With regard to the documents listed above, a complete disclosure of the identified
documents is prevented by the exception concerning the protection of privacy and the
integrity of the individual outlined in Article 4(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001,
because they contain the following personal data:

other information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Article 9(1)(b) of the Data Protection Regulation does not allow the transmission of these

not express any particular interest to have access to these personal data nor do you put

Consequently, I conclude that, pursuant to Article 4(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No

not been substantiated and there is no reason to think that the legitimate interests of the

concerned.
