Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:
All of the Commission opinions and amicus briefs -if available, other than the ones which are posted in the official website for DG of Competition- which have been provided to UK Courts and Tribunals in cases before them regarding competition law
The purpose of this demand is for the research purposes.

Dear Competition Commission,
In my previous two e-mails I have omitted to clarify my request in sufficient depth,
As the Commission usually can submit to the courts their opinions with regards to various subjects in the competition law, my request for the Commission opinions and amicus briefs are the ones which are provided or submitted to the UK Courts pursuant to Article 15(1) and 15(3) respectively, of the Regulation 1/2003 on the implementation of the rules on competition laid down in Articles 101 and 102 of the TFEU.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
Yours faithfully,
M. Budak
