Communication with stakeholders on Austrian airfare plans

Marché intérieur, Industrie, Entrepreneuriat et PME n'avait pas les informations demandées.

Dear Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs,

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:

1) Any and all correspondence (including email) from 1 January 2020 to the present day, between DG Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs and stakeholders regarding airfare pricing in relation to the climate. This includes, but is not limited to, measures proposed by the Austrian government.

2) A list of meetings, virtual or otherwise, from 1 January 2020 to the present day, between DG Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs and stakeholders regarding airfare pricing in relation to the climate. This includes, but is not limited to, measures proposed by the Austrian government.

3) minutes of all meetings, virtual or otherwise, from 1 January 2020 to the present day, between DG Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs and stakeholders regarding airfare pricing in relation to the climate. This includes, but is not limited to, measures proposed by the Austrian government.

I would like to make clear I prefer you produce the documents on a rolling basis. At no point should the Commission’s search for—or deliberations concerning—certain documents delay the production of others that the Commission has already retrieved and elected to produce.

To the extent possible, I prefer the documents in electronic format. Documents that cannot be sent in electronic format should be sent to the address below.

Should my request be denied wholly or partially, please explain the denial or all deletions referring to specific exemptions in the regulation. Also I expect the partial release of documents, in case of partial exemption according to article 4.6.

I reserve the right to appeal.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your e-mail of 09 February 2021. We hereby acknowledge receipt of your application for access to documents, which was registered on 10 February 2021 under reference number GESTDEM 2021/0616.

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents, your application will be handled within 15 working days. The time limit will expire on 3 March 2021. In case this time limit needs to be extended, you will be informed in due course.

You have lodged your application via a private third-party website, which has no link with any institution of the European Union. Therefore, the European Commission cannot be held accountable for any technical issues or problems linked to the use of this system.

Please note that the private third party running the Asktheeu website is responsible and accountable for the processing of your personal data via that website, and not the Commission. For further information on your rights, please refer to the third party’s privacy policy.

We understand that the third party running the AsktheEU.org website usually publishes the content of applicants’ correspondence with the Commission on that website. This includes the personal data that you may have communicated to the Commission (e.g. your private postal address).

Similarly, the third party publishes on that website any reply that the Commission will send to the email address of the applicants generated by the AsktheEU.org website.

If you do not wish that your correspondence with the Commission is published on a private third-party website such as AsktheEU.org, you can provide us with an alternative, private e-mail address for further correspondence. In that case, the Commission will send all future electronic correspondence addressed to you only to that private address, and it will use only that private address to reply to your request. You should still remain responsible to inform the private third-party website about this change of how you wish to communicate with, and receive a reply from, the Commission.

Yours faithfully,
GROW Access to Document Team

Dear Mr Sabido,

Please find attached the reply to your request for access to documents registered under GestDem 2021/0616.

According to the standard operational procedure, the reply is usually also sent to you by registered mail. Please note, however, that due to the extraordinary health and security measures currently in force during the COVID-19 epidemics, which include the requirement for all Commission non-critical staff to telework, we are unfortunately not in a position to follow this procedure until further notice.

We would therefore appreciate if you could confirm receipt of the present e-mail by replying to [DG GROW request email].

Kind regards,
DG GROW – Access to documents team
