ECB Corporate QE & Irish IFSC
Dear European Central Bank,
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:
What per centage of the Covered Bonds bought by ECB in 2014 and 2015 were issued by Banks that are based in Ireland?
Yours faithfully,
Ranjan Kumaran

Dear ECB Information,
Thanks for the swift reply.
In December 2014 I asked the ECB to individually name which Covered Bonds it has been purchasing — but it refused.
On November 6th 2015 my present request was refused on the grounds that it had already been fully explained in January 2015.
In fact I was not asking the same question.
The reasons the ECB put forward in January 2015 do not relate to the current request which is simply for the quantity of Covered Bonds the ECB has purchased that were originally issued in Ireland.
Please respond.
Kind Regards,
Ranjan Kumaran

Dear Mr Kumaran,
Further to your e-mail of 10 November 2015, we would like to clarify – as
communicated in the ECB’s response of 30 January 2015 to your public
access request (including your request for “a country by country
breakdown”) – that a disclosure of the country breakdown of the purchase
volume conducted under the CBPP3 is not foreseen, as it would disclose
confidential features governing the implementation of the purchase
programme and, therefore, challenge its efficiency and flexibility.
Yours sincerely,
Valérie Saintot
