Dear ve_sg.accessdoc (SG),

I believe that my original request was sufficiently specific, however, in order to refine the request further I will revise it to say:

All communication between Zoom Video Communications and the European Commission's DG Connect since the start of the year (January 1st 2020). This could include but is not limited to, e-mails, text messages, basis documents, memos or drafts.

Yours sincerely,

Samuel Stolton

Dear Sir,

 

Thank you for your clarification dated 17 November 2020. In  accordance 
with  Article  2,  third  paragraph  of  the  Implementing  Rules  to 
Regulation  (EC)  No 1049/2001, the 15 working days time limit for
handling your application starts running when we receive the requested
clarifications. The time limit will therefore expire on 8 December 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.

 

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

Yours faithfully,

Dear Mr Stolton,  

 

We refer to your request for access to documents, registered  under the
abovementioned 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 as different Services must be
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 7 January 2021. 

 

We apologise for this delay and for any inconvenience this may cause.  

 

Yours faithfully,
