Dear Ms Douo,
We refer to your email dated 29/06/2016 in which you make a request for information, which we registered on 30/06/2016.
Your application is currently being handled. However, we will not be in a position to complete the handling of your application within the time limit of 15 working days, which expires on 20/07/2016.
An extended time limit is needed as your application concerns a large number of documents that have to be analysed.
Therefore, we have to extend the time limit with 15 working days. The new time limit expires on 11/08/2016.
We apologise for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause.
Yours faithfully,
