Dear Taxation and Customs Union,

Please pass this on to the person who reviews confirmatory applications.

I am filing the following confirmatory application with regards to my access to documents request 'Statistical information about DAC exchange of information upon request'.

In your refusal of my documents request you are not demonstrating that divulging the information requested will cause any harm to the EU.

Additionally, in the view of the damage caused for national and EU public funding by possibly not using cross-border group requests to combat tax fraud, tax evasion and tax avoidance, I am of the opinion that there is an overwhelming public interest which overrides your concerns.

A full history of my request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.asktheeu.org/en/request/stat...

Yours faithfully,
