Dear Mr Stolton,
We refer to your email of 23 September 2021 in which you make a request
for access to documents, registered on 24 September 2021 under the
above-mentioned reference number.
The description given in your application makes it very difficult for us
to identify concrete documents, which would correspond to your request.
We therefore invite you, in accordance with Article 6(2) of Regulation
(EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to documents, to provide us with
more detailed information on the documents you request. In order to
properly address and allocate your request, we would firstly like to know
in which particular topic addressed under the TTC umbrella you are
interested in. You will be aware that discussions in the TTC cover a broad
spectrum of trade and technology related issues, and are therefore
organised in ten dedicated working groups with different Commission
Services (co-) leading them. Secondly, we would like to understand better
what kind of meetings (internal, external with stakeholders) you are
interested in, and would kindly ask you to further specify what you have
described so far in your application by ‘ “general communications” of any
nature’ and by ‘written material of any kind’.
If you need assistance in clarifying or specifying your application, you
can contact us by email to: [1][DG TRADE request email].
In accordance with the third paragraph of Article 2 of the Detailed rules
for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 (Official Journal
OJ L 345, 29.12.2001, p. 94), the deadline of 15 working days for handling
your application will start running when we receive the requested
clarifications – different from our earlier indication via the
acknowledgment email sent to you on 24 September 2021, our reference
Ares(2021)5831906.
Thank you in advance for your understanding.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Sir,
We refer to your e-mail of 23 September 2021 in which you make a request
for access to documents, registered on 24 September 2021 under the above
mentioned reference number.
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 15 October 2021.
An extended time limit is needed as the application concerns documents
held by different Services, which must be consulted.
Therefore, we have to extend the time limit with 15 working days in
accordance with Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding
public access to documents. The new time limit expires on 09 November
2021.
We apologise for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause.
Yours sincerely,

meantime by default, Ares(2021)6230112.
