Your applications for access to documents - Ref GestDem No 2022/4209
Dear Mr Henning,
We refer to your e-mail of 20 July 2022 in which you make a request for access to
documents, registered on 21 July 2022 under the above-mentioned reference number.
You requested access to documents related to the 17.05.2022 meeting between Wolt and
Ana Carla Pereira, the member of the Cabinet of Commissioner Schmit.
It was concluded that the following document falls within the scope of your application:
17/05/2022 – Ana Carla Pereira meeting with Wolt – flash report
With regard to this document, a complete disclosure is prevented by the exception
concerning the protection of privacy and the integrity of the individual outlined in Article
4(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, because they contain the following personal
data:
-
the names/initials and contact information of Commission staff members not
pertaining to the senior management;
-
the names/initials and contact details of other natural persons;
-
other information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Article 9(1)(b) of the Data Protection Regulation does not allow the transmission of these
personal data, except if you prove that it is necessary to have the data transmitted to you
for a specific purpose in the public interest and where there is no reason to assume that
the legitimate interests of the data subject might be prejudiced. In your request, you do
not express any particular interest to have access to these personal data nor do you put
forward any arguments to establish the necessity to have the data transmitted for a
specific purpose in the public interest.
Commission européenne/Europese Commissie, 1049 Bruxelles/Brussel, BELGIQUE/BELGIË - Tel. +32 22991111
Consequently, I conclude that, pursuant to Article 4(1)(b) of Regulation
(EC) No 1049/2001, access cannot be granted to the personal data contained in the
requested documents, as the need to obtain access thereto for a purpose in the public
interest has not been substantiated and there is no reason to think that the legitimate
interests of the individuals concerned would not be prejudiced by disclosure of the
personal data concerned.
Please note that the document mentioned above was drawn up for internal use under the
responsibility of the relevant services of the Commission. They solely reflect the services
interpretation of the interventions made and do not set out any official position of the
third parties to which the documents refer, which were not consulted on its content. They
do not reflect the position of the Commission and cannot be quoted as such.
In case you would disagree with this position, you are entitled, in accordance with
Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, to submit a confirmatory application
requesting the Commission to review this position.
Such a confirmatory application should be addressed within 15 working days upon
receipt of this letter to the Secretary-General of the Commission at the following address:
