Sincerely,
Peter Teffer

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your e-mail of 4 June 2020. We hereby acknowledge receipt of
your application for access to documents, which was registered on 5 June
2020 under reference number GESTDEM 2020/3409.
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 26
June 2020. 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 Ask the EU 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.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Mrs Ampelas,
Thank you for your e-mail requesting to reach a fair solution regarding my access to documents request registered on 5 June 2020 under GESTDEM 2020/3409, to make handling it more manageable.
Regarding point 1, I can accept the limitation of progress reports communicated to Member States, but would like to receive a description or list of documents that as a consequence will not be included.
Regarding point 2, the transfer of competence of the development of EUDAMED from the Director General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs (DG GROW) to DG SANTE is one of my interests. I therefore propose to limit the temporal scope of this point of my request from 1 January 2019 to January 2020. I would also be satisfied with a limitation of only all e-mails (including any attachments) between DG SANTE and DG GROW, and not any other DG's. That should sufficiently limit the time needed to organise the documents related to point 2.
All the best,
Peter Teffer
Dear Madam, Sir,
I refer to my application for access to documents which was registered under GESTDEM 2020/3409.
I accepted a limitation in the scope of my request in order to reach a fair solution, so that the Commission would be able to achieve handling the request within the extended deadline of 15 + 15 working days. The fact that a fair solution was proposed gave the impression that I could expect a response within that deadline.
Sadly, I have to remind you that this extended deadline has now passed and legally the Commission should have responded by now.
Hoping to receive a response without further delay,
Peter Teffer
Dear Mr Teffer,
Thank you for your e-mail of 20 July regarding the request for access to
documents GestDem 2020/3409, which has been registered under the reference
number Ares(2020)2919009.
We would like to inform you that we are working on finalising your request
and hope to complete it as soon as possible. Despite the fair solution,
the request still requires the Commission to identify documents from among
a large volume of files originating from different departments within the
Commission.
We hope for your understanding and apologise for any inconvenience this
may cause.
Kind regards,
Anna-Eva AMPELAS
