Your application for access to documents - Ref. GestDem № 2016/2840
Dear Mr Hai,
I have been asked to answer your email dated 9 June 2016, in which you
request access to information with regard to all media releases (from 1
January 2016) that mention the UK referendum.
I note that, in your request, you refer to Regulation 1049/2001 regarding
public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents.
However, your request does not concern access to Commission documents
under Regulation 1049/2001, but rather to media releases – information
that is, by definition, publicly available.
The information you requested has been published in the European
Commission's online Press Release Database, which can be found here:
[6]http://europa.eu/rapid/search.htm
I invite you to use the search function to retrieve the relevant press
releases.
Alternatively, clicking on the following link will display all press
releases from 1 January 2016 that mention both "UK" and "referendum":

In addition, the European Commission's Representation in the United
Kingdom, also issues press releases that you can find here:
[8]http://ec.europa.eu/unitedkingdom/news_en
I hope that the above answers your question satisfactorily.
Yours sincerely,
