EESC secretariat 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 the Committee, the Committee is not in a position to fulfil your request.
Yours faithfully,
Mail/Archives Sector
