Your confirmatory application for access to documents under
Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 - GESTDEM 2021/4734
Dear Ms Berthélémy,
I refer to your e-mail of 17 September 2021, registered on 20 September 2021, in which
you submit a confirmatory application in accordance with Article 7(4) of Regulation
(EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and
Commission documents1 (hereafter ‘Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001’).
Your confirmatory application was submitted in relation to your initial application of
27 July 2021 in which you requested, I quote:
- ‘All preparatory notes and other documents (concept notes, summaries of the
meetings etc.) for the preparation, organisation, running and evaluation of all the
technical workshops on the revision of the Prüm Decisions that took place in the
past year;
- All visual support or written documents (notes, online presentation, etc.) that
supported the Commission's presentation at the online Informal videoconference
of the members of the Working Party on JHA Information Exchange (IXIM) of
21 April 2021, as referred to in CM 2415/1/21, page 3, as well as from any other

The initial request was assigned to the Directorate-General for Migration and Home
Affairs. As you did not receive an initial reply from that Directorate-General within the
statutory time limits, you submitted a confirmatory application on 17 September 2021.
In the meantime, the initial reply in question was sent to you on 15 November 2021
(under reference number Ares(2021)7010782).
Against this background, the Secretariat-General will close your confirmatory application
related to the lack of initial reply.
You remain entitled to submit a new confirmatory application in accordance with Article
7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, should you wish to request a review of the initial
reply of 15 November 2021.
Yours sincerely,
María Oliván Avilés
Head of Unit
