Refused registration to Access to Documents requests
Dear Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators,
I am requesting a copy of each Access to Documents request from 2018 and 2019 that was refused registration because the requesting person did not provide a postal address.
Please do not transfer this request to another authority, I am specifically asking for requests that were sent to you.
I am perfectly fine with the redaction of personal information.
Since my postal address is on file and there is no legal requirement for a provision of a postal address (and since the European Commission has stopped sending out physical letters in Access to Document request procedures during the pandemic anyway) please do not bother asking me again for a postal address, which yould be especially hillarious given the topic of this request, don't you think?
Yours faithfully,
Mathias Schindler
Dear Mr Schindler,
I refer to your e-mail dated 5 June 2020, in which you make an application
for access to documents, registered on the same day under the above
mentioned reference number.
No documents were found that would correspond to the description given in
your application.
Indeed, as specified in Article 2(3) of Regulation 1049/2001, the right of
access as defined in that regulation applies only to existing documents in
the possession of the institution.
Given that no such documents have been identified, the Agency is not in a
position to handle your request.
In accordance with Article 7(2) of Regulation 1049/2001, you are entitled
to make a confirmatory application requesting the Agency to review this
position.
Such a confirmatory application should be addressed within 15 working days
upon receipt of this letter to the Director of the Agency at the following
address:
Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators
Trg Republike 3
1000 – Ljubljana
Slovenia
or by email to: [1][email address] and
