Dear Madam,
Subject:
Your application for access to documents – GESTDEM 2021/1743,
2021/1868 and 2021/1869
We refer to your e-mail of 22 March 2021 in which you make a request for access to
documents, registered on 22 March 2021 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 20 April 2021.
An extended time limit is needed as:
in order to retrieve the documents requested, large files have to be examined;
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 11 May 2021.
We apologise for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause.
Yours faithfully,
Julien MOUSNIER
