Your confirmatory application for access to documents – Gestdem
2020/1143
Dear Mr Stolton,
I refer to your email of 7 July 2020, by which you lodge a confirmatory application in
accordance with Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access
to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents1 (hereafter Regulation
1049/2001).
I regret to inform you that your confirmatory application was lodged outside the
applicable deadline defined in Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001. That
Article provides that in the event of a total or partial refusal, the applicant may, within 15
working days of receiving the institution’s reply, make a confirmatory application asking
the institution to reconsider its position.
Consequently, the Commission is not in a position to handle your application.
Yours sincerely,
María Oliván Avilés
