Dear Ms Crespo,

 

We refer to your request for access to documents, registered under the
above mentioned reference number.

 

Your application is currently being handled. However, we will not be in a
position to complete the handling of your application within the time

Therefore, we have to extend the time limit with 15 working days in
accordance with Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding
public access to documents. The new time limit expires on 21/10/2016.
