Dear Madam,

 

Thank you for your e-mail of 29 September 2021. We hereby acknowledge
receipt of your application for access to documents, which was registered
on 30 September 2021 under reference number GESTDEM 2021/5811.

 

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 21 October 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.org 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.

 

For information on how we process your personal data visit our page
[5]Privacy statement – access to documents.

Yours faithfully,

Dear [email address],

Apologies for the delay in responding. I would like to receive the documents related to the implementation of the project and financial data, including:
- the full proposal, based on which funding was granted for the implementation of this project; this should include the approved budget for the implementation of the project
- any reports, such as mid-term reports, or evaluations submitted or carried out so far which explain the progress that is being made in the implementation of the project

I hope that this sufficiently explains what is needed, but please let me know if not.

Yours sincerely,

Ines Bulic Cojocariu

Dear Ms Bulic,

 

We refer to your request for access to documents, initially registered on
30 September 2021 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 today. An extended time limit is
needed for the purpose of internal consultations.

accordance with Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding
public access to documents. The new time limit expires on 3 December 2021.

 

We apologise for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause and
we thank you for your understanding.

 

Yours sincerely,
