As specified in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 2001 regarding public
access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents1 (hereinafter
‘Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001’), the right of access as defined in that regulation applies
only to existing documents in the possession of the institution.
Given that no such documents, corresponding to the description given in your
application, are held by DG MOVE, this Directorate-General is not in a position to fulfil
your request.
In accordance with Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, you are entitled to make
a confirmatory application requesting the Commission to review this position.
Such a confirmatory application should be addressed within 15 working days upon receipt

The COVID-19 outbreak undoubtedly has an impact on the process of handling access to
documents requests under Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001. Given large-scale teleworking of
the Commission services, all replies, which should normally be sent via registered post,
currently are sent only by e-mail. In this regard, we kindly ask you to confirm receipt of this
email.
Yours faithfully,
Henrik HOLOLEI
