Dear Madam,
We refer to your request dated 17/04/2018 in which you make requests for access to documents, registered on 19/04/2018 under the above mentioned reference number.
Your application is currently being handled. However, we will not be in a position to complete the handling of your application within the time limit of 15 working days, which expires on 16/05/2018.
An extended time limit for more in-depth investigations is needed in order to complete our assessment on the possibility for the public disclosure of the documents requested.
Therefore, we have to extend the time limit with 15 working days in accordance with Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to documents. The new time limit expires on 07/06/2018.
We apologize for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause.
