Dear Sir,
Please be assured that the ECB is currently assessing your request.
On this occasion, we would like to clarify that access to ECB documents is governed by Decision ECB/2004/3 according to which a reply to your application is due within 20 working days. However, as your request is very wide in scope, covers a long period of time and requires the consultation of other parties, we have to invoke Article 7.3 of Decision ECB/2004/3 and extend the time limit provided to reply by an additional 20 working days.
Your faithfully,
