Third party access to Information Security Management System
Dear Secretariat General,
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:
A list of third parties that have access to classified documents held on the European Commission's secure systems, for example universities, NGOs, and non-EU institutions, indicating the maximum level of access in each instance
An approximate number of documents, by level of classification, currently held on the system
The address is;
313, Norman Shaw North,
House of Commons,
Westminster SW1A 0AA
Yours faithfully,
Lee Rotherham
Dear Mr Rotherham,
We contact you in reference to three e-mails you sent to us on 22 April
2016 (17:07), 22 April 2016 (17:12) and 27 April 2016 (20:45),
respectively. In these e-mails you request access to documents, based on
Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to European
Parliament, Council and Commission documents. You ask for:
- documents which contain [t]he number of documents held by the
Commission on secure systems that have been supplied by the United Kingdom
Government, broken down by (i) security classification (ii) holding DG if
that information is readily determinable;
- A list of third parties that have access to classified documents
held on the European Commission's secure systems, for example
universities, NGOs, and non-EU institutions, indicating the maximum level
of access in each instance. An approximate number of documents, by level
of classification, currently held on the system;
- A list of the titles of non-papers generated by the Commission
over the last twelve month period for which figures are available.
These (broad) descriptions do, unfortunately, not enable us to identify
concrete documents which would correspond to your request. We therefore
invite you, pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation 1049/2001, to provide
us with more detailed information on the documents which you seek to
obtain, such as references, dates (or a shorter period) at which the
documents would have been produced, persons or bodies who drafted the
documents, a specification of secure systems and non-papers, etc.
Once we have received your specifications, and have been able to attribute
your requests to the corresponding lead DG/service, your applications will
be registered and the time limit for handling your applications will start
running.
Kind regards,
