Dear Frontex

Thank you for the information that you have provided. I plan to use it as part of a journalistic investigation and will be publishing parts of it and/or referring to it in my journalistic work.

Given that you have made the information public through AsktheEU.org, which is a public platform, and you state that it can only be used in the form and forum in which it was provided, would I be right in assuming that given that this has now been made public on the internet, it is available to all, and therefore that, provided that appropriate references are made to Frontex as the source of the material, no further limitations on use apply?

Yours sincerely,

Álvaro Merino
