Dear colleagues,

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, provided in Regulation 1049/2001, I request documents held by Commissioner Reynders, his cabinet, and DG Just, concerning the Irish Data Protection Commission and Ireland’s application of the GDPR.

TIME SCOPE OF REQUEST

I request only documents produced or received during a 150 day period: from 14 August 2022 to the present date, 9 January 2023.

SCOPE OF REQUEST

Article 3(a) of Regulation 1049/2001 defines documents as:
“any content whatever its medium (written on paper or stored in electronic form or as a sound, visual or audiovisual recording) concerning a matter relating to the policies, activities and decisions falling within the institution's sphere of responsibility”.

This request includes all documents in the meaning of Article 3(1) of Regulation 1049/2001, whether long term records or short term notes, irrespective of whether they are included in the eDomec or ARES systems. This also includes all relevant papers, reports, presentations, speeches, minutes, notes, communications, correspondence, agendas, minutes, and comments, whether hand written or typed or otherwise recorded. This also includes but is not limited to all communications and meetings with or concerning the Irish Data Protection Commission itself, and relevant communications and meetings with the Irish Government and other Commission DGs and European institutions and agencies.

PUBLIC INTEREST

This is a matter of utmost public interest. The “one-stop-shop” mechanism in the GDPR means that Ireland’s application of the GDPR is essential to protecting the fundamental rights of all citizens across the Union.

POSTAL ADDRES

I request the documents in electronic format.

(My postal address: Dr Johnny Ryan, Irish Council for Civil Liberties, Unit 11, First Floor, 34, Usher's Quay, Dublin 8, D08 DCW9, Ireland.)
