request for clarification - Your application for access to documents –
GestDem 2021/ 5742 - Ares 2021 5844337
Dear Mr Stolton,
We refer to your email of 23 September 2021 in which you make a request for access to documents,
registered on 24 September 2021 under the above-mentioned reference number.
The description given in your application makes it very difficult for us to identify concrete documents, which
would correspond to your request.
We therefore invite you, in accordance with Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public
access to documents, to provide us with more detailed information on the documents you request.
In order to properly address and allocate your request, we would firstly like to know in which particular
topic addressed under the TTC umbrella you are interested in. You will be aware that discussions in the TTC
cover a broad spectrum of trade and technology related issues, and are therefore organised in ten
dedicated working groups with different Commission Services (co-) leading them.
Secondly, we would like to understand better what kind of meetings (internal, external with stakeholders)
you are interested in, and would kindly ask you to further specify what you have described so far in your
application by ‘ “general communications” of any nature’ and by ‘written material of any kind’. Finally, your
request related to all “documentation produced after September 12, 2021”, we would appreciate if you
could indicate persons or bodies who should be the focus of your request.
If you need assistance in clarifying or specifying your application, you can contact us by email to SG UNITE D-
1 xxxxxxxxxxxx@xx.xxxxxx.xx
In accordance with the third paragraph of Article 2 of the Detailed rules for the application of Regulation
(EC) No 1049/2001 (Official Journal OJ L 345, 29.12.2001, p. 94), the deadline of 15 working days for
handling your application will start running when we receive the requested clarifications.
We thank you in advance for your understanding.
Best Regards
The Secretariat SG.D1
