Dear Sir,
Thank you for your e-mail of 31 March 2022. We hereby acknowledge receipt
of your application for access to documents, which was registered on
12/04/2022 under reference number GESTDEM 2022/1929.
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to
European Parliament, Council and Commission documents, your application
will be handled within 15 working days.
The time limit will expire on 6 May 2022. In case this time limit needs to
be extended, you will be informed in due course.
You have lodged your application via a private third-party website, which
has no link with any institution of the European Union.
Therefore, the European Commission cannot be held accountable for any
technical issues or problems linked to the use of this system.
Please note that the private third party running the AsktheEU.org website
is responsible and accountable for the processing of your personal data
via that website, and not the Commission.
For further information on your rights, please refer to the third party’s
privacy policy.
We understand that the third party running the AsktheEU.org website
usually publishes the content of applicants’ correspondence with the
Commission on that website. This includes the personal data that you may
have communicated to the Commission (e.g. your private postal address).
Similarly, the third party publishes on that website any reply that the
Commission will send to the email address of the applicants generated by
the AsktheEU.org website.
If you do not wish that your correspondence with the Commission is
published on a private third-party website such as AsktheEU.org, you can
provide us with an alternative, private e-mail address for further
correspondence. In that case, the Commission will send all future
electronic correspondence addressed to you only to that private address,
and it will use only that private address to reply to your request. You
should still remain responsible to inform the private third-party website
about this change of how you wish to communicate with, and receive a reply
from, the Commission.

Dear Foreign Policy Instruments,
Please pass this on to the person who reviews confirmatory applications.
I am filing the following confirmatory application with regards to my access to documents request '"CT CLOSE" project'.
The reply considered that the information requested could not be disclosed because its disclosure would undermine the protection of the public interest as regards the public security of the partner countries in
which the programme CT CLOSE works. In fact, putting this information in the public
domain could threaten the safety and security of several participating entities and partners as
well as it would affect the implementation and outcome of the programme.
FPI also refused to grant a partial access to the documents.
I find it extremely worrying that the European Commission can not disclose ANY document / information on a programme it funds in the field of counter-terrorism. Publicly available information (on the Commission website) indicate that the 2nd phase of CT CLOSE received 3 Million EUR.
I do believe the European Commission can disclose relevant information regarding the project (notably its description, expected outcome, implementing modalities, funding and the geographic scope) without compromising the security of the EU or its international partners / beneficiaries.
A full history of my request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: http://www.asktheeu.org/en/request/ct_cl...
Yours faithfully,
Jeroen 1050
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your email dated 26/05/2022 by which you request, pursuant
to Regulation No 1049/2001 regarding public access to European Parliament,
Council and Commission documents, a review of the position taken by FPI in

We hereby acknowledge receipt of your confirmatory application for access
to documents which was registered on 30/05/2022 (Ares(2022)3996717).
Your application will be handled within 15 working days (21/06/2022). In
case this time limit needs to be extended, you will be informed in due
course.
Please be informed that the answer to your confirmatory application is a
formal Commission decision that will be notified to you by express
delivery. Thank you for providing your contact phone number, so that the
external delivery service can contact you in case of absence.
Please note that the Commission will not use your phone number for any
other purpose than for informing the delivery service, and that it will
