New regional legislation in Spain about foreclosures

The request was successful.

Dear Economic and Financial Affairs (ECFIN),

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting the following document:

The letter sent by the European Commission to the Spanish Government asking for detailed information regarding the new regional housing legislation and its compatibility with the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)

The existence of the letter was revealed by media reports on 9 May.

Yours faithfully,

Jordi Fabrega

Dear Sir,

Subject: Your application for access to documents – Ref GestDem No 2013/2558

We refer to your request for access to documents as clarified on 22/05/2013 and 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 limit of 15 working days, which expires today.

An extended time limit is needed as your application concerns documents that are not clearly identified. We are in the process of consulting various Commission services in order to establish whether the documents your requested really exist.

Therefore, we have to extend the time limit by 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 03/07/2013.

We apologise for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause.
