Dear Sir ,

 

Thank you for your  e-mail  of 13 April 2021. We hereby acknowledge
receipt of your application for access to documents, which was registered
on 14 April 2021 under reference number GESTDEM 2021/2311.

 

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to
European Parliament, Council and Commission documents, your application
will be handled within 15 working days. The time limit will expire on 5
May 2021. In case this time limit needs to be extended, you will be
informed in due course.

 

You have lodged your application via a private third-party website, which
has no link with any institution of the European Union. Therefore, the
European Commission cannot be held accountable for any technical issues or
problems linked to the use of this system.

 

Please note that the private third party running the [AsktheEU.org]
website is responsible and accountable for the processing of your personal
data via that website, and not the Commission. For further information on
your rights, please refer to the third party’s privacy policy.

We understand that the third party running the AsktheEU.org website
usually publishes the content of applicants’ correspondence with the
Commission on that website. This includes the personal data that you may
have communicated to the Commission (e.g. your private postal address).

 

Similarly, the third party publishes on that website any reply that the
Commission will send to the email address of the applicants generated by
the AsktheEU.org website.

 

If you do not wish that your correspondence with the Commission is
published on a private third-party website such as AsktheEU.org, you can
provide us with an alternative, private e-mail address for further
correspondence.  In that case, the Commission will send all future
electronic correspondence addressed to you only to that private address,
and it will use only that private address to reply to your request. You
should still remain responsible to inform the private third-party website
about this change of how you wish to communicate with, and receive a reply
from, the Commission.

 

For information on how we process your personal data visit our page
[1]Privacy statement – access to documents.

 

Yours faithfully,

Access to Documents Team

DG TRADE

Dear Mr Fanta,

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

Your application is currently being processed. However, the handling of
your application has taken more time than planned and 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.

In order to finalize the response to your request, 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 31 May 2021. However, I would like to inform you
that the reply to your request has been already prepared and has just been
submitted to approval process.

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

Yours sincerely,

Access to Documents Team

Dear Mr. Fanta,

 

Please see attached the documents regarding your request.

 

According to our standard operational procedure, you would have also
received the letter by registered mail. However, due to the extraordinary
health and security measures currently in force during to the COVID-19
epidemic, which requires all Commission’s non-critical staff to telework,
we are unfortunately not in a position to follow this procedure until
further notice.

 

We would therefore appreciate if you could confirm receipt of the present
e-mail by replying to [1][DG TRADE request email].

 

Kind regards,

Aniko MOLNAR
