The documents to which you have requested access contain personal data, in particular names and
contact details of individuals who are not the main representative of the organisation concerned.
Pursuant to Article 4(1) (b) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, access to a document has to be
refused if its disclosure would undermine the protection of privacy and the integrity of the
individual, in particular in accordance with Community legislation regarding the protection of
personal data. The applicable legislation in this field is Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the
European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals
with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on
the free movement of such data.
2
When access is requested to documents containing personal data, Regulation (EC) No 45/2001
becomes fully applicable. According to Article 8(b) of this Regulation, personal data shall only be
transferred to recipients if they establish the necessity of having the data transferred to them and if
there is no reason to assume that the legitimate rights of the persons concerned might be prejudiced.
We consider that, with the information available, the necessity of disclosing the aforementioned
personal data to you has not been established and/or that it cannot be assumed that such disclosure
would not prejudice the legitimate rights of the persons concerned. Therefore, we are disclosing a
version of the documents requested in which these personal data have been redacted.
As to the handwritten signature, which is biometric data, there is a risk that their disclosure would
prejudice the legitimate interests of the persons concerned, as it would expose them to the risk of
forgery and identity theft.
In case you would disagree with the assessment that the redacted data are personal data which can
only be disclosed if such disclosure is legitimate under the applicable rules on the protection of
personal data, you are entitled, in accordance with Article 7(2) of Regulation 1049/2001, to make 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:
European Commission
Secretary-General
Transparency unit SG-B-4
BERL 5/288
B-1049 Bruxelles or by email to:

Yours faithfully,
