Dear Mr Strack,

Your request for access to the Court's documents, which you lodged via
email on 4 August 2014, has been carefully analysed.

In accordance with [1]Decision No 12/2005 of the Court of Auditors of 10
March 2005regarding public access to Court documents, the data related to
whistleblowing cases cannot be granted access due to confidentiality. As a
general rule, this information can only be transmitted to the person
having made the denunciation in question. Such confidentiality is in line
with the new Staff Regulations and aims at preserving and protecting the
people being implicated in whistleblowing procedures. The Treaty also
stipulates that for procedures requiring confidentiality, the principle of
transparency needs to be balanced against the need for professional
secrecy. I therefore regret to inform you that your request has been
refused.

I would like to inform you that in accordance with Article 7 of Decision
No 12/2005, you may ask the Court to reconsider its position within 15
working days of receiving the Court's reply.

Kind regards,
Damijan Fiser

Dear European Court of Auditors,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews and the President of the Court.

In accordance with art. 7 and 8 of Decision No 12/2005 of the Court of Auditors of 10 March 2005 regarding public access to Court documents I am writing to request an internal review / request for reconsideration of the European Court of Auditors's handling of my FOI request 'Art 22b SR - Contacts' and its decision of 21.08.2014 to fully deny my initial request.

The Courts decision of 21.08.2014 in my opinion is violating the law as far as it did not test and not argue about the application of art. 4 Nr. 6 of the above mentioned Decision of 10.03.2005. It should have been evaluated and reasoned if at least parts of my request could be handled positively and if legitimate confidentiality needs could not be served by simply blackening parts of the requested documents.

You also should have consulted the whistleblowers who you are claiming to protect if they (still) want their identity to be treated confidentially. The decision of 21.08.2014 does not provide any information that this had been done.

Finally the decision of 21.08.2014 speaks about a "gerneral rule" but lacks to specify who issued that rule and where it could be found. If such a rule really exists please send me a copy of it.

Please also send me a confirmation of reception of this secondary request as soon as possible.

Yours faithfully,

Guido Strack
