Dear Sir,
Thank you for your e-mail of 5 October 2020. We hereby acknowledge receipt
of your application for access to documents, which was registered on the
same day under reference number GESTDEM 2020/5878.
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 26
October 2020. 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.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Mr Fanta,
We refer to your request for access to documents, registered 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 26/11/2020.
An extended time limit is needed as (part of) the documents requested
originate from third parties which have been consulted. 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 17/11/2020.
We apologize for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause.
Yours sincerely,
DG GROW – Access to documents team

Dear Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs,
due to a file error in the .7z file you sent me I can not read all the documents in it. Can you please send me the entire trove of documents again in another format, e.g. a .zip file?
Yours faithfully,
Alexander Fanta
Dear Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs,
also, on further inspection, some of the file content appears to not correspond to the names of the files and content as described in the list you sent. For instance, the file labelled Ares(2020)5000837 Minutes of the ISSG on the common charger initiative, 10 September 2020.pdf actually contains a document which appears to be the minutes for a different meeting in March. Could you please check the name and content of all files and make sure that file names correspond to content?
Yours faithfully,
Alexander Fanta
