Biometric EP attendance register
Dear Sir/Madam,
months ago I requested access to the correspondence between the EDPS and the European Parliament on plans to introduce a biometric attandance register. Could you please take care? No need to send correspondence before 2021.
Best regards

Dear Mr Breyer,
We refer to your email of 04.03.2022, in which you make a request for
access to documents under the Regulation (EU) No 1049/2001, registered
with case number 2022-0289.
We have identified a large number of documents falling within the scope of
your request. Their processing will create unnecessary administrative
burden on the EDPS. We therefore invite you, pursuant to Article 6(2) of
Regulation (EU) No 1049/2001 and in order to decrease the number of
document to be processed and still meet your needs, to exclude from the
scope of your request the following:
1. Acknowledgements of receipt
2. Reminder letters/e-mails
3. Duplicate letters/e-mails – identical communications saved
in separate cases with different ID numbers
4. Chain of e-mails – in case an e-mail is a reply to previous
communications and they are in the text body we will provide you only with
the last e-mail. If the different e-mails contain attachments, then this
e-mail will be provided separately.
If you agree with this proposal, please send us a confirmation, so we
could speed up our work.
Thank you in advance.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am very happy to agree to your proposal.
Yours sincerely,
Patrick Breyer
Dear Mr Breyer,
We are writing you concerning your access to documents request case number
2022-0289.
In accordance with Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EU) No 1049/2001 regarding
public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents,
you are entitled to receive a reply within 15 working days.
However, due to the amount of documents, the EDPS will not be in a
position to respond within the original time limit of 15 working days. We
have therefore decided to extend the time limit by 15 working days in
accordance with Article 7(3) of Regulation (EU) 1049/2001.
You should expect to receive a reply from the EDPS by 15.04.2022 at the
latest.
Yours sincerely,

We apologies in advance for any inconveniences caused.
