In your request you highlight your interest in documents related to creation/keeping of text messages.

Furthermore, we have identified two videos which relate to specific features of the document management system and which do not seem to fall within the scope of your request.

We trust that the above is of assistance to you. However, should you not be satisfied with our reply, you may consider your right to a confirmatory application under Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001.

Yours sincerely,
