Dear Ms Reda,

 

I refer to your letter of 20 December 2017, registered on 22 December
2017, by which you submit a confirmatory application in accordance with
Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to
European Parliament, Council and Commission documents[1] (‘Regulation
1049/2001’). I also refer to the e-mail you sent today to the JRC relating
to your confirmatory request.

 

Your confirmatory application is currently being handled. Unfortunately,
we have not yet been able to gather all the elements we need to carry out
a full analysis of your request in order to take a final decision and,
therefore, we are not in a position to reply to your confirmatory request
within the prescribed time limit expiring on 23 January  2018.

 

Consequently, we have to extend this period by another 15 working days in
accordance with Article 8(2) of Regulation 1049/2001. The new deadline
expires on 13 February 2018.

 

Yours sincerely,
