Dear Ms Canonne,

We refer to your e-mail of 19/05/2015 in which you make a request for access to documents, registered on the same day 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 tomorrow.
An extended time limit is needed as your application concerns a large number of documents that we need to assess individually.

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 01/07/2015.

We apologise for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause.

Best regards,
DG Trade

Thanks a lot

Yours faithfully,

Amélie Canonne

Dear Ms Canonne,

Our apologies for the delay and we thank you for your patience.
