Rental contract

The request was successful.

Dear European Maritime Safety Agency,

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

The rental contract(s) of the building(s) the agency occupies

Yours faithfully,

Peter Teffer

PS: I have noticed that European institutions sometimes send both a digital and a paper version by registered mail of FOI responses. Please only send paper versions of your communication if you do not intend to send a digital copy. The physical mail always reaches me later than e-mail, so paper versions are environmentally wasteful and somewhat inefficient.

Dear Madam, Sir,

Many thanks for your reply and your referral to the Draft general budget of the European Commission for the financial year 2017.

However, that document does not contain a specific element of information I am interested in: the clause in the rental contract(s) that governs termination of the contract(s).

Can you please send the contract(s) or at least the page(s) of the contract that deals with how and when the contract(s) can be terminated?

All the best,
Peter Teffer

Dear Mr. Teffer,

With regards your follow-up request related to the initial application for access to documents dated 8th of May 2017, request received by the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) on the 1st of June 2017, please find attached a scan copy of the Lease Agreement EMSA has concluded with APL Lisbon for the lease of the building(s) which EMSA is currently using as headquarters in Lisbon Portugal.

Note that certain parts of the document have been already erased as follows:

- taking into consideration latest terrorist attacks throughout Europe and in line with the provisions of Article 4(1)a. of Regulation (EC) No.1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council regarding public access to documents, none of the Annexes to the Lease Agreement shall be disclosed as these contain plans and blueprints of the rented buildings;
- in line with the provisions of Article 4(1)b. of Regulation (EC) No.1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council regarding public access to documents, all references to personal data that is not public information already have been erased;
- in line with the provisions of Article 4(2) and 4(4) of Regulation (EC) No.1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council regarding public access to documents, more detailed renting prices per sqm. have not been disclosed as these are the subject of direct negotiations with a third party and disclosure of these could undermine the protection of the commercial interests of this legal person.

Information on available remedies can be found in Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No.1049/2001.

Andrea Tassoni
