Dear Migration and Home Affairs,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents relevant to the investigation by the European Commission Task Force on Cross-border Access to Electronic-Evidence on Improving criminal justice in cyberspace, which contain the following information:
--EU Member state responses to the “QUESTIONNAIRE for EU MEMBER STATES following the 9 June 2016 Conclusions of the JHA” on Improving criminal justice in cyberspace.
--The summary report which analyzes those questionnaire responses.
--Communication on the next steps to be taken by the task force (or the Commission) as derived from the questionnaire.
--Supplementary documents submitted by other responsible ministries, prosecutors, and/ or national or regional police.
The mentioned quesionnaire is currently available here: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/eev...
"This questionnaire is designed to provide further information to the European Commission Task Force on Cross-border Access to Electronic-Evidence, in order to facilitate swift progress of our work. We would be grateful for receiving your replies by Friday 16 September 2016. Whereas some of the questions mainly refer to the legal framework, other questions are more related to current (working) practices in your Member State. The diversity in questions may require you to involve multiple organisations, including e.g. your responsible ministry, prosecutors and / or your national or regional police."
Similarly to the Encryption of Data Questionnaire 12368/16, which was declassified by the Council in October and the responses of which have been largely made public; the responses to the Questionnaire for EU Member States on Improving criminal justice in cyberspace should be accessible to all stakeholders, especially academics and civil society, for further analysis and better understanding of the decision-making process.
Yours faithfully,

Dear Madam,
Thank you for your e-mail dated 01/12/2016 by which you lodged a request
for access to documents. In accordance with the procedural rules of
Regulation 1049/2001, we asked you by mail dated 02/12/2016 (mail below),
to submit a valid postal address in order to allow us to register formally
your request. We never received a reply to our e-mail of December 02,
2016. We presume that you have replied to 'EC ARES NOREPLY
[5][email address]', therefore your reply never reached us.
We were therefore not in a position to register your request.
The Unit in charge of your file has found your request in the document of
ACCESS NOW "Access Now comments on the Commission’s Progress Report
following the Conclusions of the Council of the European Union on
Improving Criminal Justice in Cyberspace" (document attached) and informed
us recently.
We reiterate our request to you to send us your postal address that is
required for registering and handling your request in line with the
procedural requirements. Please send us your full postal address at your
earliest convenience. Pending your reply, we still reserve the right to
refuse the registration of your request, as we did in our mail of
02/12/2016.
