Your application for access to documents – GESTDEM 2021/6031 and
GESTDEM 2021/6032
Dear Madam,
I refer to your request of 8 October 2021 in which you make a request for access to
documents, registered 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 on 3 November.
An extended time limit is needed as the application concerns documents held by different
Services, which must be consulted.
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 24 November 2021.
We apologise for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause and we thank you in
advance for your understanding.
Yours faithfully,
Emmanuelle Maire
